Shawn reads the Christmas Story in this episode for the first time, dedicating it to baby Claire.
-
Lexie is upset because the blood bank at the hospital doesn't have any blood available to donate to Claire. Since Claire is AB- (
Ep. #10196), she could accept blood from AB-, A- (Belle), B- (Shawn) or O- donors. It is unlikely that the blood bank would be completely out of suitable blood. Even if the hospital was low, Bo's blood type is O- (
Ep. #9985), and he would have been more than able to donate to Claire.
-
Since Belle's is A- and Claire's is AB-, Shawn's blood type must be either AB+, AB-, B+ or B-.
