We're onto the second episode of Season 3 of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, and that means it's time to listen back to the predictions we made for this episode immediately after watching "Meet the Family" (oh dear...) but we ALSO get to talk about that touching scene between Viktor and Allison, how the Sparrows treat their special guests, and what on earth is going on with Stanley's leaky ear. Plus favourite small recruit #4 (AKA Klaus Hargreeves) gets some good plot-advancing info from the womenfolk!

At the start of this season of The Umbrella Academy, Josh and Mia talk about making the acquaintance of a whole new set of Hargreeveses - aka the Sparrows - and what it means for our Brellies. And amid the dance break and the fighting, there's another character we couldn't leave out - she's a slutty old dame and she goes by the name of the Hotel Obsidian! But before you listen, please, a moment of silence for Mr Pennycrumb - he was too good for this timeline...

Since we recorded this episode, Elliot Page, the actor who plays Vanya Hargreeves, has announced that he is trans, and uses he/they pronouns. We don’t think there are any instances in this episode where we use their deadname or misgender them, but sincerely apologise if we’ve missed any.  WARNING: this episode contains spoilers for the whole of Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy! Content note: this episode also contains discussions about homophobia.  Part 2 of our episode on ‘Öga for Öga’ is here! In this episode, we follow Five, Diego and Luther as they split up to bring their siblings back together. We talk Klaus & Ben (Klen? Blaus?), why Reginald Hargreeves is the patriarchy, and how Allison FINALLY mentions Claire! Fancy featuring on the podcast?
