Henry theory

Posted: May 20, 2009 5:33 pm

Ok so, the finale is done, everything is pretty much tied up, so let the speculation for Season 8 begin. I have a theory on what is going to happen with Henry.

It was pretty obvious from the way Henry acted that he was very angry with Allison. I think Henry is going to leave her and possibly want revenge for destroying her family (from his point of view). I'm thinking maybe they will try to turn Henry into a Sherry Palmer type character and he will try to bring Allison's presidency down. Now yes the writers have done this before and they SAID they were going to do things differently, but I doubt that (not complaining) and so I think if this happened I wouldn't mind this plot since I liked Sherry's plot, even though I hated her.

Here is a scenario I can see happening:

Henry divorces Allison, he wants revenge. He finds out about Tony and this conspiracy and then finds ANOTHER lead to Charles Logan and his dealings. Henry breaks Tony out of prison with his White House credentials and offers Tony information in return for helping him take down Allison. Tony agrees because he wants to finish what he started.

This should be an assassination season like Season 1, except it's Tony trying to kill Allison. Maybe Allison will have a conference in New York and Jack along with CTU: NY finds out about a possible planned assassination of President Taylor.

Anyway....it's a shot in the dark but I would really like this plot line if it happened.

Interesting theory. I'd like for something similar to that to happen, too. I always love political back-stabbing in TV shows (though I hate it in real-life). I don't know if they'll do something like that, but the writers definitely had Henry and Allison collide for a reason. Chances are, they're planning on going forward somehow with it as a sub-plot.

Also, almost any plot that gets the Logans back in the mix, I like.
