Loki Season 2 Episode 5 Recap & Speculation: Another Variant?

Loki season 2, episode 4 is a rollercoaster ride filled with time-twisting shenanigans and a riveting climax that leads to the final showdown in the last two episodes.

The last episode ends with Victor Timely getting spaghetti-fied by the power of the Temporal Loom. Is this the end of this variant of Kang? Will new variants rise? Why is Ouroboros digging his own grave? These are some of the burning questions that need to be answered in the last two episodes of the series.

So, what will happen next week? Without further ado, let’s dive right into the good stuff!

1. Episode 5 Synopsis/Speculation

The Temporal Loom explosion at the end of this week’s episode leaves the fate of everyone hanging. We only see Victor Timely getting shredded by the exponential radiation.

However, the fates of Loki, Sylvie, Ouroboros, and Mobius are still under question. I think Loki and Sylvie survive the blast but are transported to a different timeline where they encounter a new variant of Kang.

Will the variant be hostile or helpful? The answer to this question will be a major turning point in the series.

Meanwhile, Ravonna Renslayer is devastated by the erasure of her memory by He Who Remains and will surely seek revenge from him and his variants.

Moreover, she’ll come for Loki and Sylvie as well because she blames them for literally everything (sigh!)

Finally, in episode 4, we learn that Ouroboros’ source of information about Victor Timely is the TVA guidebook, which he writes in the future.

This is a brilliant paradox of information created in the story and will be a breeding ground for confusion that might come back to bite them at a crucial time.

5. Loki Season 2 Episode 4 Recap

This week’s episode begins with a flashback of Ravonna Renslayer’s past, where she met He Who Remains. He offered her a chance to rule by his side but ended up betraying and erasing her memories.

At present, Loki and Sylvie team up with Mobius and Hunter B-15 to find Victor Timely, a variant of Kang, and bring him to the TVA.

Victor installs a small device called the Throughput Multiplier that can expand the Temporal Loom’s rings and allow the branching timelines to settle in it.

However, the climax ends in a massive explosion as Victor Timely fails to handle the radiation and gets annihilated by the Temporal Loom’s radiation.

The Fate of the four musketeers is also in question, as we are not shown what happens to them after the explosion.
