Spoilers coming for Room of cards Season 6 After three previous abortions, President Claire Hale gets pregnant very conveniently with her late husband's baby. Room of cards Season 6.

He was supposed to have left everything, but Claire told the former chief of staff that Frank's marriage contract and she had an addendum. This clause stipulated that if the couple had descendants, the deceased spouse's property would go to their offspring. She takes Doug's hand and puts it on her belly. "Francis and I have been blessed," she said coldly. And at that moment, Claire's pregnancy became the ultimate force shot.

Episode 7 opens on a national women's conference organized by the president. Claire is wearing a tight fitting dress that reveals her pregnant stomach. The crowd loves it and it is clear that it's erected into the nation's maternal figure. As she says in her speech, "My goal is to elevate America, to fight for America and, if it happens, to die for America. I will be a father , mother, chef and friend. "

She calls her frenzy Annette handing her her phone so that she can hear the heartbeat. "You're fucking," Claire told him. "It's a girl." Yuck.

In addition, Claire uses the fact that she is in the family to manipulate people around her. Meeting with journalist Janine Skorsky (Constance Zimmer) on Air Force One, she asks the writer if she wants to feel the baby kicking.

Whatever the case may be, it is clear that the President is returning to her life with regret.

In the end, the paternity of the baby is never clarified and, as Claire is still pregnant in episode 8 of the finale, no one can guess what would have happened next. However, this is what the audience knows: Claire Hale became the first woman president, set up a women's office and killed anyone who would hinder her – perhaps making her as ruthless as her late husband – and by becoming pregnant during his term as Commander-in-Chief. And while it's hard to imagine Claire as a mother, her pregnancy has allowed her to keep Frank's assets, which may have been the main goal from the beginning.
