I feel like they really didn't think the whole 'Claire finds the cult symbol and blackmails Whele' thing through, because it makes Claire look like a complete idiot. If she actually thinks that Whele is part of that cult then she knows that the second most powerful man in the city, who is literally responsible for an angel attack already, is working with Gabriel to ultimately kill all of humanity. That's not a little secret you keep in your back pocket to save your dad's job, that's some serious poo poo that you scream to anyone who will listen. Instead the show's just playing it off like it's a series of ~whacky coincidences~ that she found the scarf or whatever it is in his locker, as if they're some naughty photos of him.
