not-Henry is so a not-Other. I was firmly convinced of his Otherness right up until the end of the episode, when his Potentially Complicated And Dark Past was revealed. Up until this point, I was only thinking of two options. Either he was telling the truth, or he was an Other. And he was clearly not telling the truth.

Is an Iraqi. IRONY, eh?
