The scene where The Handler convinces Lila that Diego was in on the fact that Five killed her parents is so funny to me because, obviously she’s lying about that, but also literally everything else she says is either a lie or a gross misunderstanding of the Hargreeves.
“[The Umbrella Academy] is not full of fools” debatable.
“They’re family. What one knows they all know.” Completely untrue. Half the family didn’t learn about the Commission til this season. No one ever told Klaus about the Swedes. Several of them never heard about Lila til episode 10. Anything to do with Ben. I could go on. “I didn’t think [Diego] was smart enough to pull this off.” “He isn’t. But Five is.” Debatable. On a good day Diego could double cross and manipulate someone. On a bad day Five can’t control his rage enough to convincingly lie to anyone.
“Diego listens to [Five] and trusts him.” First of all, Diego doesn’t listen to anybody. And secondly not even Five trusts Five.
“Five has been playing puppet master all this time.” Five wishes he could get his siblings to do one thing he tells them to.
