A wild theory from Romper, meanwhile, pointed out Claire breaking the fourth wall which only Frank could do until that moment. At the season finale, she turned to the camera and seemingly looked straight at the viewers. Could this be indicative that the woman will be taking the protagonist role in the series?

The fact that she is now the second in command of the whole country further suggests that like her husband, she too has an insatiable hunger for power. It would be interesting to know at what lengths the first wife and at the same time, VP, can go in order to realize her plans. Frank did unimaginable things to stay on top of the chain, will Claire follow suit?

Given that their relationship has already been strained to a greater degree, it wouldn't come as a surprise that either one of them will pounce at each other.

Find out how things would turn out between the two when "House of Cards" Season 5 premieres next year on March.
