** Loki rolls out of the crashed mail truck, which then falls out of the window as the driver screams. Loki assures the staff that the driver is fine. Fortunately, he's proven right when the truck recovers and sputters away in the distance, but he didn't know that when he made the claim.



** Loki assures Mobius that timeslipping doesn't feel that bad, but the agony on his face when it happens betrays his words.

* RagnarokProofing: The Temporal Loom has functioned without maintenance and virtually no oversight for a millennium at the very least. O.B. only runs diagnostics every few hundred years, and it's only now that the timelines are branching beyond its ability to handle that it becomes necessary to work on it.

B-15 is right about how they should reveal the truth about the TVA as people had lives on the timelines and should be allowed to live them. However, Mobius is also correct about everyone most likely not going to react well they learn everything they were told was a lie and everything they did was wrong.

** The episode picks up where the last season left off, with Loki arriving back at the TVA only to find that nobody there knows who he is, and there's a huge statue of Kang outside. The implication was that this was because history had been changed due to He Who Remains' death, but it turns out that he's just in the TVA's past, when none of them have met him yet. By the present, everyone's memories of that time have been erased (and all indicators of the TVA's true leadership, including the statue, have been removed or concealed).
