About 5mins into the first episode one of the sibs just kinda goes "does this mean saving the world isn't really our responsibility anymore?"
The rest of the sibs pause, take a beat, then huddle together whispering furiously while the sparrows stand there and are a little like wtf. They are shushed, harshly, when they try to interrupt.
The umbrella academy take a vote. It's unanimous.
They flip Reggie the bird, slide emo!ben a forwarding address and peace the fuck out of there.
They end up in Malibu. None of them actually knows how they ended up in Malibu. But it's sunny. Different.
It's worth trying to make it work.
They go househunting. Everyone finds the perfect place for themselves that is exactly to their taste but still manage to find something wrong with it and passing.
3 months of living in a tiny rental together Five finally says fuck it and lays down hard commission cash on a mansion close to the beach that can fit all of them.
Everyone hates it. They complain vigorously even as the unpack all their shit and claim their rooms.
Emo!ben shows up. He's weird. Like really weird.
The rest of the season is just sitcom moments of them adjusting to their new life and navigating social norms.
(Allison is the most adjusted. Diego is investigating the mailman for a possible serial murder.)
Eventually they think maybe, just maybe, they might be somewhere in the vicinity of being happy.
