The Umbrella Academy: 10 Questions Season 3 MUST Answer

10. Is The Handler REALLY Dead?

Kate Walsh's unexpected return in a series regular capacity was one of this season's many pleasant surprises. However, that meant that The Handler's death in the final episode of Season 1 was instantly undone.

This was an unanticipated rewrite but one that ultimately worked to the second offering's advantage because, if we're being totally honest, Walsh was sorely underused the first time around. And she proved that relatively quickly as The Handler was a bloody fabulous antagonist.

Killing the character off again in the finale did feel a little redundant considering it had been used as one of the many hooks in the previous finale, but it worked much better this time because she'd been such an active villain this season.

You would think that seeing the body would be enough to confirm that she won't return in the next season, but let's face it: We saw her body in the Season 1 finale. This is the mysterious, relentless Handler who seems to have more lives than a cat, so there's always the possibiliity that she could return... especially when time-travel is involved.
