I'm on Tivo delay, but the Degree sponsorship is almost too much.

Henry!!!
you're back!
And, seriously, Eva was influenced to release him after seeing how important he was to Carter? So not what I was expecting from her, and so am now totally confused about her. (Which, by the by, was totally, again, heartbreaking. Theirs is the greatest man-love to ever be loved by men. I mean that in the most platonic and greatest of friendships way, without any slashy over/undertones. Unlike Turk and JD).

Glad to have Henry back. The sponsorship sucks ass. And are we supposed to understand the implications of the movie Frances Fisher was watching, apart from "atomic bomb explodes in Eureka in the '39"? I mean, I get why that would be significant, but should we understand WHY it's so significant?
Also, the lack of Zane at the restaurant + Jo's big hug of Henry = gives me hope my big shipper desire may come to pass. Please?

Jo/Henry, Frank? thought never crossed my mind. If so, eeenteresting, and I'll have to think about that, but my gut reaction is a mild No. Gung-ho Jo plus angsty Henry just adds up to no-fun in my book. Whereas I'm almost on board for Fargo/Jo. I think Henry needs to angst awhile. Someonde like Kim I'd think it would take a while to move past.
Or else this is totally not what you meant and I've wasted a whole paragraph as to why not what you didn't mean.

"atomic bomb explodes in Eureka in the '39"?
Because it's about 6 years too early? The first atomic bomb wasn't exploded until June of 1945.

Jo/Henry, Frank?
I'll admit, it first crossed my mind during the first season, when Henry was the antithesis of angsty (at least until the very end) and Jo was getting it on with Taggart. But I haven't been able to let it go. However, as (I think) ita pointed out when I first suggested it, if they ever got together and reproduced, their kids would take over the world.
Of course, there are some interesting possibilities there as well...

See, if they'd had scenes between Carter and Allison at any point in the first two seasons half as romantic as that sunset moment, I'd have been rooting for them as a couple.
