That whole discussion of Henry is great. I think that's exactly right: both Henry and Philip want a better relationship than they have, but they don't have an honest base to start from so it's getting increasingly difficult. Whereas with Paige, they DO have something solid to base it on.
"Crossbreed" obviously on one level refers to the wheat, but on another I think it refers to Henry. Henry is weirdly in the middle: he is a Jennings but he's also the one who doesn't know anything about what that means, he has secrets but doesn't realise his family have them too, he was spending so much time at the Beemans' it was like that was his home too. He's literally a mix of Russian genes and American culture even though he doesn't know it.
