The Umbrella Academy may have ended , but like with any season of the show, it's worth rewatching to see all of the small clues and details you might have missed.

The series saw the Hargreeves adopted siblings sacrifice themself to The Cleanse — a world-ending monster created by Abigail Hargreeves ( Liisa Repo-Martell ) — to restore the world to a singular timeline and stop the apocalypse once and for all. The bittersweet ending means that the Hargreeves and Lila ( Ritu Arya ) are no more, but the people they left behind get to live normal and happy lives with no meteors, explosive blobs, or world-devouring creatures destroying everything.

It may have been hard to spot some of the Easter Eggs in the final season with how emotional things were getting, but Parade has a list of things you might have missed in The Umbrella Academy Season 4.

Jean and Gene's barn

Jean ( Megan Mullaly ) and Gene ( Nick Offerman ) lead the fringe group trying to reunite the timelines by initiating another apocalypse in Season 4. They've been collecting evidence of blurred timelines throughout the years and keeping the artifacts in their barn, where at one point they attempt to keep Jennifer ( Victoria Sawal ) contained.

The barn is a treasure trove of nods to previous seasons, including possessions of Hazel ( Cameron Britton ) and Cha-Cha ( Mary J. Blige ), things from the farmhouse where Viktor ( Elliot Page ) took refuge in Season 2, and items from The Oblivion Hotel in Season 3.

The Minerva

The Minerva is Reginald's spaceship. It is seen throughout The Umbrella Academy graphic novels, but was only briefly glimpsed in the series until Season 4. In a flashback to The Jennifer Incident (more on that below), Pogo is seen flying Reginald's ship that he used to traverse worlds and to originally pick up the children after they were born.

The Jennifer incident

One of the most shocking twists of The Umbrella Academy Season 4 was the reveal that in the first timeline, Reginald killed the original Ben after he came into contact with Jennifer. Reginald shot Ben and Jennifer immediately after they came into contact to prevent "The Cleanse" from beginning in that timeline.

"The Jennifer Incident" is a massive storyline in The Umbrella Academy graphic novels, and the show has been building to that storyline since early on. Showrunner Steve Blackman revealed to Tudum on Netflix that Klaus references "The Jennifer Incident" in Season 2 when he's riding with Reginald, and the original Ben drew pictures of a Jennifer that were decorating his room before they came into contact. The hints that the show would eventually showcase "The Jennifer Incident" have been there all along.

Five's time-travel subway notebook

Five ( Aidan Gallagher ) and Lila ( Ritu Arya ) spend seven years traversing through different apocalyptic timelines via a time-travel subway in the final season before stopping to take a break. They consider giving up the ghost of finding their way home until Five finds an old notebook of his that decodes the time-hopping subway map. The cover of Five's notebook is the logo from the Meritech company in Season 1, which Blackman explained to is an old alchemy symbol.

The final timeline

After the Hargreeves sacrifice themselves to The Cleanse, the world is returned to one orderly timeline without heroes. The show's final scenes showcase this timeline and its population of beloved characters from seasons past including The Handler ( Kate Walsh ), Hazel ( Cameron Britton ), and Agnes ( Sheila McCarthy ). Dot ( Patricia Goodman ) can be seen at a picnic table with Herb ( Ken Hall, who also did the motion-capture performance of Pogo). Gabriel Bá, the illustrator of the graphic novels, is also seen drawing Dot and Herb. Bá's brother Fabio is also one of the extras in the background, according to Blackman.
