The last we saw of spy-turned-cyberpsycho Barry Dylan, he was pulling strings to humiliate the ISIS agents in the episode Live and Let Dine. Barry was allegedly responsible for shelling out six million dollars (which, yknow, couldve built a new bionic man, but whatever) just to make Team ISIS look inept in front of 2.8m viewers of Lance Casteaus B*stard Chef. While one of Season 4s funniest episodes, the action of Live and Let Dine seemed like small potatoes compared to the sort of carnage Barry usually wreaks when pursuing his arch-nemesis. The calibre of his masterplans have been much higher than mere restaurant tomfoolery, so heres hoping that his eyes are set for more explosive horizons next. What can we expect from the Barry of future seasons? Hes currently weathering a shaky relationship with fellow cyborg Katya Kasanova; their affair having turned sour since Barry flouted Katyas plea that he stops chasing down Archer. Also, shes now taken over the KGB, so Barrys authority in their relationship has been severely tempered. Whatever he attempts next, hell be doing so with a frosty Katya in tow, but there may also be room for some sort of Khan-esque revenge ploy, as a means of penance for when Archer left the crazed cyborg stranded in space. Here's hoping the warped relationship between Archer, Katya and Barry (and Other Barry) becomes even more twisted as time goes on, and that Kriegers dreams of an epic robot fight between Barry and Ray can be realised at last. Which leads to the next big question
