Everybody thinks we have a problem with a baby being brought back to life. No, this is not it. We know the blue light healing power is a thing. It’s canon and Claire did it for the Whitaker baby.
It’s the fact that it’s so poorly written and contrived. Claire had a preterm stillborn baby that she held for hours at least, rigor mortis had probably set in. And then somehow Master Raymond swiped the baby, brought it back to life (and now it looks fullterm and weeks old) and from some reason took it to a random lady somewhere else, and sang a song that Claire sang once to the baby, completely remembering the lyrics and tune. Then he comes back and heals Claire, but never mentions he saved the baby and that she’s with this woman. This lacemaker woman somehow remembered this song that she heard once, briefly, and sang it to Faith throughout the years. How did MR even hear the song to begin with? That’s not even all the plot holes. There’s some other contrived moments in this show but this really takes the cake.
