Season two of The Umbrella Academy introduced a new key player into the mix: Lila. First appearing in a mental hospital alongside Diego (David Castañeda), her sharp personality, quick wit, and romantic chemistry shared with Diego instantly saw her become a highlight of the series.

Taken in by The Handler at a young age after she had her parents assassinated, Lila was a highly skilled Commission operative tasked with the undercover mission of keeping an eye on the siblings. During the climax of the series, though, we learned that Lila was a lot more skilled than she first let on.

She had some superpowers of her own; the ability to mimic other abilities to be exact. She replicated Vanya’s energy blast, almost killed Alison by “rumouring” her not to breathe, bested Luther in combat, and was able to blink like Five. That explains how she was able to avoid him so easily in a previous episode.

Despite the Hargreeves’ best attempts to persuade Lila to join them, she managed to escape with the help of a lovestruck Diego. But where (or even when) did she escape to?

Being such a large part of the second season, Lila is likely to return.
