SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the Loki Season 2 finale. Click away now if you do not want to know how the episode unfolds.
Strap in, because the Loki Season 2 finale is quite the doozy.
Episode 5 left many questions still to be answered. It ends with Tom Hiddleston’s titular character, who has just learned how to control his time slipping, returning to the moment right before Victor Timely (Jonathan Majors) is ripped to shreds while trying to amplify the temporal loom.
Well, as Episode 6 opens, Loki stands back and watches it happen again before asking O.B. (Ke Huy Quan) what they did wrong. O.B. says they weren’t fast enough. So, Loki thinks he just needs to get everyone to hustle.
He proceeds to return to that moment over and over again, rushing through the instructions for putting the multiplier into the loom, trying to get Victor to have some pep in his step. But no matter how fast they go, Victor gets turned to spaghetti every single time. Finally, Loki realizes they don’t need to move faster in that moment. He needs to go back to an earlier moment.
Loki then time slips back to the moment that Victor and O.B. first meet. He speeds through their introduction and tries to get O.B. working on the multiplier using Victor’s prototype, but O.B. is a bit cautious, because he still doesn’t fully understand how to solve the problem since he and Victor haven’t brainstormed. As much as Loki would like to help in this moment, he’s not the expert in theoretical physics. Or, is he?
Loki asks O.B. how long it would take for him to learn everything O.B. can teach him about the subject. He says decades, and Victor thinks it would take centuries. Good thing Loki can come back to this exact moment at any time.
So
