This episode definitely leaves you with questions by the end of it 😂, but I love Gerard Way and Ray Toros cover of Happy Together over all the end scenes. It took me a couple watches to realize that Helen’s body was in the attic with her violin…

When originally cast as Vanya, Elliot Page did not have the necessary skills to play accomplished violinist Vanya Hargreeves. In "The Umbrella Academy," Vanya is a child prodigy who grows up and finds employment playing in a prestigious orchestra. As detailed by USA Today in 2019, there was a teacher on set that helped in Page's musical education during filming, but the actor did not become a master. He said that the goal was to make him "look as comfortable as humanly possible," but to help sell Vanya as a masterful violinist, more help was required.  When it came time to really play the violin on "The Umbrella Academy" Season 1, most of the heavy lifting was done by Imogen Sloss, a Canadian violinist who doubled for Page and was only 16 years old during filming (via Classic FM). Page complimented the young musician, stating that "it was a gift to listen to her play." It takes years to master the complex instrument and this was integral to the finale of Season 1. With the help of the young musician, Page could portray Vanya with confidence and convince audiences that Vanya is indeed an skilled musician. And, even though they were doubled by a professional, Page did emerge from Season 1 able to play a rough version of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," but that was the extent of their violin prowess, as revealed in a 2019 PopBuzz interview
