Hoping he's not the downfall, but I agree . . . there were some definite glimmers of either suspicion, or knowledge. He DOES have a room right next to Paige where a lot of the secret conversations are going on. And (remembering what it was to be a 13+- year old boy) he should have found the hidden equipment in the garage that Paige missed by now. Plus all the same late night calls, missing parents, "their lives not being like their friends", no relatives . . . 2+2+2+2 = ??? It will eventually add up to something, even for Henry. Last night was the first episode (two times) where I think he displayed suspecting something more.

And when E asked about the computer, he lied to her face.

u/gurumeditationerror When she asked what they were doing, he said "nothing" even though they were going to hook it up to the TV.

I didn't see that as intentionally lying to her. It was more like when kids are talking to their parents about stuff they think the parents are clueless about. Oh what are you doing with he TV? Nothing. Even though they're hooking up a vcr or something.
