So I finished this mission by convincing Claire to spare Sampson, and she gifted me Beast, like in aaaall my other playthroughs. This time tho, instead of driving away as soon as Claire gets out of the car, I followed her to her garage. To be quite honest I can't remember if her laptop was there the first time we visit it, but I noticed it as soon as I walked in and decided to take a peek (Claire just decides to sit on he couch and then she shuts the garage down behind you after you leave)
So I think sparing Sampson is the best option. You can see Claire even wanted to convince Dean to let it go before rage possessed her. And like Sampson said, Dean wasn't that great of a husband. Not only would he bury himself in work so much that he couldn't even holocall Claire for days, he also didn't wanna let go of his jealousy towards Sampson even when she asked him to, which eventually lead him to his death.
