New reports are speculating a very different turn of events in season 4 of House of Cards for the marriage of Frank (Kevin Spacey) and Claire (Robin Wright).

Most had assumed that Frank and Claire had called it quits in the finale of season 3 of the Netflix political drama, and that, predictably, in the next chapter Claire was going to be on the war path against her former spouse. This had made logical sense up until now but new reports have set astir a rumor about things playing out rather differently.

It is being suggested that Frank and Claire might infact adopt a baby to make it seem like all is well in the family and keep up the facade of marriage in the public realm. While we are obviously going to take this reported twist in the plot with a pinch of salt, we know that the most preposterous and illogical things have happened on the show so this can't be completely dismissed. House of Cards has mostly been known to shock audiences, and this might be as surprising a twist as any other.

It did seem like Claire was very determined to leave Frank for good and was digusted to the stomach by the dirty politics which she had delightfully partook in earlier. Perhaps she will change her mind or Frank will find a way to coax her, perhaps even twist her arm into staying on.

Season 4 is set to return in 2016.
