The Umbrella Academy Season 2 Hargreeves Time Travel Guide: SPOILERS

At 3 am ET on Friday morning, the Hargreeves siblings were sprinkled all across the city of Dallas' timestream as Netflix's The Umbrella Academy came storming back into our lives for a second season. While we're holding our cards close to our chest regarding our review of the season (posting this weekend), we will say that there's a lot going on right from the start. You already know that Five (Aidan Gallagher) grabbed his family and time jumped to safety at the end of last season, and between teasers and trailers we know that they ended up in Dallas in the early 1960's. Small problem: they didn't land at the same time. Literally. As you're about to see. What follows is an official look at where (and when) the Hargreeves ended up as well as a glimpse at what they did when they got there. It should go without saying that we have quite a few MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! moments ahead, so tread carefully:

Luther (Tom Hopper) lands in 1962, working as a driver for the owner of a burlesque bar (John Kapelos), who becomes a sort of father figure for him. When he's not looking for his family, or racing with Five to stop the nuclear doomsday and get back to 2019, he's using his super strength in underground boxing rings.

Diego (David Castañeda) lands on September 1, 1963, getting himself locked up for delusional claims about JFK being assassinated. He breaks out of the hospital with his new friend Lila (Ritu Arya), for whom he starts to develop feelings. Per usual, he wants to save both the day and the president all on his own to prove to the family he has worth and can make a difference in the world.

Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) lands in 1961, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. Thrown into a segregated and racist American south that she now must endure, Allison faces both the loss of her voice and being separated from her siblings. As her time in Dallas progresses, she finds new purpose in the fight for justice, until reuniting with her family pulls her back into their fight against the apocalypse.

Ben (Justin Min) lands in February 1960, haunting Klaus with his conscience, wisdom, and sense of humor. But this time, he's determined not to be invisible to the ones he loves, willing to go further than ever to make his presence known.

Vanya (Ellen Page) lands on October 12, 1963, with a memory erased from the time jump. While she's stuck looking for answers about her past, she falls for an unexpected love interest. Vanya is taken in by a family and forms a unique bond with the son. Before long, she rediscovers her mysterious ability, which helps Five track her down and reunites her with her siblings.

Five warned his family (so, so many times) that using his powers to escape from Vanya's 2019 apocalypse was risky. Well, he was right – the time jump scatters the siblings in time in and around Dallas, Texas. Over a three year period. Starting in 1960. Some, having been stuck in the past for years, have built lives and moved on, certain they're the only ones who survived. Five is the last to land, smack dab in the middle of a nuclear doomsday, which – spoiler alert! – turns out is a result of the group's disruption of the timeline (déjà vu, anyone?).

The Umbrella Academy must find a way to reunite, figure out what caused doomsday, put a stop to it, and return to the present timeline to stop that other apocalypse. All while being hunted by a trio of ruthless Swedish assassins. Joining them on their time-twisted mission are Texas housewife Sissy; a devoted husband and natural-born leader, Raymond; and "chameleon" Lila, who can be as brilliant or as clinically insane as the situation requires. Unpredictable, mischievous, and sarcastic, Lila's gifted with a twisted sense of humor.
