Maybe you came intothe final season ofHouse of Cardswanting justice for Zoe Barnes.
Personally, I wanted to know what was going on withCashew the guinea pig.
Claire says Frank died beside her, peacefully in his sleep.
But we all know what that means: Frank was 100 percent murdered.
The question, of course, is: Who killed him?
The Murder Suspects
President Claire Hale UnderwoodFact:Claire murdered the last guy she slept with.
On our means, motive, and opportunity checklist, Claire scores a hat trick.
Jane DavisCouldve done it on Claires behalf.
Knows all the most influential terrorists.
Has access to poison.
Anyone Claire invited into the residence wouldve had access to Frank.
It wouldnt be all that suspicious for Nathan to meet with the Underwoods there, right?
Way back when,the Underwoods loved to invite their bodyguards into their bedroom.
As for the how, I feel like Mark wouldve smothered Frank with a pillow.
But they couldve picked it up more easily by sliding it off his finger right after they MURDERED HIM.
Seth GraysonDoes whatever the Shepherds tell him to do.
Has no moral fiber and definitely never liked Frank anyway.
Cathy DurantShe totally knows Frank shoved her down the stairs to her almost death.
Surely, she wanted to get rid of him before he got rid of her.
Tom wouldnt do it alone, and neither would Janine, but maybe theyd do it together.
You know, for democracy!
Freddy of Freddys BBQ JointHe and Frank did not end their relationship on good terms.
(This is something of a pattern.)
The last thing Freddy did to Frank was call him a motherfucker.
And the true killer is…
DOUG SADNESS CAVE STAMPER!
How did he do it?
Doug gave Frank too much of his liver medication.
If you recall, Frank got a liver transplant after he was shot.
(Moretti died andDoug started screwing his widowbecause of course he did.
She was a sad brunette and Doug is just a man with a very specific, basic weakness.)
Anyway, Frank has been on those meds since season four.
Okay, but why though?
I couldnt let him destroy everything we built.
I had to protect the legacy from the man, he tells Claire inthe series finale.
But what legacy is Doug even talking about?
What becomes of the killer?
She also tells him she forgives him.
But Doug didnt come to the Oval for Claire Hales forgiveness.
He came because he had one more homicide left in him or at least, he hoped he did.
After feebly sticking Claire in the throat with Franks old letter opener, Doug pretty much gives up.
Claire snags the letter opener and stabs him in the gut.
He dies on the floor of the Oval Office in a puddle of his own blood.
Her final words to him, and the last lines inHouse of Cards: Its all right, Doug.
Everything is gonna be all right.
Its all gonna be all right.
There, no more pain.
Our apologizes to Cashew and her family.
