The way he hugged Claire was so precious!! You can really tell how much Shaun actually cares for her.

Other than Glassman, Claire was the first one to believe in Shaun. Shaun loved her and was sad when she left. She meant a lot to him.

the joy radiating from "it's Claire!"

I tear up every time witnessing how excited Shaun gets when he sees her. He recognized her voice instantly. The way he turns to find her makes my heart melt.

Claire is like a sister to Shaun and you can see the emotions coming out from Shaun and the way he hugs her

Who's cutting onions? I knew she was coming back for a guest appearance, but it still got me!

They definitely didn’t know Antonia was coming back! Their reactions are so genuine, it’s adorable. I just love seeing how excited Shaun was to see her because it shows how much they’ve grown as friends. I got emotional ngl

I wish Dr. Melendez be there for them to complete them completely. Miss him always in the good doctor.

Dr Lim's reaction when she wanted to hug Claire❤
These two were really close friends and really cared for one another

The way I cried when he goes “it’s Claire”!! The excitement!!

[Snow-dvqr]

Her return for two(?) episodes is not a surprise but it's still so good 😍 and Shaun's little jumps when he saw Claire (I know Shaun often does that when he's happy but still) this is so cute 🥹 I always love their friendship ❤️

[FierceVanessa]

This made me cry ....I love and miss Claire so much on this show ..her compassion for others and her relationship with Shaun. 💜

[africanbella]

Looking back at the beginning when Shaun was quiet shy little boy who likes apples he’s only comfort was his toy scalpel his brother Steve gave him his only friend was Dr. Glassman who enjoyed going for pancakes together. Look at him now our boy Shaun has come along way he has a promising career he’s happily in love with a wonderful woman name Lea he has great friends who loves him just the way he is. He has Lea, Aaron, Lim, Marcus, Morgan, Alex, Asher, Jordan and lastly and certainly not the least Claire girl I miss you I’m glad your back. Shaun and Lea couldn’t get a better wedding present than a return of a good friend💙🦋🥲
