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.

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.

• 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.
