'The Umbrella Academy' Missed Its Chance To Make Five and Lila Work

With The Umbrella Academy officially over, the unconventional superhero series left fans with lots of unanswered questions. The most shocking plot twist of Season 4, that literally no one saw coming not even the actors playing the characters was the romance that grew between Five (Aidan Gallagher) and Lila (Ritu Arya). In Episode 5 of the finale, titled "Six Years, Five Months, and Two Days," Five and Lila get lost in an interdimensional subway as they try to save their timeline. The pair is shown stuck together for long enough that they start to depend and emotionally lean on each other. As time passes, an unexpected romance blooms between them. For many viewers, this romance might be difficult to digest given that Lila's relationship with Diego (David Castaeda) has been foundational to both characters' story arcs. But, on a character level, Lila and Five's relationship did have the potential to work, but unfortunately, the execution didn't work out.
