One of them Umbrella Academy The third season’s multiple turning point was Sloane’s sudden disappearance after the reset. Fans and Luther wondered what happened to him while waiting for the fourth season of the Netflix series.
At the end of season three, Allison presses a button to reset the universe in a last ditch effort to stop the apocalypse. While it saved the world from destruction, it also brought the Hargreeves (and Lila) into a whole new timeline and stripped them of their superpowers.
The last two members of Sparrow Academy standing at the end of the season—Sloane and an alternate universe version of Ben—were with the others when Allison hit the reset button. However, only one (Ben) appeared with the others in the new timeline, much to Luther’s chagrin as he had found his soulmate and wife in Sloane.

Is Sloane in Umbrella Academy Season 4?
Warning – The rest of this article contains spoilers Umbrella Academy season 4
Genesis Rodriguez’s Sloane just won’t appear in Season 4 Umbrella Academy, but his disappearance is never explained by the time the series finale airs.
Technically, Sloane appears in the recap of Season 3, Episode 10 at the beginning of Season 4, but she is not shown in the new footage. He can be seen in Season 4, Episode 1 at timecodes 1:11, 1:18, 1:24, 1:26, 1:35, 1:40, and 2:04.
Sloane is mentioned at least once in the last six episodes of the series. At around timecode 26:26 in Episode 4, Episode 1, Luther responds to Diego’s frustration at the stress he’s under on his marriage and children by saying: “Some people would kill to have what you have. You know? I mean, I know Sloane and I would have killed to have this.”
He is referred to, but not by name, a few times in the final season. First, in the recap, when Hargreeves first appears in the reset timeline, Luther asks Five, “Where is he, Five?” Then, throughout the season, Ben refers to the fact that his universe’s family died (though again, Sloane was never shown to die like the other sparrows).

What could have happened to Sloane?
Sloane’s disappearance makes no sense narratively, and it’s hard to speculate what happened to her.
Assuming the reset meant the Sparrows never existed, Sparrow Ben shouldn’t have reappeared with the Umbrella Academy members.
If Umbrella Ben had appeared after the reset, that would be different because it would mean that Umbrella Ben never died because there was never an Umbrella Academy. But Sparrow Ben and Sloane are from the same universe, so there shouldn’t be any difference in how the reset affects their existence.
The theory that maybe Sloane survived the reset but is living a normal life because she was never admitted to Sparrow Academy fails on the same grounds. Again, Sparrow Ben and Sloane should see the same fate.
Also, why wouldn’t the same thing have happened to the Umbrella Academy since in this timeline they were never recruited there?
The reason for Sloane’s disappearance is hard to pin down, and not having one in Season 4 could aggravate fans waiting to find out.
All four seasons Umbrella Academy stream on Netflix.
