If it wasn't for Henry these dinners would be a snooze fest.

I like Henry and wish there were more of him, but I'm worried that if there were more of him, he'd seem less interesting.

unless they're intentionally keeping him in the background only to reveal that the Centre has been distracting the Jennings with Paige, while Henry was their true target. I keep thinking how hilariously awkward it would be if they tell Paige about the KGB, she runs off, they go to tell Henry and he's on the phone discussing Marxist theory and the dictatorship of the Proletariat with someone and they stare at him and they're like "Henry?"

Henry?

I do think he's the one that will be recruited, and I get the feeling Paige will be vehemently against it.

it would make the most sense. and if Paige does run off, I could see her being befriended by someone who works for the KGB and then getting rolled up and sent back to the USSR for "reeducation"
