8. How Will Henry Fit Into Things Now?

After a brief stint away, Henry Allen is back in Central City for good now, and is reunited with his son in this episode.

Exactly what role he'll fulfil is unclear though. Barry already has one father figure in Joe, and in a less obvious way another one in Harry Wells. Obviously neither are a proper replacement for his actual father, but it does mean he doesn't have an obvious place. His skills as a doctor do come in handy in STAR Labs, but that's only for as long as Caitlin is away. So is he just going to be in the background of Barry's life, occasionally dropping in with fatherly advice, or will he find a bigger role on the show?

Or...are they going to kill him off?
