I just finished washing a pile of FB prints and realized that I forgot the HCA step beforehand. Some were selenium-toned. I washed them in a vertical print washer for half an hour. Do I need to go back and do the HCA step?

Do not need to do the HCA but you may want to wash longer than 1/2 hour so I would put them back in the washer for piece of mind.
 
The Selenium toning complicates the question a bit. But generally, I agree with Bob about this.

+1 I wash for a min of 1 hr even after using HCA. I'd go ahead and wash them for another hour. L
