Will this be remembered as the "Where's Henry?" season?


It seems to be the main theme of Season 5. The parents walk in the house, see Paige and ask, "Where's Henry?" Nobody is really sure and nobody really cares.

Obviously they don't give a shit about the poor kid. I hope they explore the irony of a Russian kid in America hating it so much he was coerced into attempting suicide while the lowlife spies are doing something much worse to Henry.

The biggest smack in the face to Henry is something of which he was blissfully unaware... his parents found a new Henry and lovingly doted all over his Asian ass.

One of the best parts of the season was when that little Asian douchebag said he reported them for bungling the mission due to their bourgeois incompetence.

When Elizabeth says "I wish we could take him with us" (meaning Tuan) and then the ungrateful little brat narced them out. Even after that she still was concerned about him and told him to ask for a girlfriend to be assigned to him.
Tuan is ice cold, even when he saw all the blood he could not fake-cry for his 'friend' or anything. Don't they teach spies how to fake-cry?

I hope since they are staying now, that they let Henry go to the school.
Henry really became the reverse Pasha. They never gave a shit about Henry all season and now insist on dragging him with them in some sudden "keep the family together" bullshit.

Even though Henry never was developed much, I liked the Stan Henry relationship. The kid finally has something of a goal and Phil shits on it. Henry is 100% American kid and in the 80's that was REALLY pro America. Like you said, they never gave a shit about him but want to force him to go live in a place he will hate and can never leave. Phil and Liz were always loathsome but that has made them even worse.

It reminds me of "Where's Carl" from season 1 of The Walking Dead. Every episode... Where's Carl?
Lori, you had one job, to watch Carl...
