Henry’s time traveling creates many issues for him, but it also gives him knowledge about the future he can use to make his life somewhat easier to navigate. Knowing that Gomez will be key to his survival (though Henry doesn’t reveal the specifics of this just yet) allows Henry to strategically ingratiate him to Gomez now. It also seems like a step in the right direction that Henry shares the truth about his condition with Gomez—it means he has one more person he can be himself around without having to make up a story to explain his bizarre absences. This might help him to feel more in the moment, something he desperately needs. The fact of Ingrid’s eventual suicide is troubling and suggests that, though Henry’s time traveling alienates him from most others, his behavior still affects others.
