Umbrella Academy Season 3 Episode 1 Podcast "Meet The Family" Details Episode Directed by Jeremy Webb Teleplay for this episode written by Steve Blackman and Michelle Lovretta After averting doomsday in Dallas, the Umbrella siblings return to a very different academy, now ruled by the powerful and hostile Sparrows, masters of both dance and combat, in an altered timeline. It is revealed that after their encounter in Dallas in 1963, Sir Reginald chose not to adopt Luther, Diego, Alisson, Vanya, Klaus and Five but seven other children instead, including Ben, Marcus, Fei, Alphonso, Sloane, Jayme and Christopher (the cube), and established "The Sparrow Academy". When both families meet for the first time at the Academy, an imaginary dance off in Diego’s mind, induced by venom from Jayme (No 6) turns into a fight, and a ball of energy forms in the basement of the Sparrow Academy. Upstairs in the ensuing fight the Umbrella siblings are overpowered until Vanya unleashes a burst of energy to defeat the Sparrows. The Umbrella siblings flee to the Hotel Obsidian and plan their next move, but inadvertently leave the time travel briefcase at the Academy. Vanya goes to make a deal with the Sparrow Number One, Marcus, who agrees to hand back the briefcase in exchange for the Umbrella Academy siblings leaving with no more trouble. This meeting is observed by Ben and the Sparrow Number Three, Fei. Diego discovers he and Lila have a young son, Stanley, and must make up for his 12-years of absence as Lila leaves Stan with him and heads to Berlin. Elsewhere, an older man named Lester Pocket packs his suitcase and sets out for an unknown destination. When Marcus goes to get the briefcase, he discovers the ball of energy or Kugelblitz, a time anomaly caused by the crossing timelines, and is disintegrated. After witnessing this act of power, Grace, who now works as the Sparrows' maid, begins worshiping the Kugelblitz as her god.
