* Hunter B-15 being hostile and unpleasant to Loki in Season 1 makes a lot more sense after learning that her original self Verity Willis was living in New York in 2012. She most likely was a first-hand witness to [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Loki's invasion]], and subconsciously remembered what he did, ''especially'' since she had to go back to her original timeline to arrest him in the Season 1 premiere.

* Sylvie's actions in Season 2 parallel those of Thanos in Endgame. He'd done what he thought was right, and now wants to rest from his crusade, but will ensure his work is not undone. Similarly, Sylvie hid out at a McDonald's, and refused to do anymore for Loki or for the TVA, but thought of killing Timely to prevent more trouble with the TVA or He Who Remains. However, while Thanos kept his work unchangeable and never saw/cared for what damage it did, Sylvie eventually let Timely live and saw for herself how things were getting spaghettified unless the TVA took control.

* The end of time in the Season/Series finale displays three different shapes: a single stand, a multitude of branches, and a tree. The first represents the TVA's excessive order, the second represents Sylvie causing excessive chaos, and the third represents Loki enabling a balance between order and chaos.

* All the way back in ''Film/Thor'', Odin's statement is that only one of his sons will ascend the throne, but both were born to be kings. Back then he was referring to Thor and Loki and becoming kings of Asgard and Jotunheim respectively. Now Thor served as King of New Asgard and Protector of Midgard's cosmos while Loki as the Loom becomes the God of Stories, Time and the ''King'' of the Multiverse.

* The previous episode ended with Loki helplessly reaching for the strands of the timeline as it was being erased, as if he was desperately trying to keep it all together. This comes full circle in the finale, when he is able to physically grasp the branches of time and weave them into a multiverse.

* In ([[DependingOnTheWriter some versions of]]) Myth/NorseMythology, Loki's final punishment for arranging Baldur's death was as follows: First, he was restrained, then his two sons were brought before him, one was transformed into a wolf and devoured the other, then was gutted by the other gods, while Loki was ForcedToWatch. Second, Loki was taken deep into the earth, and his sons' entrails were used to bind him to rocks in a deep cave. Finally, a serpent was posed above his face, dripping acidic venom into his eyes. Loki's wife stood by his side, catching the venom in a bowl, but when it got too full she had to go and empty it, leaving Loki under the dripping venom, where his agonized thrashings would shake the Earth ([[JustSoStory causing earthquakes]]). Loki's final fate here: binding himself in the branches of timelines, taking up a throne, spending his power to give the multiverse harmony. Should his position be disrupted, chaos and destruction will again quake through the timelines he's holding stable. For bonus points, the multiverse Loki binds together looks like [[WorldTree Yggdrasil]].

** It's unclear if the Loom could have supported a proper multiverse, as Timely believes the failure is a scaling problem yet He Who Remains scoffs disdainfully at the suggestion before stating how it's supposed to work without mention of ''if'' he could have tried something else.

* Sylvie is shown to be shocked when her magic doesn't work in the TVA, after she failed to enchant a minuteman. This helps emphasise that Sylvie was ''never'' captured and brought in by the TVA, and most likely fought-off the first group that went to capture her when she first became a Variant, all without any prior knowledge on the TVA.

* Well intentioned as he may, or may not, be He Who Remains has set up the Loom in such a way that it can never support a true multi-verse and ''when'' it fails, it ''will'' wipe out all other timelines but 'the Sacred Timeline' - yet again condemning uncountable trillions of lives to be erased simply because ''he'' has decided this is the only way.

* When Loki destroys the Loom the branches of time are revealed and instantly start to die. Whether this is the result of the damage from the Multi-Versal War or He Who Remains' Loom somehow fundamentally changed the nature of existence is unclear, but that ''everything'' is dying in that moment is horrific.

* He Who Remains unwittingly [[CreateYourOwnHero gave Loki everything he needed]]. He gave him the ability to time slip, thus allowing him to go back and ask O.B. how long would it take to learn everything he knows, which gave Loki the knowledge he would need to master his new time powers, which would then allow him to meet Mobius back in ''Episode 1'' for advice and gave him the EurekaMoment he needed to make his choice. In short, no matter what he does, Kang, including his own Variants, seem always destined to ruin themselves.

This episode having the same title as the first episode of the series fits in with how the plot is Loki continually going back in time to relive certain events to see if he can change anything. He even travels back to the first episode.

* It's stated that Asgardians and Frost Giants live thousands of years; however, as Creator/ChrisHemsworth and Creator/TomHiddleston have been playing these roles for over a decade, viewers will start to note that the actors themselves will age even as their characters aren't really supposed to. This episode has Loki reliving a time loop that is ''centuries'' long, and so going forward (presuming this isn't the last we've seen of Loki) if Loki looks older due to Tom Hiddleston's natural aging, this TimeSkip can be used as the reason why.

Notes about Mobius's eating habit.

** Frank being captured and brainwashed by the TVA to serve as one of their workers makes a lot of sense if one takes into account that he and the two prisoners he escaped with were never seen again after they got off Alcatraz. It's incredibly likely that the TVA were more than happy to take advantage of his missing status to capture and brainwash him into their perfect obedient worker.
* Mobius had two sons, one of whom was a trouble maker, explaining his natural empathy with the vulnerable, especially with children - even troublesome man-children.
