The Umbrella Academy: How Did The Team Get Their Powers Back in Season 4? Explored

by

As a dedicated follower of The Umbrella Academy, I have been enthralled by the intricate and captivating storylines that this series has to offer. Each season unravels with such an engaging blend of action, drama, humor, and emotional depth that leaves me eagerly anticipating the next episode.

The Umbrella Academy is a collection of comics that follows a unique group of kids who were all born on the same day and brought up by Sir Reginald Hargreeves. These exceptional children band together to create the Umbrella Academy, an elite squad dedicated to battling crime using their supernatural abilities. Despite their renown, the lives of several members are tragically disrupted.

In the initial two instalments of this series, we follow the Academy as they grapple with the approaching apocalypse while dealing with their personal family matters. The final moments of Season 3 left viewers on the edge of their seats, questioning whether the group will reassemble for Season 4 and if their abilities will be reinstated again.

In much of Season 3, The Umbrella Academy finds refuge in Hotel Oblivion, a sanctuary as the world around them collapses. This peculiar hotel conceals numerous mysteries, among them being Guardians safeguarding a tool that can restore the world to its original state. Sir Reginald Hargreeves requires seven unique individuals to engage each of the seven mechanisms to utilize this device.

Sir Reginald chose to raise seven out of his 43 children, sending Marigold away, with an ulterior motive. From the start, he aimed to employ these extraordinary kids to conquer Hotel Oblivion’s Guardians and energize all seven controls on the gadget. This would activate the device, harnessing Marigold’s energy within them, granting Reginald the ability to remake the world according to his desires. Though this scheme gives Reginald control, his primary intention is to resurrect his cherished wife, Abigail.

Sir Reginald successfully rewrites time using a device from Hotel Oblivion, seemingly threatening the Umbrella Academy. Season 3 ends with the team appearing in Reginald Hargreeves’ new world, but the device removes Marigold from their bodies, leaving them without powers.

In season 4, The Umbrella Academy finds themselves in the midst of an impending disaster, and to preserve their abilities, they conceal Abigail, Sir Reginald’s wife, as Sy Grossman. Sy then reaches out to Five and the rest of the academy to search for Jennifer, who has mysteriously vanished. However, it turns out that Abigail/Sy is hatching a secret plot. Five decides to assist Sy due to a vial of Marigold connected to Jennifer’s disappearance.

In a turn of unintended events, Abigail, who crafted Marigold, inadvertently brought forth another element, Durango. When Marigold and Durango mingle, they trigger an event called the Cleanse, which has the potential to erase the entire world. This destructive force dwells within Jennifer. Anticipating that the Umbrella Academy won’t pass up the opportunity to regain their powers by retrieving the container of Marigold, Abigail sets them on a mission to find Jennifer. Once they locate her, the Cleanse is expected to commence. Abigail wishes that this catastrophe will serve as a means to rectify the mistakes she made when she initially created these elements.

At first, The Umbrella Academy expresses uncertainty about consuming Marigold, but ultimately decides not to restore their powers. Feeling disheartened, Ben deceives the group by getting drunk with Marigold on spiked sake and fooling everyone except Klaus, who’s been sober for three years. Klaus discards the sake, and later, Allison gives him a dose after he’s been injured to keep him alive.
