The second episode of the final season deals with the fallout of Ben's (Justin H. Min) actions as all the members of the Umbrella Academy save one wake up with horrible hangovers and their powers restored (albeit slightly different in some cases) and the lone holdout will be forced to join them by the end of the episode. Restored, the family travels to sleepy town of New Grumpson, Maine to try and find Jennifer (Victoria Sawal), who will come upon Ben first while the rest of the family deals with the murderous intentions of the townsfolk who all work for Hargreeves Enterprises.
It only takes a single episode for the plot to get more convoluted than necessary as the truth about Jennifer will twist and turn for awhile before leading to an ultimately unsatisfying conclusion for the characters and the series. However, the gun fight and mass murder of the town by the heroes exercising their returned powers is certainly a highlight as is Diego's (David Castañeda) discovery earlier on the episode on his daily route. The Ben/Jen pairing is also a strength... at least for now. Also of note is Five (Aidan Gallagher) discovering a subway and the ability to jump between different timelines, which will be explored in a later episode, and Klaus' (Robert Sheehan) death and return which creates some momentary friction within the family and will send him off on his own story.
