===[[Episode:The Kindness of Strangers|The Kindness of Strangers]]===
[[Claire]] tells [[West]] that they shouldn't hang out because of her parents being over-protective. When West asks if he can talk to her [[Noah|father]], she tells him to let it go, since he's over-protective. West asks her on one date, and she accepts. Later, Claire lies to her father about going to the library to be with West. West [[flight|flies]] Claire out to [[Hollywood sign|Hollywood]], then brings her back to Costa Verde late at night.

===[[Graphic Novel:The Rogue]]===
At a [[frathouse]] in Costa Verde [[Derek]] and [[Rick]], hoping to join a [[fraternity]], are sent on a scavenger hunt by the [[Fraternity_pledgemaster|pledgemaster]]. They stop by [[Costa Verde High School]] to obtain their first item. [[Claire]] leaves the keys in her [[Nissan Rogue]], and Rick and Derek steal the car. They use it to drive around town, collecting items for the scavenger hunt.

===[[The Line]]===
[[Claire]] tries out for the cheerleading squad at [[Costa_Verde_High_School|her school]] and is turned down by [[Debbie (Marshall)|Debbie]]. That night, Claire and [[West]] pull a prank on Debbie by [[Regeneration|presumably killing]] Claire and chasing her [[Flight|from the air]]. When Debbie is interviewed by a [[Costa Verde officer|police officer]], she tries to explain the story when a healthy Claire walks up, asking what's wrong. [[Ray|Another officer]] comes over, showing the bottle of alcohol to the first officer. Claire is given the spot Debbie just lost in the cheerleading squad.

===[[Cautionary Tales]]===
[[Noah]] tells his family that they are moving from Costa Verde. [[Claire]] refuses and leaves the [[The Bennets' home (Costa Verde)|Bennet house]]. She later lays out a rock pattern spelling "SORRY" for [[West]] to see. The two argue, and West [[Flight|flies]] away, saying he doesn't believe her. Back at the Bennet household, Noah shows [[Sandra]] a picture of his death.

[[Mohinder]] discusses with [[Bob]] and [[Elle]] about their plan and tells them if they don't change their plans to his way, he will reveal everything to Noah.

Noah leaves the house and is picked up by West and flown into the Costa Verde sky, in an attempt to get answers. They crash to the ground, and Noah pins West down. Noah gets a call from Mohinder, and afterwards, decides he needs West's help.

At [[Costa Verde High School|school]], Claire is approched by Bob during [[Cheerleader|cheerleading]] practice. When Bob calls her by he real last name, Bennet, she gets suspicious and runs home.

Behind Costa Verde High, Noah and Mohinder come across Elle. West flies and tackles Elle, crashing her into a car, and knocking her unconscious. Noah disarms Mohinder and points a gun at his face, but stops when West questions him, instead kicking him in the chest. Noah then arrives home to find Sandra tied up, who tells him Bob has taken Claire. West arrives, carrying Elle. Noah binds Elle in metal, casing her to shock herself, attempting to get in touch with Bob. He calls Bob, who is with Claire, telling Bob he'll meet him at the beach in two hours. Bob takes Claire's blood.

Noah, West, Elle, Bob, Mohinder and Claire show up at the beach. Claire and Elle are exchanged. West attempts to fly away with Claire, but is [[Lightning|shot down]] by Elle. Elle then beings to change to shock Noah, but, he shoots her in the arm, first. Bob runs to her aid. Noah prepares to shoot Bob, but is first shot by Mohinder, right in the eye.

West flies Claire home, and Claire tells Sandra what has happened.

Later, Claire releases her father's ashes into the sea. Sandra tells her they will be leaving soon, and Claire hugs [[West]] goodbye. She sees Elle in the distance. She runs to the car as Elle attempts to get away. Elle gives up and exits the car and confronts Claire. Claire threatens to expose [[Regeneration|her ability]] to the world.
