In return, SanCorp expects Underwood's assistance in promoting legislation that benefits their natural gas company. Danton also convinced Claire Underwood to backstab Frank by offering to help her to move a cargo shipment of water supplies through South Sudanese customs in exchange for her help in killing a bill that Peter Russo was sponsoring. He also switched allegiances from SanCorp to Tusk after being approached by Frank to persuade SanCorp to buy out some of Tusk's companies.
