The scene opens at the top of the back stairwell in the White House with Jack Bauer interrogating President Frank Underwood.

“Who else knows about this,” Bauer demands, referring to some dubious plot Underwood concocted.

“Just you,” says Underwood, unfazed.

“Who else knows!” shouts Bauer, pushing Underwood against the railing.

Underwood does not look afraid, just annoyed. He glances at the camera for a moment–breaking the fourth wall.

Bauer, unlike every other character in the series, notices the glance and comes closer to the camera. He looks directly at the audience.

“You stood by and let this happen!? I will find you.”

The screen goes black, and the episode ends.

And now I’m a guy that writes fan fiction.
