Ultimately, it doesn't matter how we feel or what we think the right course of action was or how okay this one was, it matters what Claire (and Marten) think and feel. And it's pretty dang obvious they feel, at least at this time, like Clinton did the wrong thing. Both were shocked, and Claire is fighting a panic attack.

Near Lurker:
I kind of hope Clinton is never mentioned again, and in a few days we see the interns happily cleaning something red off the stacks...

Like Sara.

Welcome to the forum! Feel free to introduce yourself up in the Welcome section, if you're inclined.

Smallest:
Poor Claire. The first panel broke my heart, and she's not a character I'm even too emotionally invested in.

"Am I the only one that noticed that the Ativan bottle is empty?"

Regarding this. Ativan are tiny, so it might just be that it's not pictured through the coloured plastic. They also often only give small doses, because of the fact that ativan dependencies are really easy to develop (my doctor says within a week), so perhaps she just took the last or only one or two tiny pills are left. If you haven't seen them, they are smaller than coloured pinheads, maybe 1.5mm in diameter.

I think the idea of her being addicted is unlikely to be Jeph's motive in drawing that, seeing as it's fairly reasonable that she's out of pills or that they're a pain to draw, and also that in the relatively small amount of Claire we have seen, there haven't been many hints toward it. Since she's transitioning, this is probably exactly the sort of situation she was prescribed it for (as well as potentially outing situations, coming out to parents/brother way back when, etc).

What makes me really curious here is whether she takes the ativan to calm down and collect herself or whether her anxiety attacks snowball worse and worse until she melts down/passes out/disassociates/gets hysterical. I think it's more likely to be the first (calm her down so she can get on with life) since Hanners is already in the strip and does two or three of those.

DSL:
My blood pressure med would be packaged with a month's worth of pills rattling around in the bottom of a vial that was mostly empty space on the inside. When I switched to mail-order meds with three months' worth arriving at a time, I figured I'd get full vials. Instead I got bigger bottles full of even more air. Rattle rattle rattle. I told the prescription people I had plenty of air and didn't need to have any more shipped to me, especially since it went toward my deductible, but that went about as far you you might imagine.
