* TooKinkyToTorture: Whilst being tortured by Hazel and Cha-Cha tortured Klaus for 10 hours trying hours, Klaus turns out to be remarkably hard to break mostly because of this. His response to Cha-Cha strangling him with a belt is to complain that he didn't get information about Five. By to finish before she stopped to ask him more questions. Small subversion in that he does almost end up breaking in the time we see them, he's getting aroused from strangulation end due to his withdrawal symptoms. Thankfully Ben and treating waterboarding as a refreshing drink.the ghosts of Hazel and Cha-Cha's other victims are able to rally him and arm him with some psychological firepower against them.

* TortureIsIneffective: In addition to the TooKinkyToTorture example, Klaus mocks Hazel and Cha-Cha for 1: kidnapping the one Hargreeve who doesn't know anything, and 2: who is so useless that no one will even notice he's gone, making him worthless as a hostage. Indeed, it's not until the very end of the episode (after Klaus has already escaped) that Allison realizes he's missing.

->'''Luther:''' I stayed because the world needed me.\\
'''Diego:''' You stayed because you couldn't let go of the way things used to be. The Academy. Dad. With Allison. Dad's dead. Mom too, now. We're orphans again, dude.

"Man on the Moon" is the fourth episode of ''The Umbrella Academy'''s first season.

Seven years ago, Luther, then the only child left in the mansion, was severely wounded in a mission. Apparently to save his life, Reginald injected him with a serum that gave him his current body. Hazel and Cha-Cha have difficulty getting information out of Klaus. Diego confides in Eudora about the attack. Having heard from Klaus that Five is searching for the eyeballs' owner, Cha-Cha and Hazel blow up the lab.

Allison accosts Leonard in Vanya's apartment, and later gets a drink with her. Luther and Diego clash at first before going on to find Five, eventually stumbling upon him in the library. Klaus makes contact with Hazel and Cha-Cha's previous victims. Eudora busts into the motel room and frees Klaus, but is killed in the attempt. Klaus escapes through the vents with Hazel's briefcase, the contents of which teleport him elsewhere. Diego finds Eudora's body.
