Written by Sam Forman and directed by Joel Schumacher, the episode premiered on February 1, 2013, when it was released along with the rest of the first season on the American streaming service Netflix.
After a month-long strike, Linda (Sakina Jaffery) tells Frank (Kevin Spacey) that President Walker (Michel Gill) will modify the education bill in order to appease the teachers' union.
After Claire (Robin Wright) invites their bodyguard Edward Meechum (Nathan Darrow) inside the house for a cup of coffee, a brick is thrown at the Underwoods' window.
Zoe (Kate Mara) receives a call from Frank, who wants her to write a story blaming Spinella (Al Sapienza), the head of the union, for the brick incident.
Meanwhile, with a newly-sober Russo (Corey Stoll) agreeing to run for governor of Pennsylvania, Frank tasks Claire with drafting a bill that will create jobs in Peter's district.
On Frank's instruction, Doug orchestrates a fake protest throwing foam bricks at Spinella, causing the striking teachers to retaliate with violence.
Club said, "That's a problem with the show in general, which focuses as much on process as character development through this, the nearly halfway point in the first batch of episodes we're still calling a "season" of "television."
