The Umbrella Academy Season 2: What Does The Ending Really Mean?

3. Ben Is Finally At Peace

That's right, Ben has finally found peace. Well... at least the one that was shadowing Klaus for 17 years.

In what may have been the season's most emotional moment, Ben managed to use his newfound ability (possessing people) to help Vanya remember who she was - not in her head but in her heart - and ultimately perished as a result.

Yes, he'd been dead for nearly two decades but he was too afraid to cross over into the light - hence why he stuck by Klaus' side all those years. But when his ghost was caught in the crossfire of Vanya's energy storm, he was more than willing to make the sacrifice and finally find peace.

It was a beautiful ending for a character we had all grown to love over the past two seasons, but in another surprising twist, that isn't the last we'll see of him after all (more on that later).
