I think it's very clear that Claire isn't doing such a great job in her quest to become heroic without making one of the few female characters with agency into a damsel in distress.
See, I'm withholding judgment here because I think this is a set-up so Claire gets to rescue Meredith, with or without Sandra, but definitely without Noah. If that's so, it would be a neat reversal to all the parent figures (safe Nathan) insisting on her need for protection, etc. If on the other hand Noah saves Meredith, or if Meredith dies, I'll be all grrrr, arggh.
Nathan and experimentation: aaaaand we're back again at your old idea of a time-travelling Hiro trying out to find out what the Company did meeting child!Nathan getting traumatized for life. Because while the triplets probably were experimented on as babies - and are years younger than Nathan, so by then the technique was more advanced, Nathan must at least have been two or three years old, if the comics are in any ways canon (i.e. if Arthur didn't reconnect with Linderman, leading to Adam, leading to Company and experiments etc.) - old enough to have some very basic memories. This was years before the Haitian could provide mindwipes.
I'm sure if she had had a bit of time to think about it, she would have refrained
You do have a point, and she didn't appear to be suicidal anymore the morning after. And held her own against Angela, which really does her credit.
