The Umbrella Academy finally remembered that Diego used to be a vigilante, but it took them two years.
TV shows tend to forget things from past seasons, leading to dropped storylines and unanswered questions that can be really frustrating.
But every once in a while, they randomly pick back up a storyline from seasons before, or make a nod to a disappeared character that tells us they didn’t actually forget. Sometimes, it’s just a little reference to the storyline, and sometimes, they fully pick it back up.
Here are 19 times TV shows finally seemed to remember old storylines, and either picked them back up, gave them some resolution, or just provided a cute nod to them:
1.
Remember how Diego started out The Umbrella Academy as a vigilante? He was a much more serious character, and it seemed like this would be a major plot point, but then it was just sort of…dropped.
But not to worry! Because the show finally remembered the moment in the middle of Season 3, when Diego briefly mentions his past to Allison.
2.
You probably want to forget, but I’m sure we all remember El’s sister Kali from that one Stranger Things…
