Recap of The Umbrella Academy Season 3 Episode 5: Kindest Cut
At the very beginning of Episode 5 of The Umbrella Academy season 3, viewers saw Klaus waking up in a monochromatic black and white world after accidentally getting shot by Stanley. It seemed like he was in a state of limbo. He was seen walking towards a bench where he started reliving some dreadful haunting memories.
Klaus first saw Reginald experimenting with his young version within a mausoleum. After that, he witnessed his teenage version fall off the roof, and lastly, he saw his latest demise after getting shot by a harpoon.
Soon, Klaus realized that he could avoid death as he saw his mother in the vision, informing him that he had died fifty-six times till now. It would appear as if Klaus was blessed with immortality.
Upon returning from the bar, Diego found Stanley trying to dissolve Klaus’ body in the hallway. Seeing Klaus still in a state of purgatory, Diego wrapped up his body with the rug and started taking his body downstairs. Suddenly, Klaus regained consciousness after exchanging some meaningful words with his mother in his afterlife vision.
What happened between Viktor and Harlan?
Episode 5 of The Umbrella Academy Season 3 also saw Viktor and Harlan having a serious altercation regarding past events, leading to a display of their powers which threw away both Viktor and Harlan across the room.
Viktor seemed angered regarding Harlan perishing those women, however, for Harlan, it was just a way of reaching out. Unfortunately, he ended up connecting with them. He tried to sever the bond, but it did not work as it was too late by then. Ever since Harlan has been hiding himself and his powers as well.
Later on, Harlan was seen deciding whether he should come clean to the Sparrow Academy and admit his fatal actions. Viktor seemed quite unsure about it and promised Harlan he would handle the matter himself before heading down to the ground floor.
Later on, Alison found Viktor sneaking Harlan out of the hotel. After that, she took over as the entire family evaded Viktor after finding out what had happened.
