Does one honour the person or the office?
tsang648224 October 2022
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?

Beyond God Awful on so many levels:

Warning: Spoilers
None of the plotlines make any sense and the cliche filled dialogue includes infantile butt jokes at Sunday dinner. Sean has got to be eighteen or nineteen, not ten, and Henry, who repeats the joke, has to be over ninety.

Frank has to decide whether or not to honor the memory of his predecessor, who was ousted from office for being a thief and a criminal and who had been responsible for Henry's termination. Does this happen in every job? If someone goes to prison for embezzling from his company, does the new company president make him a huge, elaborate memorial when he dies? The crooked commissioner's ex-wife was the one who ratted on him to internal affairs and now she's the one who's insisting that he be honored. And why, after twelve seasons, is this the first time that we're hearing that there was an interim commissioner between Henry and Frank and that it hadn't been Henry's choice to step down?

Anthony and Jamie follow a woman around, every minute of every day, based on a tip from an unreliable source about a case that no one had been working on. They are very noticeable, they are practically in the woman's face constantly, but rather than inconspicuously doing her business, she runs away. Didn't she know that, by running, she would lead them right to her boyfriend/business associate? It gets worse but anyone who has nothing better to do for an hour can find this out for themselves.

Eddie brags about an antique car that she and Jamie bought, for no apparent reason. She parks it on the streets of the city, the windshield gets smashed by her partner's unstable and borderline dangerous ex-girlfriend, and Eddie quickly forgives the woman, possibly because they look alike, and makes her partner apologize.

Sorry but if this is the best they've got, it might be time to give this show a rest. It's been a nice, impressive run.
