All About

Six Feet Under

Claire

When we last saw her . . . After the cocaine-fueled opening of her photo-collage art exhibit, Claire (Lauren Ambrose) wound up in a nasty fight with drippy ex Russell (Ben Foster) — and a steamy embrace with Brenda's brother, Billy (Jeremy Sisto), who also happens to be her professor.

Burning questions Is Claire about to conquer the L.A. hipster scene, or is she on her way to being just another art-school dropout? Do any of her season 4 suitors — Russell, Billy, Edie (Mena Suvari), or Jimmy (Peter Facinelli) — stand a chance? And could her battered green hearse be due for a visit from the Automotive Grim Reaper?

Interest level 8: With her increasing reliance on drugs, and ill-advised dalliance with the unpredictable Billy, we're more worried about (and intrigued by) Claire than ever.
