The second and third part of the teaser quartet that showrunner Beau Willimon and Rachel Wright, who plays Claire Underwood, have made for season 3 of House of Cards, were recently revealed.

 Claire Underwood To Have A Secret Affair In Season 3 Of House of Cards  

While in part 1 we saw Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) in the Oval Office, smoking a cigarette and heading to take a call from Claire in the bedroom, the second and third parts feature Claire. This quartet mostly gives fans a sense of the ostentatious yet cold confines of the presidential quarters, may it be in the White House orin Air Force One. In the new teasers Claire is not exactly seen. In the second part her voice is heard on the telephone, as a service staff member goes about setting a tray of water on the conference table on board the flight. In the third part we get a sense of her wafting through the White House, and eventually climbing the staircase to get to her room.

Recently another teaser featuring Frank and Claire getting their first White House portrait shows the deteriorating dynamic between the two in season 3 of House of Cards.

Frank Underwood Pisses On His Father's Grave In First Episode?  

The teaser was posted on the official Twitter account for the series on February 14, as a dark celebration of Valentine's day. In the 30-second clip the photographer directs Frank to stand behind Claire, who is seated. As he does so, he rests his hand on her shoulder. His monologue relays what's actually going on:

"Today I touched your shoulder, you flinched."

Then in real time he is seen asking her, "Do you prefer I not?"

"What?" Claire asks. At this point the photgrapher interjects stating that where Frank had his hand was perfect for the portrait.

"You recoiled" Frank's voiceover continues. Claire responds by saying he is reading too much into something.

The tension is very evident in their expressions and postures for the picture, and this strongly hints at hard times for the marriage in this chapter.

The third season will premiere on February 27.
