2. Why Has Henry Allen Left Again?
Henry Allen surprisingly left almost immediately after his release from prison, because Barry needed to focus on being the Flash. However, that reason doesn't really hold up, because he's brought back this week when Barry is struggling to deal with not having his powers, and he proves to be the father that even Joe cannot be to Barry. Clearly, then, there is a need for Henry Allen in Barry's life, especially if he's to balance being Barry and being Flash. With the events of this episode you'd think both characters would realise that, but once again Henry takes off at the first available opportunity. Why is he so keen to be away from his son?
