Screen Rant has an exclusive clip from season 14 of Archer, confirming the return of beloved recurring character Barry. Voiced by Aqua Teen Hunger Force co-creator Dave Willis, Barry Dylan has had a unique storyline throughout the show. He initially worked at a rival agency to Archer's ISIS, but was then transformed into a cyborg by the KGB. He ultimately became a main antagonist to Archer. Despite their troubled past, Archer and Barry reconcile after Barry attends therapy, though complications arise due to Barry's alternate personality, "Other Barry." In anticipation of the upcoming episode, we present this exclusive clip from Archer season 14.

What Barry's Return Could Mean For Archer Season 14

In the video above, we witness Archer in his usual work setting, slyly boasting about enjoying a smoothie while conveniently forgetting to bring one for everyone else. The workplace banter takes an unexpected turn when a delivery person arrives with a package, and amidst the group's deliberation on what to do, Barry's voice emerges from inside the box, urgently pleading for it not to be blown up and requesting assistance as his energy levels are dwindling.

In Archer season 12, Barry was last seen after being acquired by the International Intelligence Agency (IIA) and joining forces with Fabian, portrayed by Kayvan Novak. Interestingly, it was unveiled that Barry's body was under the control of "Other Barry" following a resurrection initiated by Fabian's attempt to hack his central processor. In an intense sequence, Barry is repeatedly tackled by Archer and his companions during their escape bid. Eventually, Barry discloses that a hard reboot could subdue "Other Barry" once more. With the collective efforts of Archer, Colt, and Krieger, they successfully stun him, leading to Archer eventually rescuing him from the debris of the IIA headquarters.

Barry's return in season 14 of Archer will likely be a pleasant surprise for loyal fans considering his close relationship with the main character. The reason for his arrival and his motivation for seeking Archer's help remains unknown. It is worth noting that "Other Barry" has successfully deceived the group in the past, posing as a friendlier version. Moreover, the fact that Barry arrives in a smaller box suggests that he may have been disassembled, potentially leading to a quest to find and reassemble him.

Another possibility for Barry's arrival in a box is that he is on the run and had to find a discreet way to travel by disassembling himself. Given his problematic history with the group and Lana's discerning nature when it comes to missions for the new agency, it will be interesting to see if Lana willingly aids Barry or if Archer must go against the rules to assist his friend.

New episodes of Archer season 14 air Wednesdays at 10pm ET on FXX and are available to stream the next day on Hulu.
