Luther and Klaus are gone, and the rest of the Hargreeves have headed into Hotel Oblivion with Reginald for a mission that is sure to be exactly as the patriarch described … Read on to see how season 3 of The Umbrella Academy ends in “Oblivion.”

We’re Dead, Man

Klaus and Luther are reunited in the Void, watching TV and eating pizza in the middle of the desert. Pizza that has pineapple on it, much to the chagrin of Klaus. He has to break it to Luther that they’re dead, but Klaus is right at home.

Luther tells him that dad is absolutely a bug-alien and begs him to go back and warn Sloane and the others, but Klaus is done with the other side. This is his home. Luther punches him for abandoning the family, but who cares they’ll all be here soon enough? There’s also no pain in the Void, so have it at, Luther.

They chase each other throughout everyone else’s little pockets of paradise, ending with Luther finally getting through to Klaus, who agrees to try and get back to the others.

Hotel Oblivion

Five doesn’t buy that the Kugelblitz got Klaus, but there’s no time to argue it. They make their way to the lobby and fight over the bell, Diego knows what happens when that bell rings.

Five knows that Reginal killed Luther and Klaus, citing the way he got the family back together in the first place by killing himself. It’s perfectly on par. He also knows Allison has a big part in this. Allison, however, had no idea her brothers’ deaths were part of the plan. He assures her he had no part in it and that he’ll hold up his end of the agreement as long as she does.

Step one is finding the sigil, after that, it’s up to anyone’s best guess. Not even Reginald knows, and the team is certainly not pleased about that. Allison, Five, and Viktor go one way, Sloane, Ben, and Reginald another, with Diego and Lila rounding out the groups. Reginald, of course, leaves Sloane and Ben alone.

Five confronts Allison about the deal, he knows, and now she’s gotten Luther and Klaus killed. She won’t admit to it and leaves, Viktor chasing after her, Five following but unknowingly passing through a portal to an entirely new area of the hotel.

The same things happen to Diego and Lila as well as Ben and Sloane, who are found by Five. He’s figured it out, the hotel is virtually alive seemingly to keep them away from the lobby. A lobby where Reginald Hargreeves is found by Klaus back from the Void. He knocks him out cold and rings the bell. The battle is set to begin

There are actually four Guardians, and the teams take three of them out. Allison admits to her deal to Viktor but promises she had nothing to do with Klaus or Luther. When they all reconvene in the lobby, Klaus tells all of them the truth, Reginald owning up to it but promising them that the key to resetting the universe is in this hotel. And Five finds it moments before the final Guardian falls from the ceiling and slices his arm off, exactly like his 100-year-old self.

Sloane stands alone against the final Guardian until a familiar face returns. Luther. But he’s not really here, it’s Klaus transporting him here from the Void (finally giving Number 4 more of his comic powers!). Reginald tells Luther he did have a purpose outside of this mission, he had sent Luther to guard the most precious thing in the universe, most likely referring to Abigail on the moon. It’s starting to feel like Abigail is why Reginald was so hellbent on getting to reset the universe in the first place. He disappears when Klaus can no longer hold on.

The sigil is on the floor, seven stars for each of them to stand on, but not Allison. And it’s clear why, standing on the sigils is killing all seven of them, and Reg can’t keep up his end of the deal with Allison if she’s dead.

The hotel isn’t actually a hotel, it’s a machine meant to reset the universe, and the particles inside their bodies are the only things that can power it. A panel appears, allowing Reginald to program him what reality he wants to set. Allison stops him, slicing his head right in half, freeing her siblings in the knick of time. But the machine is set. Despite protests from her family, she pushes the button.

A New Reality

Allison returns home to find Claire and Ray, her dream come true. The others all emerge from the hotel to a brand new world in Obsidian Park, a memorial to Sir Reginald Hargreeves in the courtyard. All of them, including Luther, who now has his normal human body back, and Five’s arm and Diego’s fingers are also back intact. However, one is missing, Sloane. And so are all their powers.

Reginald was successful in resetting the universe. They all disperse, Luther to find Sloane, Klaus follows Luther, Ben grumpily stalks off, and Lila and Diego walk off into the sunset to live their lives.

Despite the memorial, Reginald is also alive and well in a skyscraper, Abigail at his side.

It’s the end of the world as we know it as the Kugelblitz has destroyed all but Hotel Obsidian. Read on to find out what happens in The Umbrella Academy season 3, episode 9 “Seven Bells.”

More to the Moon

While we originally believed Luther was up on the moon to keep an eye for Viktor’s moon-shattering blast, turns out Reginald Hargreeves was using the moon for a whole different purpose. While Luther is fenced into his own little area, unable to pass a geo fence, out of his reach miles away is another facility. At this facility is a deceased woman cryogenically frozen, her name: Abigail Hargreeves.

The Mystery Bargain

Five is set on figuring out who Reggie was speaking to in the White Buffalo Suite last night, despite the fact he was blackout drunk while Allison is on an apologetic spree. She starts with Luther and adds in that dad has called a meeting at noon with a plan to save the universe. Luther sees her apology for what it is, a ploy to get him and Sloane to attend. Luther refuses but Sloane agrees.

Reginald heads out to work on Five, who is marveling at the Kugelblitz. He wants the world to end, especially like this. The Kugelblitz is clean and effective. Reginald reveals he’s seen the ends of worlds before and that he wishes he’d done more to help save those ones, and that’s what he needs their help with. He doesn’t want to lose another one. Five agrees to attend the meeting at noon if Reggie tells him who he was with in the Buffalo Suite last night, he assumes Ben or Klaus, but Reg insists he was alone. Not like Five was in any condition to remember, right?

Seven

In the meeting, Reggie cuts right to the chase. Mythology states the magic number is seven when faced with certain death and the universe has a built-in reset button via a portal that he built this very hotel around. They simply cross the portal and tap the button, and all will be well again (we absolutely believe everything Reggie says because he’s proven to be exceptionally honest in his entire existence as a masked alien…).

There is however, the Guardian, Diego and Lila have already met it, and that’s what complicates things. As Ben agrees, Five again tries to deduce who Reginald was talking to last night, continuing after agreement from Diego (who wants Lila to stay behind). Allison states everyone has to go, but Viktor wants a vote. They all part for an hour to think over how they’ll vote.

Allison makes her apology to Viktor, saying her pain is no excuse to hurt other people, but there’s something about their faces that knows this isn’t the true meaning of the apology.

Vote

After the tally it’s Allison, Klaus, Ben, and Lila with dear old dad and Viktor, Diego, Luther, and Sloane staying behind. A tie, leaving Five with the remaining vote. Five decides to go with his future self still, and votes to stay. However, there must be seven that head into the portal, and Reg only has four.

A Unifying Moment

Luther finds Reginald in the White Buffalo Suite and discusses why he made the choice he did. If anyone has a right to be mad at Reginald it’s Luther, he was also his most loyal son. Reginald begs for forgiveness, and Luther grants it. Only to be killed by his father’s hand (quite literally his alien appendage…).

Reginald says the only way to unite a family is at a wedding or a funeral (he’s done the funeral bit before, hasn’t he?) and the wedding didn’t work. So Luther’s funeral it is.

As Five continues to try and figure out who Reg was talking to last night, Viktor approaches and tells him that he knows Allison’s apology was a fluke. It had an ulterior motive. That’s all Five needs to jog his memory. It was Allison in the Suite last night. Sloane screaming draws their attention and they join the rest of the family in the Suite with Luther’s body.

Diego blames the Guardian, Reg was smart to mimic the wounds a curved blade would cause. Reginald comes in shocked and Allison looks at him in horror, this is clearly more than she agreed to.

The Kugelblitz has finally hit the hotel and it’s now or never. Everyone agrees to head through the tunnel to save their own skins, avenge Luther, fix the universe — they all have their reasons — but there’s one problem. There are eight, and Reggie needs only seven

Right as he’s about to crawl through the tunnel Klaus is pushed away, he’s more trouble than he’s worth. But Klaus is smarter than he seems. Before the Kugelblitz can wipe him away, he throws himself on the horns of the White Buffalo, killing himself. Let’s see what his newfound abilities can do for him now.

The Kugelblitz is bigger and badder than ever, but first, a wedding. Read on to find out what happens in episode 8 of The Umbrella Academy season 3, “Wedding at the End of the World.”

Hotel Obsidian

Turns out, Hotel Obsidian was built by none other than Sir Reginald Hargreeves (who we remember from last season is actually an alien) around a portal in the sky he’d sought out. That portal is what lies behind the secret door in the White Buffalo Suite. At the hotel’s grand opening event, he sent in a team to kill what lurked on the other side of the lighted tunnel. One returned barely alive but was able to mutter the words “all dead” before passing himself.

Why Us?

The Hargreeves are curious as to why they’re the last ones standing as the Kugelblitz has destroyed all but the block the hotel sits on. Ben knows it’s because they’re special, they’re the only ones with the ability to save the universe. But Five knows they’re too late. It’s over. They’ve spent the last 28 days saving the world from three different apocalypses (crazy it’s only been 28 days since Five returned to the Hargreeves in season 1) and each time they made it worse. He tells them that his 100-year-old self warned him not to save the world and he’s ready to hang up his Umbrella.

After that is when Luther and Sloane decide to announce their engagement to their siblings and they’re getting married that night.

It’s Too Late For Reggie

While he may have been able to kindle a relationship with Klaus, the others aren’t so forgiving of dear old dad. Luther rescinds Sloane’s invitation to their wedding, however, Ben is ready to fight, still working to gain approval. But Five has a statement that actually leaves Reggie shocked. He knows about Project Oblivion and he knows that Reggie is planning on gambling all of their lives.

When everyone disperses after Klaus hauls Reg away, Luther asks Viktor to be the best man at the wedding, to which Viktor accepts. It also turns out Ben is the only one not invited to Luther’s bachelor party.

Klaus is still trying to help him bond with the others and he convinces Reg to still attend the wedding tonight as dad and not a boss.

Luther’s Bachelor Party

Karaoke. Need there be more? The perfect send-off to the Earth as we know it is the Hargreeves singing and dancing together, particularly a duet featuring Klaus and Five. Luther also convinces Viktor to talk to Allison, he doesn’t want her to be alone at the end of it all.

Ben is still upset he didn’t get an invite, and in a conversation with Sloane she makes it clear that he’s more upset about being left out of the festivities than anything else that’s going on. They’re the only two Sparrows remaining, but after her marriage, she’ll be considering herself an Umbrella as she tells Ben he’s now Number 1 of one.

The Wedding

In a ceremony officiated by the best of choices — Klaus — Sloane and Luther are “married as shit” here at the end of the world.

Klaus is still trying to convince Luther to give dad a chance, and Luther still isn’t having it. Then, Reggie walks in. He sits alone, but Lila requests a formal invitation. Lila and Reg hit it off and Reggie congratulates Diego on the catch and tells him he’d have made a superb father.

Seemingly on a mission to unite the families, Klaus goes to Ben next and chats with him, lending a listening ear as a very drunk Ben vents about his frustration with not being invited to the bachelor party and how the Umbrellas like their Ben so much but not him.

Reggie makes a speech about Sloane as Viktor tries to reconcile with Allison at Luther’s request. Allison doesn’t accept Viktor’s apology, but Reggie delivers quite the sensational speech that seems to land with the others.

They all gather outside, Ben now welcomed into the group, to marvel at the swirling orange Kugelblitz as one big family. That is, until Five takes off with his stomach churning threatening to hurl. As he returns to his room, he stumbles across a plant to empty his stomach into a plant right across from the White Buffalo Suite. And there, he sees Reg solidifying a deal with someone before passing out in the elevator.

Diego is down a few fingers after a run-in with a scary something in Hotel Oblivion, Allison has killed Harlan and delivered him to the Sparrows, and Klaus and Reggie are still hard at work trying to figure out the extent of Klaus’ abilities. Read on to see what happens in episode 7 of The Umbrella Academy season 3!

Berlin

After her mother’s death and the loss of the Hargreeves, Lila returns to the Commission and discovers the truth at the Infinite Switchboard, her mother really did put a bullet in her heart. Herb can’t have her around the Commission and offers to take her anywhere she wants at any time period, so she chooses West Berlin in 1989 where she digs out a stashed Commission briefcase hidden by her mother in the Berlin Wall. There she joins a band as a drummer (shoutout to Ritu Arya’s actual band KIN where she plays the drums!) and moves in with Trudy and Stan before Stan agrees to help her win Diego over once again.

Klaus’ Reanimation Training

With his newly discovered gift of being literally immortal, Reggie and Klaus set out to help Klaus master his ability (because if he stays dead for 22 minutes that’s more than enough time for his organs to be harvested). Over and over Klaus gets hit by speeding car after speeding car until he manages to bring himself back to the world of the living in under two minutes. Now he’s ready. But ready for what?

Now it’s time for part two and Reggie takes Klaus to a cemetery where he’s left to be chased by ghosts. Reggie motivates him to take charge, citing that Klaus’ Reginald father did what he did to make Klaus doubt himself and feel small so he could be controlled.

He faces the spirits again and somehow banishes them away in a flash of light emitting from his body.

Luther’s Split Allegiance Unites

Loyal to his own family, and Sloane now, Luther is left in a tough place to unite the families for the common cause of solving the Kugelblitz. He and Sloane go and fetch Five, Diego, and Lila as they argue about heading back over to Hotel Oblivion to bring them back to the Sparrow Academy.

At the Academy, Allison comes clean to Viktor about killing Harlan. Allison tells him that Harlan had told her the truth about their mothers and that she knows Viktor was lying about it. The two get into it, Allison is angry over how adamantly Viktor tried to save Harlan but has done nothing to try and bring Claire back, and that every bad thing that has happened to them can be traced back to Viktor. And somehow he never has to pay for that. Her new strengthened powers from Harlan’s energy field return, sealing Viktor’s mouth shut and rendering him unable to breathe with a simple command. Viktor heads to Ben’s room upstairs after striking Allison across the face, and the planning continues.

They head downstairs to get a look at the Kugelblitz and Sloane and Five formulate a plan to trap it using Sloane, Viktor, Lila, and Christopher. They’re using its own gravity to condense it and then Grace arrives to save “God,” forcing the others to fend her and her flamethrower off until Five transports her upstairs and kills her.

They manage to get the Kugelblitz safely stored inside Christopher, the next Kugel wave coming out as a fart.

Time to Celebrate

With the Kugelblitz safely contained it’s time to party. Champagne is passed around the dancing heroes, but Luther is up on the roof seeing the reality of the destruction caused. The world is quite literally burning as a result of the Kugel waves. Sloane heads up to find him and they plan to visit Italy right before Luther asks for her hand in marriage with a handmade ring containing a rock from the moon. She agrees, and it’s time to plan a wedding!

Lila also has a confession. She didn’t only bring Stan here to mess with Diego, it’s because she actually is pregnant and wanted to see how Diego would be as a father. She wants to be a family.

Five Levels with Viktor

If there are any Hargreeves who can make a point and nail it home, it’s Five. He finds Viktor in Reggie’s office and tells him that there is no formula that makes up for the lives people like them — powerful people — take. You can’t save so many people to absolve yourself for the lives you took. They’re too powerful to be making decisions like this, especially alone.

You know what they call a superhero who works alone and doesn’t listen to anybody? A villain.

Five

He assures Viktor he’s always here for him, no more going rogue, but if he lies to them again Five will kill Viktor himself.

Sparrow Split

Fei wants to kill the Umbrellas now that the Kugelblitz is taken care of, but Ben has made some kind of deal with Reggie that needs them. Fei is furious that he’s gone and made this deal without anyone’s input and she and Christopher decide that they’ll no longer be following his orders.

That is until the Kugelblitz breaks free from Christopher, and sucks in Fei and everyone else in its path as he swallows the building, Five getting everyone else out in the knick of time. Back to square one.
