During the season two premiere, her investigation led to her death, with Underwood pushing her in front of a Washington Metro train to protect his own secrets. Working with her past Herald coworkers Janine Skorsky and Lucas Goodwin (with whom she begins a relationship), she investigated what she soon suspected to be murder. Later, she became increasingly suspicious of Underwood's involvement with Peter Russo. Barnes later moved to the more web-based Slugline. She formed a personal relationship with him that became sexual, often complicated by their mutual struggle for power and services from each other. The two formed an arrangement to use each other to advance their respective careers: Underwood uses her to leak stories when he wants that will damage his opponents, while Barnes uses him to get bigger and better stories. She was extremely ambitious and after an encounter with Frank Underwood she approached him at his home with a proposal.

Zoe Barnes ( Kate Mara) was a reporter for the fictitious The Washington Herald who forms a correspondence with Underwood.
