* Loki literally spends centuries studying physics, mechanics, and the rest to be on OB's level, and finally succeeds in helping Victor expand the Loom... but soon the group realizes that the Loom will never be able to scale to handle an infinite multiverse. What's worse is that when Loki speaks to He Who Remains, the latter confirms he knew he'd go through everything up to this point, and knew he'd fail to the point he'd return to their confrontation. Loki wasted centuries of time and life, pretty much spending it alone as he desperately tried again and again to try to succeed, and it was AllForNothing.

* Victor's demise is at once heartrending and [[NightmareFuel horrifying]]. After his preceding screentime raised the possibility that he was [[BitchInSheepsClothing stringing along Loki and the TVA with a bumbling conman persona]], Victor proves himself to be exactly as he presents: a stuttering, disorganized, but well-meaning and respectful man who is in ''way'' over his head and yet wishes to help all the same.
