13. A Death In The Family

After years apart, the group finally reunite to honour the death of their father. Of course, there's some hilarious dark humour as Luther attempts to release his father's ashes into the wind, only for it to fall on the floor in front of everyone in a rather anti-climatic fashion.

However, the most interesting part was listening to Diego eulogize their father. There was no love for what he was taught by him or any fond memories, only contempt for the lack of love and care they received as children and how that has affected them as adults.

We see more of how Sir Reginald Hargreeves put his children through incredible hardships to try and get the best out of them later on in the show, but this moment really showed that despite the fame and respect they received as The Umbrella Academy, things weren't so hunky dory for them behind the scenes.
