->''"Plenty of time to restore the timeline."''
-->-- '''Hazel'''

"Right Back Where We Started" is the first episode of ''The Umbrella Academy'''s second season.

Five lands in Dallas in 1963, in the middle of a battleground where the Soviets are about to nuke the United States. Although he sees his family fighting the Soviets, Hazel pulls him out of the way just as a nuclear missile strikes the city. Hazel brings him ten days earlier and manages to reveal that the world ended that day before he is killed by a trio of gunmen, leaving it up to Five to find his siblings. With the help of a TV salesman/conspiracy theorist named Elliot, Five learns that his siblings landed in the same place at different times.

Diego has landed in an asylum for his ramblings that JFK is going to be assassinated in a week. An amnesiac Vanya has landed in the custody of Carl and Sissy, a husband and wife, and their son Harlan. Klaus ended up in San Francisco and is en route back to Dallas, Ben in tow. Allison has found a loving husband in fellow civil rights activist Raymond, while Luther is doing underground cage matches.

In the middle of Diego's escape attempt, the same gunmen who killed Hazel attack the facility. He is assisted by a fellow inmate, Lila, and the two manage to break out. Five meets with Luther at a club, but the latter rejects his plea to help him stop the apocalypse.
