Re: I found this
Here's the theory I have held about the psychic since watching season 1, and I think it's coming closer to being proven true (especially after '?'):
When Claire goes to give her baby to the first couple, the lawyer explains that she will be given $20k (in addition to hospital bills being paid) once she is discharged from the hospital. She goes to sign the paper, the pens don't work, and she takes that as a sign to see what the psychic wanted. He keeps telling her to keep the baby while he calls around trying to find somebody outside the country (for legal reasons) willing to pay $20k+ for it. He finds a couple in LA, and he sets up the deal. In the episode, you see the psychic offer Claire $12k to go through with the LA couple deal - $6k now and $6k when she arrives in LA. He shells out $12k plus travel expenses so that he will get the $20k after she gets out of the hospital. Profit to the psychic: $8k.
