Every Umbrella Academy Episode Ranked Worst To Best

As the second season of the show reached the end of its first half, episode five felt like a turning point. The biggest part of the episode, and possibly of the season so far, was that the team was finally brought back together.

As fun as it was to see the family scattered throughout Dallas, we knew they would have to come back together at some point, and this episode finally delivered. This gave us some dynamics that we hadn't seen for a while, including the wonderful scene between Klaus, Allison, and Vanya. There were some very heavy themes running throughout season two, so a more fun moment like this was a welcome change.

The end of the episode became more emotional, as the characters decided to embrace their fate. Klaus, Allison, and Vanya all had to have tough conversations with those they'd come to love in Dallas, all which needed to happen in order for the show to truly change gear and move forward in the second half of the season.
