Victor Timely, a variant of He Who Remains, is brought to the TVA by Loki and Mobius in the hopes that his temporal aura will help them override the blast doors and gain access to the temporal loom, which is on the verge of a meltdown. Sylvie tags along, because the plot must go on. OB, played by universal treasure, Ke Huy Quan, has been working on a plan to fix the temporal loom, but things aren't going well until Victor arrives to help him fix it. With them on the job, Mobius suggests pie, Sylvie tears his ass a new one, leading to a great conversation between Loki and Sylvie about having hope and playing Gods. Yes, Loki has hope that they will fix this whole problem at the TVA...the poor idiot.
Meanwhile, the psychotic clock of my nightmares, Miss Minutes, reveals that Ravonna played a huge part in the multiversal war, before having her memories wiped. Ravonna and Miss Minutes then travel to the TVA to try and take control, and bring Brad/X-5 onto their side after a horrific scene wherein Dox and other imprisoned Minutemen are crushed to death. Miss Minutes grins the entire time, the crazy fucker.
Brad then goes and grabs Victor, who was just trying to enjoy some hot cocoa, and brings him to Ravonna and that goddamn clock - who locks everyone out of the system. Loki and Sylvie get separated, Loki ends up pruning the Loki from episode 1 (we're in the future now, folks!), and Loki promises that this will all make sense...this remains to be seen. Oh and the ringing phone they made a big deal out of in episode 1? Just OB. Anyway, OB overrides Miss Minutes and reboots her completely, in the process taking away all magic nullifiers in the TVA. Loki and Sylvie approve! This allows Sylvie to enchant Brad and prune Ravonna, while Victor and Loki get away. The three of them head to the temporal loom and gain access, thanks to Victor, who bravely volunteers to go and fix the thing. However, the radiation is at far higher levels than it was when Mobius went out there.
Will Victor make it and save the day? Absolutely not, he is turned into spaghetti immediately. Like, literally. Oh, and the temporal loom explodes and we're subjected to a Sopranos cut to black ending because fuck my life.
