Warning: Major spoilers ahead for season four of "The Umbrella Academy.'"
After five years, Netflix's adaptation of the Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá comic book series "The Umbrella Academy" has come to an end.
The six-episode fourth season, released on Thursday, picks up six years after the timeline is reset in the season three finale. After being thrust into a new world, the now-powerless adoptive Hargreeves siblings go their separate ways. The dysfunctional family eventually reunites to rescue a mysterious woman named Jennifer (Victoria Sawal).
The rescue mission proves to be more complicated. In order to eliminate the infinite alternate timelines and prevent an extinction-level event called the Cleanse, Five devises a plan that requires him, Luther (Tom Hopper), Diego (David Castañeda), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Viktor (Elliot Page), and Lila (Ritu Arya) to sacrifice themselves.
The finale ends with the siblings successfully eliminating the other timelines in favor of a single, peaceful timeline inhabited by their loved ones and other characters from past seasons of "The Umbrella Academy," including Allison's daughter Claire (Millie Davis), Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins), and The Handler (Kate Walsh).
Unfortunately, the sacrifice means that the Hargreeves and Lila have been erased from history. Although no one has any memory of them in this timeline, the finale pays homage by including an end-credits scene that shows eight marigolds rapidly blooming in a patch of soil near a tree.
