Umbrella Academy Season 3 Episode 5 Podcast "Kindest Cuts" Details
Episode Directed by Sylvain White
Teleplay for this episode written by Elizabeth Padden
Following his harpooning, Klaus awakens in the afterlife, where the Person on the Bike reveals that he has died over 50 times, but always returns to life because of his power. He reconnects with his dead mother, who tells him not to mourn her and he should try to seek a sense of purpose rather than being a professional chaos generator.
Five and Lila return to the Hotel Obsidian, but their only remaining briefcase is destroyed in the process. An urgent family meeting is called where Five reveals that the grandfather paradox has created a Kugelblitz, and that time is running out as its powerful effects are growing and will soon collapse all of existence. With no time to hold a grudge, Lila and Diego restart their relationship, when, missing from the family meeting, Diego wonders where his son Stanley has got to.
Searching for Stanley, Diego bumps into him in the hotel corridor acting suspicious and laden with bleach. Stanley tells him everything about his accidental killing of Klaus and comforts and reassures him after his ordeal. Wrapped up in a rug, Diego and Stanley go about conspicuously moving his body through the hotel, when Klaus suddenly returns to life. As events press in on Alisson and desperate to escape her trauma and pain, she tries to reconnect with Luther, but when he pulls back from her she starts to use her powers to force herself on Luther.
Horrified, Luther flees to the Sparrow Academy to find Sloane, while the rest of the family agrees to hand Harlan over to the Sparrows so they can all focus on the Kugelblitz. Viktor feels guilty about the trauma his powers have caused Harlan and while trying to sneak him out of the Hotel, enlists Allison to help him, as he goes to the rest of the siblings that Harlan has disappeared.
With just Klaus and Five left at the bar, Klaus recognizes Five's future tattoo as belonging to a biker gang called the Mothers of Agony who used to sell him drugs. Armed with this information and being his only lead, Five goes to the gang's club. In a back room off the bar he finds an old friend, Pogo.
