Sparrow Ben Had Sketches Of Jennifer In The Umbrella Academy Season 3

Sparrow Ben Supposedly Knovel Jennifer Already

Umbrella Ben died when they were 16 years elderly, but his siblings never spoke about what happened to him. In season 3, his death was referred to as “the Jennifer incident”, but season 4 discdiswatched that the Reginald from their timeline had messed with their memories so they wouldn’t recall he ended Jennifer and Ben to stop the apocalypse. When the Umbrellas get tod at the Sparrow Academy’s timeline at the finish of season 2, they lacquireed Ben was ainhabit and well and part of the Sparrow team, and to their surpelevate, the “Jennifer incident” also happened in that timeline, but branch offently.

The Umbrella Academy season 3 showed that Ben had sketches of Jennifer in his room, but it’s unrecognizable what happened to her in that timeline and what exactly the “Jennifer incident” in the Sparrow timeline was about. It was understood that the “Jennifer incident” left Sparrow Ben shockd, and maybe his way of coping was by drathriveg Jennifer.

Ben’s Memories Might Have Been Changed

The Reginald from the first timeline messed with the Hargreeves’ memories to produce them forget exactly how Ben died, so it could be possible that the one in the Sparrow timeline did the same so they would forget the details of the “Jennifer incident”.

It’s also possible that Ben’s sketches were what he thought Jennifer would watch enjoy as a increasen-up as he met her when they were youthful, which would partiassociate elucidate why he didn’t acunderstandledge her, but doesn’t compriseress the fact that he knovel his team had already had a traumatic experience with a Jennifer.
