How has he not come up with a bulletproof - war pun! - story and just stuck to it? Why is he still so obviously skittish and weird and evasive whenever this comes up?
Look, Conway already holds elected office and he has been campaigning for the presidency for at least a year. Also, the least plausible aspect of this deeply implausible plot is that none of the callers is naked, wearing a swastika armband, or both.īefore this ridiculous telethon ensues, an ad put out by a super-PAC called “Americans for Truth” (lol) shows Conway doing his best Kennedy portrait pose while a bunch of people talk about the heroism of his vague act of wartime bravery he’s conspicuously uncomfortable describing in detail. As if anyone would think getting zero sleep and taking no breaks from the camera for a full 24 hours is a good idea for a presidential candidate the day before the election, and as if these callers and questions wouldn’t be vetted beforehand. In the category of “obviously you would never do that, for about eight billion reasons,” Conway is spending the 24 hours leading up to Election Day pulling an all-nighter and playing Chatroulette with America, sponsored by Pollyhop. It’s actually Election Day! (I also feared that this entire season would fill the two weeks leading up to that moment, and readers, I would not have survived it.) Nevertheless, it features some of HoC’s finest stuff: the loving, complex history shared by Frank and Claire, people with secrets on the verge of being outed, and something very close to plot progression. Also, the central conflict of this episode and the way the main characters react to it are beyond illogical do not fret, we will get to that in a moment. Sure, the episode is not without its come the hell on elements - all of which will be duly mocked in this recap, for I do not take this sacred duty lightly - and we are still hearing about but not seeing my favorite HoC couple, Jackie and Remy (who is maybe too famous for this show, post– Moonlight and Hidden Figures). Those first two episodes had me nervous that this season would be quite the slog, but “Chapter 55” is a reassuring one.
