So I was delighted to see Number Five begin, appropriately enough, with a lengthy montage featuring Five.
Or, to put it more bluntly: They travel through time killing people.
The Handler wants Five to become one of their killers.
But he balks when the Commission assigns him to assassinate JFK.
But the intervention of Fives siblings has made the mission exponentially more complicated.
But while Klaus isnt above stealing anything and everything, this one came with a particularly harrowing consequence.
When Klaus opened the briefcase, he was sent to Vietnam in 1968.
After joining a regiment and spending ten months as a soldier, he reappeared back in the present.
He seems to have fallen in love with a fellow soldier, who died in some unspeakably horrible way.
Halfway through the season, its clear that one ofUmbrella Academys key fascinations is the tragedy of time travel.
All of these time travelers finally come face-to-face on a remote stretch of road far outside of the city.
Meanwhile, Klaus and Diego arrive, seeking revenge on the assassins who tortured Klaus and murdered Patch.
Once again, she approaches Five at a crisis point with a life-changing offer.
She also promises to do what she can to ensure that his siblings survive.
Of course, this is one of those handshake deals where you cant really trust anybody involved.
But whatever the truth about Fives plan, time has been unfrozen again.
The apocalypse is creeping closer.
And its looking more and more like we know the vessel for it.
Since she stopped taking her pills, Vanya is feeling better and stronger than ever.
She earns a spot as the first chair in her orchestra, and finally consummates her relationship with Leonard.
And if this is where it starts, how much more powerful is Vanya going to get?
Raindrops
So is Leonard yet another agent for the Commission, trying to ensure the apocalypse happens?
Or does he have some other motive that hasnt been revealed yet?
The ice-cream truck Klaus steals also plays a twinkly version of Ride of the Valkyries, because why not?
