Meeting Claire

1×10 – Raised by Another

Claire visited psychic Malkin in order to get information about her unborn child. Malkin abruptly asked Claire and Rachel to leave on their first visit, after he apparently saw a disturbing vision. He told Claire during her second visit that danger surrounded her baby, and that she must raise the child herself.

Malkin called Claire several times to try to convince her not to give her baby up for adoption, offering her an alternate plan. After 4 months, however, he changed his stance on her needing to raise the baby, and ultimately convinced Claire to get on Flight 815, to give up her child for adoption to a couple in Los Angeles, who he says are “good people”. He gave Claire $6,000 cash and bought her the plane ticket himself. (“Raised by Another”)
