[[folder: Klause role in missions]]

* Was Reginald originally going to double-cross Allison during the universal reset? He ''did'' prevent her from going and power the machine, but was that really his plan all along? He entered Hotel Oblivion with only seven children in total, including Allison, while Klaus' reappearance seemed to be a SpannerInTheWorks rather than part of his plan. Was he going to sacrifice Allison too but decided against it only when an eight option became available?

* It's mentioned in the beginning of season 3 that in the new timeline, only 16 women gave birth instead of 43. Considering we find out that this is because {spoiler: Harlan felt Vanya being born and tried to reach out to her, but accidentally killed their mothers before they could be born instead.} If that's the case, why did the other 20 mothers die as well, considering {spoiler: Harlan} most likely didn't come into contact with them? What was special about the 16 mothers that prevented them from being killed?

** While Victor forced Reginald's hand. I wouldn't be surprised if Reginald figured he needed a loyal durable nanny to deal with all the kids powers as they grew older(plus have someone he had total control over). Clearly though the Sparrows didn't see her as a mother. Maybe she came into play far later in their lives.

** Luther absolutely had super strength before his injection. In the first episode he is shown throwing fully grown men 20 feet in the air effortlessly at thirteen. And with all Vanya’s angst about being the ordinary one, of course he had actual powers as a child. Especially to be Number One.

* Also, why did no one questioned Klaus when he sayed that Ben wasn't with them? Like, they didn't believe his word in S1 and they don't see to trust him very much in S2, they've must been ''desperate'' to talk to Ben again after seeing Klaus manifest him in the Icarus Theater ''and'' Five '''saw''' him fighting with the others when he was dropped in November 25.

* For that matter, why is the Umbrella Academy so eager to cut a deal with Sparrow!Ben - who has tried to kill them on multiple occasions and seems extremely unstable and untrustworthy - over Harlan, who just saved their lives? Why do they repeatedly insist on the importance of working with the Sparrow Academy when Harlan shows every indication of being more powerful and knowing more about the details of how their powers work? What if cooperating with ''Harlan'' offered more opportunities to resolve the Kugelblitz?

** She voted for them to go through the door in exchange for him bringing her family back.

* What was Allison's part in Reggie's plan? When she was caught making the deal, I sort of imagined she would rumor everyone into going to Oblivion if they didn't comply, but Reggie assures the project goes as planned by himself, and until the end she does nothing for his success she wouldn't do by her own will. Then what was the deal about?

** She likely already knew how to play (although this troper questions whether the Handler would have allowed it). And another question is how she could afford a set of drums; perhaps she used the briefcase to steal them, since it didn't shut down until after she came to the Kugelblitzing 2019.
