The Umbrella Academy season 2 finale: Lila learns the shocking truth

In the season finale, the Hargreeves find out that they are labelled as terrorists for allegedly enabling the assassination of former US President John F. Kennedy. Worried about Harlan, Vanya (now Victor) along with the siblings go to Sissy's farm. However, tension rises when the Handler along with Lila arrives at the farm.

In a shocking moment, Lila reveals her mysterious superpower: she can emulate the Academy's powers because she was born on the same day as the Hargreeves siblings. The siblings tell Lila that the Handler had commissioned Five to murder her parents. While Diego tries to convince her that she's one of them, the Handler shoots everyone except Lila, who confronts her. When Lila expresses her anger and calls the Hargreeves her family, the Handler kills her. Soon, one of the assassins kills the Handler.

Five then travels back in time by a few minutes and is able to stop the Handler from killing everyone. The Handler, however, is killed by the assassin. Meanwhile, Lila escapes as she manages to get hold of the briefcase. Later, Vanya retrieves his powers from Harlan and Commissioner Herb lets the siblings escape via a briefcase and travel back to 2019. Concerned about Harlan's safety, Vanya and Sissy break up. Elsewhere, Allison pens an emotional farewell letter to Ray.
