How Reginald Knew Lila's Big Umbrella Academy Season 3 Secret
Warning! SPOILERS for The Umbrella Academy season 3.
Reginald Hargreeves knew Lila's big secret in The Umbrella Academy season 3 — but how? The Umbrella Academy season 3 sees the Hargreeves siblings come face to face with their replacements known in The Umbrella Academy as the Sparrow Academy after they changed the timeline with their antics in 1960s Dallas. Reginald's return is a surprising consequence of this new timeline as well, as he had originally died back in season 1. Along with Reginald's reappearance comes the return of the infamous monocle he wears, which may explain how he knew that Lila was pregnant without her telling him.
Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy dove deeper into who Reginald is, where he comes from, and what his master plan was. Though season 2 had already revealed that Reginald is actually an alien, it was still unclear what his purpose was on Earth, or why he had decided to adopt seven children with superpowers. Season 3 finally revealed the answer to that mystery, as he needed seven people to activate the machine inThe Umbrella Academy's Hotel Oblivion, so that he could rewrite reality to one that suited him. He succeeded – the members of the Umbrella Academy lost their superpowers, reality was rewritten, and his wife Abigail is now alive.

In the comics, there's a more concrete explanation as to how that's possible, and it seems that the latest season of The Umbrella Academy may be leaning in that direction as well.
