Season 8 - Biography
In Season 8 of Degrassi, Clare is a new freshman in the gifted class, along with Alli Bhandari, K.C. Guthrie, and Connor Deslauriers. She transferred from a private Christian school and is now attending Degrassi, along with her older sister, Darcy. Clare wore her uniform to school every day because she didn't care what other people thought of her, and only had a desire to learn at Degrassi.

In Uptown Girl (2), in order to prove that she doesn't care what other people think, K.C. dares her to do a talent in front of the whole cafeteria. She sings a hymn, but she is mortified when people start booing and throwing food at her. K.C. later apologizes, saying it's normal to care what other people think, and begins to show a romantic interest in her.

Clare is taken to the principal's office, and she shocks her mother by saying it is hers. Clare's mom demands she tell her why she is using it. Clare says she isn't, and her mom does not want to talk to her until she goes home. Later, her mother apologizes, and asks Clare if she has any questions. The next day, Clare and Alli discuss what happened, and Holly J insults Clare about it. However, Clare comes back with a witty reply, causing Alli to break out in giggles, and Holly J to scoff and walk off.

In Lost in Love, both K.C. and Connor ask her to the Sweetheart Dance. The two boys start fighting over Clare, only to have her deny them both. Later on, she regrets this decision and decides to go with K.C., making Connor feel rejected. Connor then comes up with a way to burden Clare into going with him, and Clare reluctantly agrees. At the dance, Connor forces Clare on the dance floor. She leaves after feeling uncomfortable with him. On her way out, she bumps into K.C., who asks her to dance with him. She agrees and they dance comfortably for awhile. However, the moment is short lived when Connor barges in. He storms off in fury and Clare follows. Later on, Clare finds K.C. and tells him she's not ready for a relationship. K.C. accepts her answer.

In Causing a Commotion, Clare is surprised by Connor's strange behavior, but sticks by him anyway. She starts to protest against The Shep, who expelled Connor, although knowing he has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. K.C. and Alli mistakenly film her talking to the Shep about letting Connor back into Degrassi; they decide to air The Shep calling Clare a bitch, and they show it to the school at The Shep's ceremony for Principal of the Year. The Shep is sent to sensitivity training, for numerous reasons. Much to Clare's pleasure, Connor is let back into Degrassi. Because of their contradicting beliefs about Connor and Clare's fear of being judged, Alli and Clare both went their separate ways.

In Heart of Glass, we only see Clare a few times - in the beginning, being doubtful of what Alli wants to do and trying to talk her out of it, and afterward, being supportive and helpful.

In Danger Zone, things between K.C. and Clare are still rocky. K.C assumes that Clare would judge him, so fueled by his hurt feelings he initiates fights with Clare about his past. Connor is puzzled by the fighting, and when prompted by Alli to fix it, invites Clare and K.C over without either of them aware of the other's attendance. He attempts to repair their relationship by locking them in his basement/room, which doesn't go over well. K.C flees the house. Clare is next seen at the black and white dance talking to Connor about K.C. She feels hurt and questions why he is still acting like an idiot. Connor responds by telling her than K.C. likes her. Clare finally realizes how much K.C cares for her, and gets Connor to lock him in a room with her again. K.C initially thinks Connor planned it all out, but Clare explains that this time it was her idea. She then goes on to say that she understand why they are always fighting, she explains that they were afraid that if they stopped they would kiss. Except instead of saying the word "kiss", she actually tries to kiss him. K.C rejects the kiss, and Clare, thinking that she had it all wrong attempts to leave the room, close to tears. K.C stops her just in time and tells her she was right. They finally share their first kiss, promoting the start of their relationship.
