One last time through the apocalypse as Chris and Derek reach The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Episode 6 "The End of the Beginning" the final ever episode of the show.As always we'll discuss our favourite moments from this episode in full spoiler filled detail.Umbrella Academy Season 4 Episode 6 DetailsCreated for TV by Steve BlackmanDeveloped by Jeremy SlaterBased on the comic series by Gerard Way and Gabriel BáDirected by: Paco CabezasTeleplay by : Jesse McKeown and Robert Askins & Christopher High and Steve BlackmanStory by : Jesse McKeownThe Keepers set a blockade around Ben and Jennifer’s building, where their bodies have been severely mutated as a result of them interacting with each other. Viktor tries purging the durango now inside Ben, but fails and Ben and Jennifer merge to become the Cleanse. Abigail, hidden inside the body of Gene Thibedeau, kills his wife Jean when she begins to get suspicious. With both Thibedeau’s dead, Abigail tells Reginald that she brought about the Cleanse because she shouldn’t have been brought back to life, and the timeline should be reset again. Meanwhile the Umbrella Academy team up to try but fail to stop the Bennifer creature as the combined powers of Durango and Marigold inside them is overwhelming. Five, dejected at failing to stop the Cleanse, rides the timeline subway alone, until he meets Fives from other timelines. They tell him that there is only supposed to be one timeline, and the splitting and merging of timelines, as well as the constant threat of apocalypses, is due to the existence of the marigold and their families. When Reginald first released the marigold in 1989, a side effect of women getting pregnant was also the creation of multiple timelines. Five goes back to his siblings, and tells them they need to let the Cleanse absorb them and their marigold. In doing so, they will cease to exist, but will also create only one singular timeline without any apocalypses. Lila saves her family and Allison’s daughter Claire, then joins the siblings as they all get absorbed, destroying all but one timeline.In the one timeline, with the Marigold and Durango destroyed, friends and foes of the past live out their normal lives on a typical day where nothing exceptional happens. Finally the Umbrella Academy saved the day.Umbrella Academy Season 4 CastNumber 1 - Space/Luther played by Tom HopperNumber 2 - Diego played by David CastañedaNumber 3 - Rumour/Allison - Emmy Raver-LampmanNumber 4 - Klaus Played by Robert SheehanNumber 5 - Five Played by Aidan GallagherNumber 7 - Viktor played by Elliot PageBen/The Horror played by Justin H.

Fellow alumni we are back discussing Umbrella Academy Season 3 Episode 1 "Meet The Family". We chat all about the return of our favourite unlikely family and meet the new Sparrow Academy. Umbrella Academy Season 3 Episode 1 Podcast "Meet The Family" Details Episode Directed by Jeremy Webb Teleplay for this episode written by Steve Blackman and Michelle Lovretta After averting doomsday in Dallas, the Umbrella siblings return to a very different academy, now ruled by the powerful and hostile Sparrows, masters of both dance and combat, in an altered timeline. It is revealed that after their encounter in Dallas in 1963, Sir Reginald chose not to adopt Luther, Diego, Alisson, Vanya, Klaus and Five but seven other children instead, including Ben, Marcus, Fei, Alphonso, Sloane, Jayme and Christopher (the cube), and established "The Sparrow Academy". When both families meet for the first time at the Academy, an imaginary dance off in Diego’s mind, induced by venom from Jayme (No 6) turns into a fight, and a ball of energy forms in the basement of the Sparrow Academy. Upstairs in the ensuing fight the Umbrella siblings are overpowered until Vanya unleashes a burst of energy to defeat the Sparrows. The Umbrella siblings flee to the Hotel Obsidian and plan their next move, but inadvertently leave the time travel briefcase at the Academy. Vanya goes to make a deal with the Sparrow Number One, Marcus, who agrees to hand back the briefcase in exchange for the Umbrella Academy siblings leaving with no more trouble. This meeting is observed by Ben and the Sparrow Number Three, Fei. Diego discovers he and Lila have a young son, Stanley, and must make up for his 12-years of absence as Lila leaves Stan with him and heads to Berlin. Elsewhere, an older man named Lester Pocket packs his suitcase and sets out for an unknown destination. When Marcus goes to get the briefcase, he discovers the ball of energy or Kugelblitz, a time anomaly caused by the crossing timelines, and is disintegrated. After witnessing this act of power, Grace, who now works as the Sparrows' maid, begins worshiping the Kugelblitz as her god.

The Handler arrives with an army of Commission agents, but Vanya kills them all. Lila reveals herself to have the power to mirror the powers of the Academy who realize that she is another of the forty-three children that were born on the same day and that the Handler had Five murder her parents to get Lila for herself. The siblings reveal the truth to Lila before the Handler kills everyone before being shot herself by the last Swedish assassin. Mortally wounded, Five reverses time by a few minutes and stops the Handler who is killed by the assassin who ends his hunt for the Academy while Lila escapes. Sissy breaks up with Vanya for the sake of Harlan who Vanya removes her powers from. Herb, now the leader of the Commission, allows the Academy to use a briefcase to return to 2019 while Ray receives a goodbye letter from Allison, the Swede is picked up by Klaus' cult, Dave goes off to war and Sissy heads off to a new life with Harlan who retains telekinetic abilities.

Ben's understanding of her situation and her siblings trying to save her calms Vanya down and averts the explosion and the apocalypse. However, the effort involved proves to be too much for Ben's ghostly form and he departs for the afterlife. Connected to Vanya, Harlan experiences negative effects from the near-explosion and accidentally kills his father when Harlan deflects a bullet that Carl fired. Following up on a clue from AJ, Herb uncovers kill order 743 which he presents to Lila. Lila confronts her mom about it which involved old-Five killing Lila's parents.

Young-Five learns of old-Five's plan to kill him and with the help of Luther, manages to send old-Five to the original timeline, but accidentally destroys the briefcase in the process. Because the FBI building wasn't destroyed, JFK continues his parade and is assassinated despite Diego's attempts to stop it.
