Thats not a bad thing.
But whatever Vanyas goals for the book, she cant have been delighted by the reality of publishing it.
Justifiably or not, Vanya betrayed the trust of her family and she didnt even get rewarded for it.
Maybe her superpower is invisibility.
The consequences of Vanyas decision are threaded through the main narrative of theUmbrella Academy.
Diego still despises her, and even kindhearted Allison snaps at her in a moment of weakness.
But Allison is dealing with her own baggage.
But its also an enormous burden.
And there have been darker, more tangible consequences.
Even for regular people, its not uncommon to be haunted by the memories of those youve lost.
Klauss powers just literalize what it means to grieve.
He sees his dead brother everywhere he goes, which is a constant reminder of an irreversible loss.
He cant even take a relaxing bath without the ghosts of the dead screaming at him.
But when it comes to childhood baggage, the episodes most human reveal might also be its most affecting.
There are interesting questions left to be answered about Grace.
Was his coldness and gruffness just a way of counterbalancing the warmth he programmed the robot to have?
Allison discovers a video that makes it look like Grace may have murdered Dr. Hargreeves.
But the family meeting is interrupted by Cha-Cha and Hazel, who infiltrate the house looking for Five.
The fight leads to one last big reveal.
(More on that to come, I guess?)
Luthers simian body is certainly unexpected.
It also makes both Luther and his siblings revert back into awkward teenagers.
And that leaves the episode with one last question to answer: what to do about Grace.
Instead, shes absently cross-stitching a needle into her own synthetic skin.
Its a painful decision and for Diego, an unexpectedly mature one.
Maybe the Hargreeves kids are growing up after all.
No real payoff on that yet.
I found Graces death genuinely moving but isnt she, uh, a robot?
Cant they just reprogram her and boot her back up again?
As an actress, Allisons roles apparently included a tough lawyer in a wheelchair.
Eat your heart out, Grisham.
