The Umbrellas (plus Sloane and Ben-the only two Sparrows who survived the Kugelblitz and/or other fights) wind up inside the dimension within Hotel Oblivion and, ultimately, suckered into powering up Hargreeves' machine.
We do, however, see what happens as a result. Allison, however, makes a secret bargain with him to convince the family to join him-and we're never actually told what that bargain is or was. Reginald gives them the pitch about Hotel Oblivion being a means to save the world, but the team is unable to come to a consensus as to whether or not they should trust him. They ultimately fail, however, and are forced to turn to Reginald for possible solutions. So, in the midst of all their personal problems (Diego and Lila may have a kid, Luthor falls in love, Five wants to retire, Viktor must deal with a figure from his past, Klaus is being manipulated by Reginald, and Allison is consumed by PTSD and grief causing her to turn her back on the family) and with the universe slowly ending, the Umbrellas and the Sparrows try to work out ways to stop the Kugelblitz. The problem is the machine that can create the universe needs seven super powered people to run it. Within this hotel there's a secret pocket dimension, protected by monstrous Guardians, that holds the key to creating a brand new universe. This, of course, is a lie-and it turns out that Reginald has actually been (unsurprisingly) manipulating everyone in an effort to funnel seven of his children (he doesn't particularly care if they're Sparrows or Umbrellas) into a secret project he's been organizing for decades within a building he constructed called the Hotel Oblivion. While this is happening, several other mysteries unfold with the most important revolving around Reginald Hargreeves himself, who manages to convince Klaus that he's a changed man in this reality and wants to be a good father. It turns out three back to back existential crises isn't fun for anyone and the option of just allowing the universe to end is definitely on the table. So settling into their new lives isn't an option, the Umbrellas, with the reluctant help of the Sparrows, must figure out what's happening and stop the Kugelblitz-or just let it go. But there's a problem-the incongruities in time and space have created what Five calls a Kugelblitz, an anomaly that is growing larger and larger until it finally consumes all reality and destroys the universe.
So the Umbrellas have been replaced by the Sparrows, a well oiled fighting machine who are basically better and more successful than the Umbrellas in every way.
By interacting with their father in the past, they've inspired him to adopt better children-which is totally possible, after all, they weren't the only mystery babies to be born that day back in 1989. We learn right off the bat that this new present day the Hargreeves family is in has been drastically changed. We're going to break the whole thing down for you here, but please be warned if you haven't finished Season 3, there are major spoilers ahead-and most of them probably won't make a lot of sense if you're not at least mostly caught up on the Umbrella Academy as a whole. This season took things bigger and, somehow, weirder than ever before-and we don't say that lightly, considering Season 2 saw them time traveling the '50s and facing off with a group of Swedish assassins and also a man who was actually a sentient goldfish on robotic body. You know, regular dysfunctional family stuff. Umbrella Academy Season 3 has arrived on Netflix, and the Hargreeves family is up to their usual antics of squabbling with each other and facing down a massive, cosmic-level threat that may or may not consume all reality.
