Umbrella Academy season 3

The Umbrella Academy season 3 ending explained: Who loses their powers? What happened to Luther? Why is Ben on a train? And what has Sir Reginald Hargreeves ...

Alternatively, it might be the case that this is another Ben. Given how calm and blended in to his surroundings he is, this Ben doesn’t resemble the brash, loud Sparrow version of Ben at all. This time, however, it really is her daughter Claire up in the bedroom – and bizarrely, her 1960s husband Ray is also present, apparently living with them both in 2019. Five of the Sparrows end up killed or Kugelblitzed before the end of season three, while Luther (Tom Hopper) marries Sloane (Genesis Rodriguez) only for Sir Reginald to murder him and Klaus (Robert Sheehan), framing their deaths as a consequence of the Hotel Oblivion's Guardians and the end of the universe respectively. The process is painful and disfiguring for the Hargreeves children, and eventually Allison kills Sir Reginald to stop it. Also changed, it emerges that the mothers of the Umbrellas died before giving birth to them in this timeline, thanks to an accidental psychic attack by Harlan, a boy given abilities by Viktor (Elliot Page) in the 1960s as well. We’ve broken down all the main points of season 3's finale, what it could mean for season 4 and what’s going on in that post-credits scene below.

Kate Walsh was a staple across the first two seasons of The Umbrella Academy as The Handler, but does she return in season 3?

Sound off in the comments! Sadly, it looks like we’ve seen the last of The Handler as Kate Walsh does not return for The Umbrella Academy season 3 and has gone on the record as stating she has no current plans to come back to the series. Are you disappointed Kate Walsh did not return as The Handler in season 3 of The Umbrella Academy? Would you like to see The Handler return down the line?

As the episode ends, the blob sends a shockwave across the city, apparently obliterating both Marcus and one very cute dog at the Hotel Obsidian. After all, what would a new season of The Umbrella Academy be without another apocalyptic threat? For now, at least, open warfare doesn’t serve anybody, which is good news for anyone who wants to know more about the Sparrows than their superpowers (and good news for Netflix’s stunt budget because that opening fight looked expensive). It’s Vanya, with characteristic pragmatism, that negotiates a détente. When Marcus comes in with threats, Vanya offers a calm but firm reply: “I don’t think you’re better than me, Marcus. I ended the world twice. But as fun as it is to watch this family bicker, the Sparrows still pose a threat. This is an ideal location for characters like Five and Diego to argue about what they should do next and for Allison and Vanya to swap memories and sympathies about the lovers they left behind in 1963. And while the Umbrellas put up a decent fight, they’re no match for the Sparrows. When the dust settles, our heroes run away to lick their wounds, leaving their very useful time-travel briefcase behind.

Umbrella Academy season 3 incorporates Elliot Page's — and therefore Viktor's — transition seamlessly into the show's ongoing narrative.

It would have been far too easy for the writers to just rely on fantastical, sci-fi tropes that could explain away Viktor's transition without creating direct parallels to trans experiences in real life. And the smile that beams across his face here feels so authentic in a way that few other shows could possibly hope to emulate. Just like gay stories can't all end with suffering, it could be argued that the same must be true for trans storytelling as well. Knowing that Elliot has gone through this same journey himself in real life, it feels as though he is also trusting the viewers with some insight into his own experience too. So when Number Seven walks into a male hairdressers and decides to cut his hair short in episode two, it doesn't feel like something that's been forced on to the character out of nowhere. although, to be fair, Viktor points out that she couldn't have known because he didn't know himself, not fully:

Anyway, it all culminates in the Sparrows showing up at Hotel Obsidian, ready to attack the Umbrella members for, they think, kidnapping Marcus. (They don’t know about the Kugelblitz.) All of a sudden, a mysterious man who’s been shown at random intervals throughout the episodes defends them, burning a few Sparrows to a crisp. Allison ( Emmy Raver-Lampman) has now suffered a major loss with every timeline jump—her daughter in the first, and her husband in the second. In Episode 3 they discover this is a “Kugelblitz,” a series of interconnected collapsing dark holes that materialized as a result of them being in a timeline where they were never meant to exist. (At least Five and Klaus got to go on a fun road trip in Episode 2 to try and find Klaus’ Amish mom, though!) And even though Viktor manages to make a deal with their Number One, Marcus ( Justin Cornwell), to retrieve the briefcase, he’s never able to hand it over…because Marcus is sucked into a mysterious glowing orb that’s materialized in the Sparrow Academy’s basement. They’re all set with a new base of operations, and everything’s fine enough on the surface that Five (Aidan Gallagher) is considering retiring. To be fair, this is a show known for going a little (or a lot) crazy—we’ve already had talking monkey butlers, a robot mom, a mannequin girlfriend, and a main character becoming a cult leader.

Umbrella Academy's Season 3 finale was full of surprises. What happened to Allison, Luther, Diego, Viktor, Five, Sloane, Ben, and Klaus in the final ...

The sigil features seven stars, and Reginald instructs seven of the Hargreeves children to stand on the markers. After all, Klaus suggests earlier in the episode that heaven looks different for everyone, and Allison has made it clear that her life is nothing without Claire and Ray. Only time will tell what has really happened to Allison, though, as anything can happen in The Umbrella Academy. Then her husband from the 1960s, Ray, appears in the doorway and says, "It's where you were always meant to be." Justifying the fact that "he's killing them," Reginald tells Allison, "Everything in life has a price." A red button appears on the screen, and despite her family begging her not to, Allison presses it. Seeing his anatomy, it's revealed that Reginald isn't human (something viewers already knew), and he falls to the floor dead. Luther tries to convince Klaus to return to save the rest of their family. Ghost Luther berates his father for leaving him on the moon for so long, and then killing him. In this timeline, Reginald adopted a completely different group of children, with Ben being the only member of both groups. Here's what happened in The Umbrella Academy's season 3 finale. Much of the drama takes place inside Hotel Obsidian, where the original Hargreeves siblings stay after finding themselves in a timeline in which they don't exist. Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy includes a plethora of WTF moments, but the finale really takes the cake.

Prior to this, at the end of episode 9, Reginald kills Luther (Tom Hopper) in an attempt to bring the family together. Later, Reginald then stops Klaus (Robert ...

And for more on the Hargreeves, see our piece on The Umbrella Academy season 3 timeline explained. Marcus is killed by the Kugelblitz in episode 1 and Harlan kills Jayme and Alphonso at the Hotel Obsidian during the standoff in episode 3. Luther sets off to look for her at the end of episode 10. Check out our guide to the Umbrella Academy season 3 post-credits scene for more on the final moment of the series. Blaming his grandfather for all the wrongs in his life, the boy goes back in time to kill him. A mysterious ball of light and energy, it has the ability to suck people inside of it, killing them, and later sends out waves of power that kill anyone in their path. But what does this have to do with the Grandfather Paradox? Well, if the Hargreeves' mothers are dead, then they shouldn't exist in this timeline. Everyone is unsure of themselves and distrustful of each other in the wake of Luther and Klaus' deaths. Prior to this, at the end of episode 9, Reginald kills Luther (Tom Hopper) in an attempt to bring the family together. As she goes over to check on her daughter, Ray (Yusuf Gatewood), the man she was married to in 1963, appears in the doorway, dressed in present-day clothing. After confronting their father, Reginald Hargreeves, back in the '60s, he decides to adopt another set of superpowered children in 1989, so the siblings find they've got competition as they arrive back in 2019. The Umbrella Academy season 3 has arrived on Netflix, and the finale will have left many of us with more questions than answers.
