Claire Williams

Claire Williams is the ex-girlfriend of Allison Robin Brown, Teddy's best friend and former girlfriend.
==History==
===Allison's Death===
Claire was living in an apartment in New York with Allison, who one day came home and told her she had found a perfect roommate, Teddy Altman, whom she had almost run into with her bike earlier that day. Claire was glad to hear that Teddy was not a lesbian. Before Teddy moved in, Allison had Claire promise she wouldn't like Teddy better than her since Teddy, like Claire, was also a surgeon at Columbia University Medical Center. Some time after Teddy moved in, Claire began suspecting that there was something going on between Teddy and Allison. She never told either of them of her suspicions.
On September 11, 2001, Claire and Teddy saw on the news that the World Trade Center had been struck by planes hijacked by terrorists. Allison was killed as she was working in the South Tower at the time. Claire broke down in Teddy's arms. She tried to process her grief by trying to get an idea of Allison's final minutes had been like, if she had been in pain. She requested Allison's phone logs, which revealed that at 8:57 AM, Allison had tried to call Teddy and no one else, which proved to Claire that she and Teddy had been having an affair.
===Moving===
Shortly after, Claire quit her job and left New York City as she felt too much grief there. She met her future wife Clara and they settled down in Clara's hometown in North Carolina, where they started a small practice together.
===Conference===
Nearly 20 years after Allison's death, Claire ended up at the Surgical Innovation Conference and found Teddy there. They talked about Allison and Claire admitted that she knew that she and Teddy had been together behind her back. She initially seemed upset about it, but later told Teddy she'd forgiven her. Teddy then explained that Allison was in love with both of them at the same time, which she didn't believe was possible at the time but later came to understand.
