Henry


Henry was barely even in this episode tonight but the rest of them were talking about him a lot. 'Where is Henry?'
' Who is he on the phone with all the time?'
Do you think there is some darker plot with him? Do you think he knows what Phillip and Elizabeth are doing?

reply

I don't remember Henry on much - he sure did shoot up, tall as Phillip. I didn't watch last season, was he on a lot? If he wasn't and mostly on the sidelines - maybe they are building his character with a story?

Paige "knows" what her parents really do, maybe Henry will find out soon.

reply

Yes I think Henry has been ignored so much with the parents spending all this time with Paige, they haven't given him much thought. But there also has been a lot more talk in the house about what they do, both talking to Paige and the two parents discussing what to do about Paige, and I think Henry overheard it or something.
Henry's definitely got some kind of secret. He's on the phone all the time and the parents don't even know who he's talking to. They don't know any of his friends. He just kind of looks after himself. For spies, they are pretty clueless about what their own child has been up to!

Henry has been missing for so long, and there's been so much emphasis on Paige's story, that I've been wondering if Henry may be making some discoveries of his own soon. When they finally showed a scene with him in it, I was shocked to realize how much more mature he looks. I wouldn't be surprised at all with the more they focus on Paige, that Henry will soon be a new issue to worry about.

reply

Yes, and they are overworked at this point with all the traveling, their attention is always on something else. So Henry could be up to something right under their noses. He could be on drugs, he could be having an affair with an adult, all kinds of things. They say he's playing computer games all the time... at this time period the games were very simple and you couldn't really chat with other players, there was no internet. If it was a modern day setting I would wonder who he was talking to online.
I wonder why they don't just tap their own home phone, it's not like the kid has his own cell phone. He's using the family landline.

reply

They do tap their own home phone, that's how Elizabeth found out that Paige ratted them out to a friendly neigboorhood Pastor Tim.

reply

Then why do they keep saying they don't know who he's talking to on the phone?

The teaser for next week shows Phillip and Elizabeth grabbing Henry and interrogating him (where were you? Who were you with?) and they are in their pilot and stewardess disguises. Henry sees them in wigs and disguises. Something BIG is going to happen with Henry next week! He's been so under the radar and the parents ignore him but I think he's up to something.

reply

From the plot for next week "Philip and Elizabeth are thrown off balance when things with Tuan take an unexpected turn; Henry makes a startling proposition; Stan has a disturbing encounter with Frank Gaad's widow."

reply

I guess I was not watching closely enough to the teaser. It's about time Henry gets some kind of a storyline. He's been useless up to now.

reply

That wasn't Henry they were interrogating. It was tuan.
