Interesting fact about Claire I just realized I never openly discussed: Her brain power gets a boost when she's interacting with somebody she loves. Usually Claire is incapable of making permanent memories or getting traumatized. The only reason she's traumatized is because the trauma inducing experience involved Maeve. Usually if Claire witnessed somebody blow up like that, she'd poke them with a stick and calmly ask other people nearby why that person won't wake up. Instead, Claire felt guilt for the first time, knew exactly what was happening and was able to call for help right away.
