I realize it's been a looooong time since the first season, but it
always seemed to me that the "prophesy" (if, indeed, the guy was
actually telling the truth in this case) was always more about Aaron's
safety and happiness than anything else.
Richard This child parented by anyone else, anyone other than you...
danger surrounds this baby...
Claire Danger?
Richard Your nature, your spirit, your goodness, must be an influence
in the development of this child.
Claire Look... if... if Thomas and I don't, ya know, get back together
I... I'm putting this baby up for adoption. I just wanted to find out
what would give the baby the happiest life.
Richard There is no happy life. Not for this child, not without you.
Claire I don't give it...
Richard It can't be another. You mustn't allow another to raise your
baby.
Claire Okay, great. Thanks for taking my 200.
Richard Oh, no look, take it. Ms. Littleton, I am begging you just to
consider...
Claire I can't raise this child by myself.
Richard You have to listen to me.
Claire Ok. Thanks for you time and my money back.
Richard Ms. Littleton, please. The baby needs your protection. Ms.
Littleton, please!
But, of course, later in the episode, he gets her on that plane to LA,
so something obviously happened to change his mind...
