This week on Loki, we went again in time. All the best way again to the nineteenth century, in reality. While the primary two episodes of Season 2 have primarily handled the direct fallout from the Season 1 finale, this episode really strikes the story ahead in a significant manner. It simply so occurs that in order to maneuver ahead, that they had to return. Really makes you suppose.

After some shenanigans on a reasonably cool wanting previous ferris wheel, to not point out a relatively massive distraction by Miss Minutes, Timely finally ends up with Renslayer and Miss Minutes at his lab in Wisconsin. Miss Minutes will get a bit unhinged–she clearly had a factor for He Who Remains, and is having a meltdown over assembly this new variant of him. So Renslayer shuts her down.
And then Loki and Mobius lastly catch up, with Sylvie shut behind. Sylvie decides to spare Timely since he hasn’t carried out any of the dangerous stuff but, and then she sends Renslayer to the top of time so she will see that complete mess together with her personal eyes. And now Loki has to clarify all this insanity to Victor.
