One last time through the apocalypse as Chris and Derek reach The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Episode 6 "The End of the Beginning" the final ever episode of the show.

As always we'll discuss our favourite moments from this episode in full spoiler filled detail.

Umbrella Academy Season 4 Episode 6 Details

  • Created for TV by Steve Blackman
  • Developed by Jeremy Slater
  • Based on the comic series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá
  • Directed by: Paco Cabezas
  • Teleplay by : Jesse McKeown and Robert Askins & Christopher High and Steve Blackman
  • Story by : Jesse McKeown

The Keepers set a blockade around Ben and Jennifer’s building, where their bodies have been severely mutated as a result of them interacting with each other. Viktor tries purging the durango now inside Ben, but fails and Ben and Jennifer merge to become the Cleanse. 

Abigail, hidden inside the body of Gene Thibedeau, kills his wife Jean when she begins to get suspicious. With both Thibedeau’s dead, Abigail tells Reginald that she brought about the Cleanse because she shouldn’t have been brought back to life, and the timeline should be reset again. 

Meanwhile the Umbrella Academy team up to try but fail to stop the Bennifer creature as the combined powers of Durango and Marigold inside them is overwhelming. 

Five, dejected at failing to stop the Cleanse, rides the timeline subway alone, until he meets Fives from other timelines. They tell him that there is only supposed to be one timeline, and the splitting and merging of timelines, as well as the constant threat of apocalypses, is due to the existence of the marigold and their families. 

When Reginald first released the marigold in 1989, a side effect of women getting pregnant was also the creation of multiple timelines. Five goes back to his siblings, and tells them they need to let the Cleanse absorb them and their marigold. In doing so, they will cease to exist, but will also create only one singular timeline without any apocalypses. Lila saves her family and Allison’s daughter Claire, then joins the siblings as they all get absorbed, destroying all but one timeline.

In the one timeline, with the Marigold and Durango destroyed, friends and foes of the past live out their normal lives on a typical day where nothing exceptional happens. Finally the Umbrella Academy saved the day.

Five and Lila get lost for over six years while traveling through the timeline subway system. Viktor and Reginald contact Ben and try to warn him about interacting with Jennifer, but he ignores their warnings. However, Jennifer starts feeling sick. Sy informs the Keepers about Ben’s role with Jennifer, and recommends keeping Ben’s siblings away from him. 

The Keepers set a trap that kills Reginald’s men and injures Viktor. At the CIA headquarters, Luther realizes Five’s boss, Ribbons, is a member of the Keepers, leading to Luther and Diego fighting their way out of the CIA. Gene distrusts Sy, and tells him to leave. Sy, revealed to be Abigail in disguise, kills Gene and disguises herself as him, just as the Keepers are informed of Ben and Jennifer’s current whereabouts.

While scavenging, Five finds notes written by himself, which will lead them back to their home timeline, but hides them from Lila for a few months. Five is hesitant to return, but Lila wants to go back immediately. Meanwhile, Allison and Claire find and rescue Klaus from the grave.

In Reginald’s memory recovering machine the siblings learn that on October 14, 2006, in the original timeline, the Umbrella Academy (minus Five and Vanya) were sent to destroy a container in Moldova. Despite Reggie warning the team against any interaction with the container, Ben hears a tapping inside. He sees Jennifer inside and lets her out. But Reginald arrives and kills both Ben and Jennifer in front of the others. 

After regaining their memories of the incident, Reginald’s wife Abigail reveals that she was responsible for Ben and Jennifers deaths. Years ago, she created a new element, marigold. However, a second element was unknowingly created, durango, which is currently inside Jennifer. If the two interact, it would cause “The Cleanse”, which would destroy the world. 

To prevent The Cleanse, Reginald wants to kill Ben, but Viktor instead wants to remove Ben’s marigold. 

Five and Lila try to find the original timeline to prevent the original Ben’s death, but get lost in the timeline traveling subway system. 

Meanwhile, Klaus is forced to become a medium and prostitute for Quinn in order to pay off his debts. He manages to escape Quinn’s building and finds a bag of money in the grave of one of his clients. When she comes to retrieve it, Quinn and his Biker Gang also come to claim the money. But a standoff between the two groups leaves everyone but Quinn and Klaus dead. He steals the money and buries the immortal Klaus in a sealed coffin.

Umbrella Academy Season 4 Episode 3 Podcast

Chris and Derek are back again to chat about The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Episode 3 "The Squid and The Girl" and learn more information about The Cleanse.

Umbrella Academy Season 4 Episode 3 Details

  • Created for TV by Steve Blackman
  • Developed by Jeremy Slater
  • Based on the comic series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá
  • Directed by: Paco Cabezas
  • Written by : Aeryn Michelle Williams and Elizabeth Padden.


In October 2006, fishermen caught a giant squid off the coast of the US with a young girl inside. When asked what happened, the young girl responded with "The Cleanse". 

Shortly after, Reginald built a town in Maine for the young girl, Jennifer, to live a normal life, yet stay protected. 

In the present day, Ben’s body has changed after colliding with the now grown Jennifer during her kidnapping by Doctors Jean and Gene Thibodeau. 

Klaus gets his drug dealer, Quinn to kill him but after he discovers Klaus’ immortality he kidnaps him with a plan for Klaus to pay back his debts. 

Five, Diego and Lila go to the Keepers' HQ. Five reveals to Lila that his powers now allow him to navigate between timelines via subway station, to the same place but in a different timeline. He has no control over where they travel to and when they find themselves in Five’s original apocalypse he quickly returns them to Diego. Diego finds files from the original timeline, which list Ben's cause of death as "The Jennifer Incident", a mission from the Umbrella Academy’s past that none of the family can quite remember.

Allison, Viktor, and Luther go to Hargreeves' manor, where they meet Abigail and Reginald. When Diego, Five and Lila arrive they realise that the original Reginald Hargreeves erased their memories of how Ben died, and reuniting they attempt to restore their memory. 

Meanwhile, Jean and Gene show Jennifer mementos of the original timeline, as well as the giant squid. They reveal she is the key to destroying all timelines and restoring the original one. 

On his own solo quest, Ben is told by Sy Grossman to use the wounds he got from Jennifer and listen to his body to find her. He arrives at Jean and Gene’s hideout and unleashes his inner horror to free Jennifer, unaware the Thibodeau's intentionally let them escape to carry out their plan.
