The main focus of this episode is clearly Frank's decision on whether to attend the funeral of his predecessor, who had left office under dishonourable circumstances.
I was very glad that Frank comes to the right decision, after realizing that while the man may be very imperfect, the office he once occupied is clearly bigger than the man.
This storyline did play out in real-life. When Richard Nixon (the only President in history to resign) died in 1994, the sitting President (Clinton) and all living former Presidents (Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr) attended his funeral.
On another note, what does the young guy Janko and her partner arrested have to do with the entire story?
