By majority vote, the surviving children of Reginald Hargreeves (from two different timelines) have chosen the oblivion of an apocalyptic death over the mystery of Hotel Oblivion. Allison, Lila, Klaus, and Ben are in Diego, Viktor, Luther, Sloane, and Five are out. Now it’s time to decide, once and for all: To save the universe or not to save the universe? It goes to a vote. Twice! But we’ve also seen Older Five warn his younger self to let the apocalypse happen, and we’ve seen other members of this family reach some measure of peace about the end of everything. The catch? They’ll need at least seven crew members to pull it off. At last, it’s Reginald who assembles everyone and makes one last-ditch pitch to save the world: Head through the special to the Hotel Oblivion, ring seven bells, and trigger a vaguely defined fail-safe that will put the whole universe back in order. Unfortunately, Five was also too drunk to remember who he saw.Īs Five racks his brain, we get a little tour of the post-wedding party, as everyone wakes up from their hangovers and stumbles around the Hotel Obsidian, trying to figure out what to do with their very limited time before the apocalypse kicks in. Five knows someone cut a sketchy deal with Reginald Hargreeves after the wedding. “Seven Bells” takes the form of a whodunnit, although it’s pretty half-hearted about it because the mystery hinges entirely on Five collecting his thoughts enough to remember something he already saw.
#Umbrella academy series
Clocking in at a slender 39 minutes - not just the shortest episode of the season, but the shortest episode of the series - “Seven Bells” is a freight train hurtling toward season three’s endgame: corralling every surviving Umbrella and Sparrow into the Hotel Oblivion.Īnd sadly, the list of surviving Umbrellas is a bit shorter by the episode’s end. After any good night of drinking comes the hangover - and after the low-key fun of “ Wedding at the End of the World,” this episode is a particularly nasty comedown.
