Lila embraces her ex, Diego, stating he’s now off the hook. This time-traveling misadventure seems to have destroyed the very last briefcase of its kind in the process.
The gang reunite, with Lila and Five hopping back to update the Umbrellas about the imminent end of the world. They must formulate a plan to keep Harlan safe, but still address the cause of the paradox. Their deaths were an accident, yet Viktor worries no one else will see it that way. Harlan tried to break the connection, but it was too late, the damage was done. That connection was linked to Viktor’s mother and all the other mothers. Harlan says he waited years for Viktor to return, and on the day his mother died, he felt Viktor’s connection again. Is Klaus immortal? It would appear so.īack in the ‘real’ world, Viktor and Harlan find time for a heart-to-heart, although this is only after a rather destructive quarrel, where they flex their muscles in a ruined hotel room. The sibling, who can talk to the dead, realizes that he can also avoid death, with a vision of his mother telling him he’s died a grand total of fifty six times before.
Firstly, Reginald experiments on a youthful Klaus inside a mausoleum, then a teenage Klaus falls off a roof, and finally, he watches his latest death again. He walks to a beach and relives some fatal memories from his past, all to the beat of The XX’s Crystalised. Klaus finds himself in a monochrome world, after being shot through the chest by a harpoon. The Umbrella Academy season 3, episode 5 recap
In “Kindest Cut” our cast of characters battle their own demons while the Umbrella siblings decide what to do with the deadly Harlan, their apocalyptic elephant in the room. Episode five opens with our death-defying superhero exploring a purgatorial black and white world. That’s what made Klaus’ death so shocking in the previous instalment. TV shows really struggle to let go of their main characters and have a hard time killing any of them off.
