Last episode, the time door opens to the Roxxcart future, Hunter B-15 wants t know what Sylvie saw in her head. B-15 says she was created by the Time-Keepers, Sylvie gives her the hard truth, all of the TVA are variants! She wants Sylvie to show her earlier life, B-15 says, “I looked happy”, great performance! Mobius gets privacy at the empty book shelves. He uses Ravonna’s TemPad that he swiped and plays Hunter C-20 speaking to the court about the truth. Trying to stop her is Ravonna, Mobius knows that she is behind all of the lies. Loki is back in the time cell expecting Sif to give him another thrashing. Mobius appears and asks him if he cares about the Variant, he wants to know if he can trust the Lokis, the god of mischief says, “How about the word of a friend?” This is great acting. They return to Mobius’ office and see Ravonna with some guards.
He returns her TemPad. Mobius wonders about his other life and if he had a jet ski. Ravonna gives the order to prune Mobius! Loki is shocked at the death of his friend and taken by the guards to the elevator. Ravonna walks into Sylvie’s room and knows that someone had visited her. The guard replies Hunter B-15 and Ravonna orders an alert for B-15. Sylvie smiles at Ravonna and then taken to the elevator. Ravonna uses her control on their collars to take them into the elevator. Sylvie asks about her nexus event on Asgard, Ravonna smugly smiles and says she doesn’t remember the event. The elevator door opens and they are taken to the Time-Keepers. Loki defies the Time-Keepers threat of death. Sylvie is given the time twister treatment from Ravonna. Then, the elevator door opens to Hunter B-15.
She throws Sylvie a sword and fights the guards. They fight and Sylvie gives Loki the sword. Sylvie picks up a TVA baton and faces Ravonna with her baton. They are defeated and Sylvie throws the sword decapitating the lead Time-Keeper. The others laugh as his head rolls down the steps. Then, they shut down, Sylvie looks at the Time-Keeper’s head, he was an android! Loki has a moment with Sylvie, trying to tell her a secret, and then is pruned by Ravonna! Nooooo! Sylvie swipes away her TVA baton and wants to know the whole truth. The mid-credit scene has more surprises, Loki gasps, a voice replies that he is not dead! He sees other Lokis!; an older Loki played by Richard E. Grant, a Loki (Deobia Oparei), his name is Boastful Loki, with black armor and a hammer, Kid Loki (Jack Veal) who also has a Loki alligator! The title of the episode is a nod to the comic book that introduced Loki and Thor. It opens with moments from the mid-credit scene. The TVA continues to be a bustle of activity.
There is some spinning pans while we get to the elevator and then the Time-Keepers room. This shifts to the misty world where there is the Lighthouse of Pharos and a ruined city. Past it is a dark storm approaching. Older Loki called Classic Loki explains his questions that they are in the Void. The storm is called Alioth, some kind of creature, with a bear like, dark face and glowing eyes and mouth. Alioth? Like Goliath without the G? Sylvie takes Ravonna’s TemPad and Ravonna replies she doesn’t know who created the TVA. Ravonna says Loki is still alive. She explains that Variants that are pruned to the Void at the end of time. Back in the Void, there is a pirate ship and a flying saucer, the Lokis are on the run, but Loki wants answers. He angrily questions them, Kid Loki has a sword appear in his hands saying that shouting will draw Alioth. He goes on to say that the Void is a dumping ground for the TVA. Loki tries to work out how to escape, Classic Loki says they should just survive, and to respect Kid Loki, it is his kingdom. Loki asks what is his nexus event and Kid Loki says he killed Thor!
They reach a hill and Classic Loki opens a hatch, the Lokis descend a ladder to safety, they ask Loki why he wants to return to the TVA. Ravonna asks Miss Minutes to find the beinning of the TVA. Sylvie is trying to go through optiions to find Loki. There seems to be no way to get to the Void. Sylvie is about to prune Ravonna, but Miss Minutes brings up the Void spacecraft. Guards break in and Sylvie kicks Ravonna to leap away from her. Ravonna motions for the guards to close in on Sylvie. She says she can put Sylvie in a time loop with a good memory. Sylvie is asked about a good memory and her answer is to activate the TVA baton and use it on herself! Boastful Loki says he killed Iron Man and Captain America. Loki wants to escape the Void and brings up all of the descriptions of Alioth including what was said by Kid Loki on his throne. He wants to kill Alioth and his rousing speech only gets laughs from the other Lokis. Then, Loki leaves them opens the hatch and sees more Lokis lined up looking at him, including President Loki! They get into a battle, Loki escapes with Classic, Kid, and Alligator Loki. Sylvie wakes up and tries to escape Alioth only to be found by Mobius in a pizza delivery car! They all have to team up to escape the Void. The Loki episode is back to surreal comedy that looks like a return to the TVA from the Void!
