Klaus ends up tracking down Rachel's sister amongst an Amish community in Pennsylvania. He enlists Five, who is really leaning into that retirement life, for the road trip. It's Klaus's birth mother! And now he'd like to find her and see what his life could've been. At one point back in the original timeline, Klaus found an old check stub of Reginald's made out to a woman named Rachel for the purchase of her child, listed on the stub as #4. Not having the briefcase so that the Umbrellas can get out of this timeline is about to be a problem for everybody, which we know thanks to another pairing of Hargreeveses who go on a little excursion: Klaus and Five (seriously, a GREAT character pairing, more of this, please). The Umbrellas may be dysfunctional and a little rough around the edges when it comes to overpowering evil, but at least you know they really care for each other. But while the Sparrows have mastered their skills as superheroes, they also seem much colder. It seems they have been much more successful than the Umbrellas ever were as an elite crime-fighting team and have become global sensations. Min), you know him and his tentacles Number Three is Fei (Britne Oldford), she has a murder of crows that come out of her body and do her bidding Number Four is Alphonso (Jake Epstein), who has some sort of pain transferal power, so if you hit him in face, you're hitting yourself Sloane is Number Five (Genesis Rodriguez), and she can manipulate gravity Jayme, Number Six ( Cazzie David), spits hallucinatory venom and Number Seven is a sentient cube named Christopher. I'd expect that discrepancy will somehow figure into the overall arc of the season.Īnd so we meet our Sparrows: Number One, Marcus (Justin Cornwell), who much like the other Number 1 has super strength Number Two, Ben (Justin H. In the original voiceover, we're told that 43 babies were born at that exact time, but this time, it's just 16. The sequence continues much like the first time we saw it - with Reginald trying to buy the babies born on October 1st, ending up with seven of them, and seeing them all being pushed in numbered strollers. A young couple is flirting until those same sparkly particles we saw Reginald release into the air before leaving his home planet in season 1 get absorbed into the woman and bing-bang-boom, she has a baby on the subway car floor. It's once again noon on October 1, 1989, but instead of seeing a Russian woman at a pool giving birth after having definitely not been pregnant just moments before, we find ourselves on a subway train in Seoul, South Korea. Really puts a damper on the high they must have been feeling from all that saving the world business.īut before we get into that initial showdown, the episode kicks off with a fun alternate timeline version of the opening to the pilot episode of the series. Reggie gives them the TL DR: Luther ( Tom Hopper), Diego (David Castañeda), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Five (Aidan Gallagher), and Viktor ( Elliot Page) are not his kids and never were - these seven newbies are the Hargreeves siblings and they are known as The Sparrow Academy. You may recall that season 2 ended with the Hargreeves siblings running into a little bit of snag after saving the world from the second apocalypse they caused (these guys really do have the worst track record with starting world-ending events, don't they?), this time in 1963 Dallas: Thinking they've fixed everything in the past and come out on top, they return to their 2019 timeline only to discover that not only is their father Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore), who was very much dead when they left 2019, now very much alive, but also that their home is filled with seven other superpowered siblings, one of whom happens to be their sweet, dead brother Ben, now also alive and also a complete dick. The Umbrella Academy is back for season 3 and with it, your favorite dysfunctional family of superheroes. To paraphrase one of season 2's most memorable needle drops: Oh my God, they're back again.
