Sir Reginald hired a succession of nannies to try and get Viktor to cooperate, but Viktor harnessed the power of a whistling kettle to injure (potentially fatally) each one in turn, when they tried to make him eat the oatmeal. Finally, Viktor was introduced to Grace, a robot built by Sir Reginald. The same thing happened to Grace; Viktor's power threw her across the room and she hit her head with a sickening crack. However, Grace was unfazed and got back up, her head having been knocked 180 degrees around. Viktor was disturbed and watched as Grace moved her head back to the right position and encouraged him to eat his oatmeal. Viktor quickly began eating his breakfast.
• Viktor's powers were tested by Sir Reginald. In a controlled environment, Sir Reginald had Viktor concentrate on the resonance of a tuning fork, harnessing it and using it to destroy a wine glass.

Eventually, he came to the conclusion that his powers could not be controlled and were too dangerous. Any emotional turbulence or lack of focus caused the powers to be uncontrollably released, each time with massive destructive capability, even training him were too risky to attempt.
• As a result, he locked him in the soundproof box, telling the other children that Viktor was sick and had to be isolated. None of the children questioned it. Grace brought food and medicine for Viktor. One day, Sir Reginald brought Allison to the chamber and made her use her power on Viktor, telling him, "I heard a rumor, you think you're just ordinary."

• In Dallas, the two eat together and the Handler tells Lila that her new mission is to “protect Number Five at all costs”. This confuses Lila, who tells her that Five deserves to die after everything he has done to her; nonetheless, she cites that he is worth more to her alive than dead. Lila understands, and cites that she ran into some trouble at the institution, and the Handler immediately recognizes this as the Swedes. She unconvincingly tells Lila that she sent the Swedes and that they know not to harm her, but neither of the two seem convinced by this notion.
• Viktor and Five visit the hostel where Luther is staying and, whilst Five waits with the car, Viktor goes to his room to talk with him. He asks him about the apocalypse, and it is here that he learns that he caused the apocalypse indirectly. They’re interrupted before they can finish their conversation, however, by Jack who enters and demands to know why Luther threw the fight; the two are unable to reconcile their differences, however, and Jack tells Luther that they are done with one another. Luther asks Viktor to leave him alone and enforces that he cannot help him. Viktor is angry at Five for lying to her about the apocalypse and tells him that he is returning to the farm and cannot help him either, given he is keeping secrets from him. Viktor drives away leaving Five alone as he receives a smirk from Luther who witnessed the whole situation.
• November 15, 1963 - Diego, Lila, Five and Elliott plan how they’ll confront Reginald again before the assassination: luckily, Five knows where he will be shortly, and shows Diego an invitation he found at the Umbrella Manufacturing Plant. Elliott instantly recognizes one of the attendees as one of “the Majestic 12”, a secret shadow government organization that they believe Reginald to be a member of. Viktor returns to the farm and embraces with Sissy, who is ecstatic to see him. Viktor promises to tell Sissy everything about his adventure over breakfast.
• Meanwhile, Klaus approaches Dave at the diner and reveals that the two know each other, and that he shouldn’t enlist in the military, despite his prior family involvement. The conversation is cut short, however, when Brian, Dave’s relative approaches and tells Klaus to leave. Brian begins throwing homophobic slurs at Klaus and forces Dave to punch him in the face, which shocks Klaus who leaves moments later as Ben watches in a state of shock. Allison arrives at Odessa's to find they are holding a meeting without her. When she enters, she is met by harsh stares from Miles and the others inside, and Ray asks if they can talk outside. Ray explains that he believes she is working for Dallas PD, or the FBI to infiltrate his movement and spy on him, and when Allison is unable to offer any other explanation, he leaves in anger, leaving her alone on the sidewalk. Feeling down from his encounter with Dave, Klaus turns to the only thing he knows: alcohol. Despite being clean for three years, Klaus is unwilling to listen to Ben who begs him to think of himself. Arriving home with his liquor, Klaus is surprised to find numerous of his supporters waiting for him; he runs away with them chasing him and is forced to throw away the liquor.
• November 19, 1963 - Diego, Lila, and Five arrive at the gala and sneak their way to the entrance.

• Reeling from Jack’s treatment, Luther sits and eats an outside fast food diner when he is recognized by Allison walking past. The two embrace and talk about the lives they’ve built for themselves. Allison tells Luther that she didn’t give up on them, and assumed Five would return sometime. Luther tells Allison that all members of the Umbrella Academy are present, and when she jokes that it’s when things usually go sideways, Luther is forced to explain that they caused another apocalypse seven days from now, much to her surprise.
• As the gala heads off to a start, Five tells Lila and Diego that they should split up, with him taking the upstairs and Lila and Diego keeping an eye out downstairs; Lila tries to follow Five on the Handler’s orders, but is pulled back by Diego. Diego questions where she went the previous night, and she makes up a story about going to the pharmacy. The two dance but Diego is quickly distracted when he notices a woman with stark resemblance to his mother, Grace. He approaches the woman and after a brief conversation, it is revealed that Reginald is her date, but is in a meeting. Diego enjoys the conversation and tells Grace that it was nice meeting her.
• Viktor explains everything going on to Sissy, including the details about the Swedes coming after him, and how he fears that he is putting Harlan and her in danger by staying with them. Sissy tells him that they will go away for a little while and she will protect him, but Viktor is unwilling to take the risk. The two notice that Harlan slips out of the house and run after him, but are forced to split up when neither one of them is sure of which way he went. Viktor eventually comes across a lake and, believing that he could be at the bottom, uses his ability to part the water. He finds Harlan at the bottom and attempts to give him CPR but he is unresponsive. As he is trying to resuscitate him, he uses her powers transfer particles of energy into his body. Moments later, he is able to cough the water up and wakes up just as Sissy arrives and the two embrace.
• Luther returns to his apartment to find he has been thrown out by the landlord, Phil. He tries to reason with him, but Phil cites that Luther is on Jack Ruby’s hit list and he doesn’t too want to be on it. Luther arrives at Elliott’s store to look for Five, but is told that he has gone out with Diego.
• Viktor, meanwhile, pours Sissy a drink and the two talk about Harlan. Sissy tells Viktor about how she feels small and invisible as Carl no longer sees her and Harlan is reluctant to communicate with her. Viktor expresses that he should leave, but is caught off guard when Sissy kisses him; the two of them begin to make out. Luther and Elliott take nitrous oxide to calm their nerves and laugh about their father’s and how Luther looks like an ape. He accidentally reveals that everyone will be dead within seven days, however, which shocks and confuses Elliott.
• Five watches from a closet as the Majestic Twelve announce that they’re going to assassinate JFK in an attempt to keep him from investigating them. Five makes a sudden movement which alerts the twelve to his presence and Reginald orders they meet at the back up location. Five teleports out of the closet but is met by the Swedes who attack him. A fight breaks out and Diego is eventually dragged in but both he and Five are unable to best the Swedes. Lila notices the fighting but is forced to choose to protect Five over Diego, who watches and begs her to help him. After Lila assists Five, Diego is easily able to best the final Swede. Five tries to catch Grace and Reginald before he departs to the back up location and shouts something from one of Homer's works to him in Ancient Greek that gauges his attention. He gets in the car and drives off anyway, telling Grace when she asks that it was nobody important
• November 20, 1963 - Klaus meanwhile has fallen back into old habits and started drinking again much to Ben’s dismay.

The three of them decide that it is time to get the Academy back together again and avert the apocalypse. Carl tells Sissy, Harlan and Viktor about the deal he closed at the company and becomes visibly excited about it. His excitement turns to lust, however, and his affection towards Sissy begins to annoy her and Viktor, who’s powers blip and he shatters the windows to the house. Harlan understands that Viktor caused this and tries to calm and comfort him.
• Lila is furious with the Handler and questions her over the Swedes and their interference with her attempts to protect Five. Nonetheless, she hands over Diego’s knife which the Handler asked her to retrieve previously. The Handler reveals that the Temps Commission has no idea that they’re in Dallas, 1963, but doesn’t reveal anything further — she remarks that if Lila needed to know, she would’ve told her. Back at Elliott’s, the Umbrella Academy are finally reunited. Allison is wary of Viktor, but realizes he is harmless without his memory and the two embrace. Five asks if Ben is present, but Klaus remarks that he isn’t as ghosts can’t time-travel much to Ben’s dismay who witnesses the conversation. Meanwhile, the Handler and Lila visit the house that the Swedes are hiding out in. Lila posts a transmission down the chimney and when the Swede’s open it, they find a photograph of Diego, their next target and a location.
• Five explains to the Umbrella Academy that the world will end in six days unless they stop it and at the moment they only know one thing: their father is involved. They’re unsure, however, if Reginald is planning to kill JFK, or has some other involvement in it. Diego suggests that they kill Reginald, whereas Five tells everyone they should talk to him and find out what is going on before the apocalypse. Luther is reluctant, however, and remarks that they should all grow up before storming out of the building with Diego in chase. On the way, he knocks Five out of the way who travels out of the building to find Lila waiting for him.
• Diego tries to convince Luther to stay, however Luther is concerned that he already caused the apocalypse once. The two talk, but are interrupted when a car approaches and the driver hands them a letter from Reginald inviting them to a dinner. At Odessa’s, Viktor, Klaus, and Allison talk about the end of the world and what they should do about it. They finally decide that if the world is going to end, they should have no more secrets. Klaus decides to face his cult, Viktor to tell Sissy how he feels and Allison to reveal her powers to Ray. The three dance after copious amounts of alcohol and Viktor remarks that his family is awesome. The Swedes track what they believe to be Diego on their mission from the Commission. They find themselves in a forest where Oscar quickly realizes they have been misled and are in fact tracking Diego’s knife. Unbeknownst to him, Oscar has stepped on a landmine and is blown to pieces in front of Axel and Otto. Five follows Lila to an abandoned warehouse where the two fight as Five attempts to keep his promise that he would kill Lila if the two should ever cross paths again. The fight is even, but Five is able to eventually get the upper hand on Lila and, with his foot to her throat, remarks that she can come out now; the Handler is surprised to find that Five figured out she is still alive and connected to Lila.
• Viktor arrives at the ranch to tell Sissy how he really feels, but finds that Sissy has slept with Carl again. He tells Sissy that the two of them can leave and be happy, but Sissy is reluctant to accept and tells her that she needs more time to figure things out.

Ben then tries to use Klaus' body by possessing him to speak to his father but fails. Reginald has a private drink with Five and calls him the most sensible of the group. Five asks for help and asks his father what he knows about time travel. Reginald suggests that instead of traveling back years, Five should travel back seconds.
