The Keepers set a blockade around Ben and Jennifer’s building, where their bodies have been severely mutated as a result of them interacting with each other. Viktor tries purging the durango now inside Ben, but fails and Ben and Jennifer merge to become the Cleanse.

Abigail, hidden inside the body of Gene Thibedeau, kills his wife Jean when she begins to get suspicious. With both Thibedeau’s dead, Abigail tells Reginald that she brought about the Cleanse because she shouldn’t have been brought back to life, and the timeline should be reset again.

Meanwhile the Umbrella Academy team up to try but fail to stop the Bennifer creature as the combined powers of Durango and Marigold inside them is overwhelming.

Five, dejected at failing to stop the Cleanse, rides the timeline subway alone, until he meets Fives from other timelines. They tell him that there is only supposed to be one timeline, and the splitting and merging of timelines, as well as the constant threat of apocalypses, is due to the existence of the marigold and their families.

When Reginald first released the marigold in 1989, a side effect of women getting pregnant was also the creation of multiple timelines. Five goes back to his siblings, and tells them they need to let the Cleanse absorb them and their marigold. In doing so, they will cease to exist, but will also create only one singular timeline without any apocalypses. Lila saves her family and Allison’s daughter Claire, then joins the siblings as they all get absorbed, destroying all but one timeline.

In the one timeline, with the Marigold and Durango destroyed, friends and foes of the past live out their normal lives on a typical day where nothing exceptional happens. Finally the Umbrella Academy saved the day.

Five and Lila get lost for over six years while traveling through the timeline subway system. Viktor and Reginald contact Ben and try to warn him about interacting with Jennifer, but he ignores their warnings. However, Jennifer starts feeling sick. Sy informs the Keepers about Ben’s role with Jennifer, and recommends keeping Ben’s siblings away from him.

The Keepers set a trap that kills Reginald’s men and injures Viktor. At the CIA headquarters, Luther realizes Five’s boss, Ribbons, is a member of the Keepers, leading to Luther and Diego fighting their way out of the CIA. Gene distrusts Sy, and tells him to leave. Sy, revealed to be Abigail in disguise, kills Gene and disguises herself as him, just as the Keepers are informed of Ben and Jennifer’s current whereabouts.

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.
