In “Chapter Nineteen” of House of Cards, the Tusk Strikes back, Frank is left in darkness, Claire plants the seeds of suspicion in the first lady, Rachel wants to start watering a wolf in lambskin, while Lucas’ own father chops his hand off with a lightsabre.  Wait, that’s not right.  Lucas has all hope extinguished as one friend after another abandons him to his fate.
