Official synopsis[]

While Allison searches frantically for Ray, Vanya contends with a crisis at the farm, and Five, Diego and Lila crash a party at the Mexican Consulate.

Plot[]

A flashback to London, 1993, shows Lila Pitts’ family being murdered by the Temps Commission. The Handler admires their handy work but notices a secret room hidden through the wall. Inside, she finds little Lila. The flashback moves forward and reveals that the Handler took Lila in and raised her as her own despite their differences, and Lila eventually came to work under the Handler at the Commission.

The two eat together in Dallas, 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 seems convinced by this notion.

Viktor[note 1] and Five visit the hostel where Luther is staying, and while 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, Jack enters and demands to know why Luther threw the fight; the two are unable to reconcile their differences, but 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 that he is keeping secrets from him. Viktor drives away, leaving Five alone, as he receives a smirk from Luther, who witnessed the whole situation.

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 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. However, the conversation is cut short 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. When Allison cannot offer any other explanation, he leaves angrily, 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.

Diego, Lila, and Five arrive at the gala and sneak their way to the entrance. Five accosts Lila and tells her that he doesn’t believe she is on their side despite how brainwashed Diego has been towards her; she assures him that she is on their side, but he is reluctant to accept.

Reeling from Jack’s treatment, Luther sits and eats at an outside fast food diner when Allison recognizes him 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. 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 a 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 runs 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 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 tries to resuscitate him, he uses her powers to transfer particles of energy into his body. Moments later, he can cough the water up and wakes up just as Sissy arrives, and the two embrace.

Luther returns to his apartment to find that his landlord, Phil, has thrown him out. He tries to reason with him, but Phil cites that Luther is on Jack Ruby’s hit list and doesn’t want to be on it either. 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 them to meet at the backup location. Five teleport out of the closet, but are met by the Swedes who attack him. A fight breaks out, and Diego is eventually dragged in, but both he and Five cannot beat 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 can easily best the final Swede.

Five tries to catch Grace and Reginald before he departs to the backup 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.
