Claire is dead… or not?
When Christian first walked off with Claire, I read someone’s mini-theory that Claire was dead. Sawyer didn’t actually save her from the exploding house. She died there, but she accompanied them until Christian, er, shepherded her away.
Seeing her in Jacob’s cabin with that goofy look on her face? I can buy that theory now. Although I think it’s more likely that she was still alive when Sawyer got her, but she later died of her injuries… in her sleep. She didn’t really “wake up” to find Christian there, so much as she… passed over to the other side.
Why else would she have left Aaron? She’s always been so protective of her baby. And here she is, skulking in a dark, mysterious moving cabin with her dead father. Smiling. And oh, don’t tell anyone she’s there. They wouldn’t get it.
She’s gotta be dead.

If Claire was dead, then how could she be holding Aaron while in the jungle with Sawyer and ..whats his face? I like the theory, though, I’m not sure.

Ghosts seem to be able to do a number of things on the Island. Hurley’s imaginary buddy Dave threw a shoe at him. Dead Charlie smacked Hurley in the head - and that was off-island.
Kristen from EW noted a coversation that Claire and Miles had had in last week’s episode. It was something to the effect of “I’m not badly hurt… I’ll live.” And Miles replied, “I wouldn’t be so sure about that.” Maybe because he can communicate with ghosts and knows that she’s already dead?
