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

2. Lila Is Part Of The Family

Lila was an enjoyable addition to the show's line-up this season as she quickly established herself as more than just Diego's love interest.

We soon learned that she was The Handler's adopted daughter and was assigned to protect Number Five. What she didn't know, however, was that it was her adoptive mother who ordered the hit on her real parents back in 1993.

The revelation that she also had powers was a delicious one, but not nearly as delicious as the reason why. There, in the final 20 minutes of the season, we discovered that she was one of the many children born on October 1, 1989 - making her an unofficial member of the Umbrella Academy.

She may have high-tailed it out of there with the briefcase, but she knows who her true family is now. Don't be surprised if she resurfaces in Season 3 to get to know her 'siblings' a little better... and rekindle that romance with Diego while she's at it.
