*** Except Noah's just as guilty, if not more so, than Claire when it comes to endangering the family. Is what she's doing in acting out endangering her family? Yes. But Claire wouldn't be in this situation in the first place if it weren't for Noah's own inability to just sit back and do nothing. If he had just settled down, lain low, forgotten The Company and in short done everything he told Claire to do back in Season Two, The Company probably wouldn't have found them again, as it was Noah playing spy-games with Mohinder trying to bring The Company down that allowed them to find "The Butlers" again. That's the grand irony: Claire takes after Noah in stubbornness and her sense of responsibility, even though her ethical alignment is NeutralGood with Chaotic leanings vs his TrueNeutral with Lawful leanings.

** The idea of the hymen being some membrane all women have that is ruptured the first time she has sex is actually [[YouFailBiologyForever far from the truth]]. Very, ''very'' few women have anything resembling the common idea of a hymen (if women did have it, they wouldn't be able to menstruate) and there is no barrier to breach the first time a woman has sex.

**** Yeah, Noah's real "cooperative". Just like all those filthy collaborators in WW2 were real "cooperative" with the Nazis. He's helping a flagrantly-fascist government operation hunt down innocent people and chain them up. And he's ''not'' doing this to protect his family. "Cold Wars" made it clear that he's helping Nathan because he couldn't stand normal life.

** A troper above mentioned that the "Lazarus Juice" trick would make [[DeathIsCheap death cheaper than it already is]]. However, if the writers don't like a [[GameBreaker show breaking]] piece of phlebotinum, they should never have created it in the first place!!!! [[WallBanger Urggghhh.]]

In season one, she was wearing the damn things ALL THE TIME. She wore them while jumping off towers, getting hit by cars, running into a burning train wreck, etc. It seems like if she's trying to avoid her family and everyone finding out about her powers, the constant need to replace torn, bloody and burnt uniforms would be a clue.

* Jumping off the tower and running into a burning train were the same afternoon, so only one was ruined then. One was potentially cut off by medical personnel when she got a branch in her brain. One was likely damaged when she crashed Brody's car. So three were ruined by Claire. After that she got blood all over her at homecoming, so in total four outfits were ruined. I don't think we see her wear another one after that, but if we do, she has at least five.

*** Perhaps Peter's regenerative powers would have neutralized any tranq drug in his body immediately. Ted didn't have that option. Still, it's like the writers can't make up their minds if regenerators are basically indestructible (Season 1 and 3) and can grow back whole limbs and recover from being burned to a crisp (Season 2) or get "killed" by a simply shot in the head (Season 2). In Season 1 finale, Claire wasn't even told to aim for Peter's head, plus it's damn hard to make sure a bullet goes into the brain but doesn't exit the skull again. It would be easier to just take a pumpgun and blow his whole head off pointblank, which works even for {{Highlander}}s.

*** Maybe the difference between "slowly suffocating" versus "suffocating and also having lungs scorched by burning hot air" affected with the pain level was tolerable or not? As for Meredith, I assumed she was just immune to her own powers, and the RequiredSecondaryPower's included an immunity to self-induced asphyxia.

** Wait...didn't the Carnies have a time-traveller? They could have simply traveled forward in time, seen which college Claire is going to, and enroll Becky.
