Background[]
Clare Shaw is the CEO of Shaw Medical Solutions. She took over the company after her brother was involved in corrupt practices that nearly brought the entire company down. She grounds herself in ethics and sells this stance to the media.
Wendy has a meeting with Clare and asks for a partnership between Shaw Medical Solutions and the Byrde Foundation. Wendy pitches her political landscape and how she wants a better world for pharmaceutical companies and to properly handle the opioid epidemic with proper facilities and rehabilitation centers.
Clare Shaw initially declined the funded partnership. However, Wendy introduces Clare to Marty, who gives her a gloomy overview of her company’s finances. He proposes that they offer her raw materials to make her pharmaceutical drugs (using drug dealer supplies), which will save her $300 million, and $150 million of that will fund the Byrde Foundation. It’s an offer that Clare cannot refuse, given it will save her family company.
Clare struggles with the illegality of the deal and dislikes dealing with the cartel. In Part 2 of Season 4, Javi comes to Clare's office to get company shares in his mother's name. Ruth forces Clare, Marty, and Wendy to help her lead him there and she shoots him the moment he walks into the office, to Clare's surprise. Clare has her Head of Security help clean up the body.
At the casino gala, Camila Elizonndro confronts Clare about what she knows about her son's death. Clare caves and tells her it was Ruth, which ultimately leads to Ruth's murder.
