'The Umbrella Academy': What happens at end of season 1 of Netflix series, and what does it spell for season 2?

'The Umbrella Academy' has taken us on one hell of a roller coaster ride in it's first season, and here's how it will affect our super heroes in season 2?

'The Umbrella Academy' has finished its first season, and fans of the show were left with a pretty solid cliffhanger. The series follows a family of seven superpowered individuals who were adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves in order to be the superheroes of tomorrow.

Six of the family members have superpowers, while a shy Vanya Hargreeves is considered the black sheep of the family for purportedly not having any powers. We believed so too until we see her as the White Violin, the one who's responsible for the destruction of Earth, an eventuality the family has trained all their life to prevent.
