Warning! This post contains spoilers for Episode 3 of season 2 of Loki.
The conclusion of episode 3 of Loki season 2 delivers a pivotal closing scene that establishes intriguing mysteries and promises an exciting future for the TVA and Ravonna Renslayer (portrayed by Gugu Mbatha-Raw). In a surprising revelation, it is disclosed that Ravonna has been sent to a divergent timeline with the purpose of crafting a fresh incarnation of the enigmatic figure known as "He Who Remains." However, this revelation also unveils significant secrets surrounding both Ravonna's past and her forthcoming involvement with the TVA.
In Loki season 2, episode 3, we witness the official entrance of Victor Timely (played by Jonathan Majors), a new variant of He Who Remains. Timely resides in a divergent timeline in the year 1893 and is an innovative inventor who received a TVA guidebook during his childhood, courtesy of Ravonna and Miss Minutes, who were supposedly carrying out the posthumous wishes of He Who Remains. However, their plans go off course due to the involvement of Loki and Mobius, who require Timely's assistance in saving the current TVA, while Sylvie's sole objective is to eliminate the Kang variant. Consequently, the episode concludes with a surprising cliffhanger, particularly impactful for Ravonna.
What Big Secret Does Miss Minutes Know About Renslayer?
As seen in the conclusion of episode 3 of Loki season 2, Miss Minutes expressed her desire for Timely, longing for a genuine physical form so they could be together as she had always wanted with He Who Remains. However, Timely, the inventor, rejects Miss Minutes' love, causing her to seemingly transform into an adversary. Consequently, in the final moments of the episode, she returns to Ravonna Renslayer, disclosing that she possesses profound knowledge of Timely's secrets, including a significant revelation about Ravonna that will undoubtedly provoke immense anger. It is reasonable to assume that, similar to numerous other TVA agents, Miss Minutes will likely divulge more of Ravonna's concealed history since it is plausible that Ravonna herself underwent a mind-wiping process.
How Sylvie Sent Renslayer To The End Of Time
In the final moments of episode 2 in season 2 of Loki, Sylvie harnesses the temporal device acquired from He Who Remains to transport Ravonna Renslayer to the Citadel at the End of Time. Remarkably, this device showcases notable enhancements compared to the conventional TemPads utilized by the agents of the TVA.
How Loki Season 2, Episode 1 Foreshadows Renslayer's Truth
In the upcoming episodes of Loki season 2, the main character, known as the God of Mischief, discovers an intriguing audio recording. In this recording, He Who Remains expresses gratitude towards Ravonna for her contributions. This revelation hints at a recurring time loop within the origins of the TVA, suggesting that Ravonna was present since its inception. However, due to having her memories erased, she is unable to recollect her past. It is highly probable that future episodes will see Miss Minutes unveil this truth about Renslayer.
What's Happening To The End Of Time?
Sylvie's banishment of Loki to the Citadel at the End of Time seems to have triggered a gradual disintegration of the entire fortress. Previously cracked in the finale of Loki season 1, it appears that the presence of He Who Remains was the sole factor holding it together within this unstable temporal realm.
How Long Has Past At The End Of Time
Taking into account the deterioration of He Who Remains' body, it appears that a considerable duration has elapsed since his demise and Ravonna's current position in the Citadel, as depicted in episode 3 of Loki season 2. Nevertheless, time functions distinctively within the TVA and at the End of Time, rendering the measurement of actual time passage relative and challenging to precisely determine.
