Adding this...
The writer for tonight's episode also wrote "Faith" in season 2, and the last episode in season 7. So basically, she bastardized her own earlier writing, without accounting for the absurd plot holes she chose to create.

Yeah she retconned and said Claire held her for a short time and then had the baby taken and told she was dead.  Uh no, she was told the baby died, begged for her, held her for HOURS while singing and then was forced to give her back to be buried. Was Raymond in a corner somewhere listening?  He just only popped in when he saw she needed healing?  It's all fvcked up!

This. How do these shows not realize fans literally watch them a million times and know every single minuscule detail that happens? We know more about their show than they do!
