History Recap / LokiEpisode7Ouroboros

* BrandNameTakeover: Lampshaded by Mobius when he informs Hunter X-5 that "jet ski" is a brand name, like Kleenex.

* HeadbuttOfLove: General Dox shares one with Hunter X-5 while telling him to hunt down Sylvie. B-15, who's still in the room, looks very confused by how close the two of them apparently are.

* HazmatSuit: O.B. puts Mobius into a Core Suit that will protect him from the temporal radiation for a little while.

* ChekhovsGun: Mobius writes "Skin?" on the dust-covered terminal. Loki sees this when he winds up in the future.

** The podcast that Casey from the past is listening to is the same that Steven Grant listened to while trying to stay awake in ''Series/{{Moon Knight|2022}}.''

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Dox and Gamble marshal a ridiculous amount of TVA agents in the hunt for Sylvie. It's so many, in fact, that D-90 doesn't believe that that's what they're really doing, despite how dangerous Sylvie's proven herself to be.

* TimeyWimeyBall: Discussed. It's been established that TVA Headquarters is a PlaceBeyondTime, so when the TVA after the events of Season One stops pruning timelines, the TVA of the distant past (before the establishment of the Time Keepers and before Loki arrived) is itself caught up in the sudden manifestation of new, unpruned timelines. That said, it's also been established that [[TimeStandsStill there is no chronological progression]] (or at least not in the same way as it is in the rest of the Multiverse) within the TVA, so Loki [[UnstuckInTime timeslipping]] at various points within the TVA's history [[BeyondTheImpossible shouldn't be possible]].

* TwoScenesOneDialogue: Mobius and present O.B's, and Loki and past O.B.'s conversations are almost the same and the scene cuts back and forth between them.

* FlayingAlive: This would be Mobius’s fate if either he fails to fire the extractor or if Loki fails to prune himself in time.

* InstantlyProvenWrong: While Loki wants to deal with He Who Remains, Mobius wants to get Loki checked out first because he keeps disappearing. Trying to downplay it, Loki denies that it keeps happening, and a second later he timeslips again.

* BeyondTheImpossible: O.B. says time-slipping is impossible in the TVA, but Loki is well at it.
* BigEater: When Sylvie says she wants to try "everything", the [=McDonalds=] cashier, interpreting this as "everything on the menu", is seen reacting in surprise evidently pegging her for this. Given she's a Frost Giant, she probably ''can'' tank one of everything if she really wanted.

** Loki asks past O.B. if he can call him "O.B." At first he seems displeased, but then says "I like it!"

* BigEater: When Sylvie says she wants to try one of everything on the [=McDonalds=] menu, the cashier is seen reacting in surprise evidently pegging her for this. Given she's a Frost Giant, she probably ''can'' tank one of everything if she really wanted.

* CringeComedy: Mobius doesn't remember meeting O.B. because it has been 400 years, but instead of admitting it he just keeps [[DiggingYourselfDeeper digging himself deeper]].

* {{Ouroboros}}: The name of Ke Huy Quan's character, and the title of the episode.

* TrialBalloonQuestion: A variant. Loki asks O.B. how he would cure his timeslipping but O.B. interrupts him saying that timeslipping isn't possible in the TVA. Loki the rephrases his question to ask him how he would cure it if it ''were'' possible, hypothetically.

* BadFuture: Something ominous is going on in the future TVA that Loki timeslips into. Alarms are going off, evacuation orders can be heard over the loudspeakers, the TVA is in disarray with all lights flickering, everyone seems in agitation, and a monitor says "LOOM CRITICAL."

* BadFuture: Something ominous is going on in the future TVA that Loki timeslips into. Alarms are going off, the lights are flickering, and everyone seems in agitation.

* MatchCut: There is a cut from the outside of the Time Loom room to the inside of the door opening.

* ReducedToRatburgers: Sylvie has been subsisting off of these her whole life, as she requests from the [=McDonald's=] cashier "no pigeon, no possum, no squirrel, anything without a face".

* BigEater: When Sylvie says she wants to try one of everything on the [=McDonalds=] menu, the cashier is seen reacting in surprise evidently pegging her for this. Given she's an Asgardian, she probably ''can'' tank one of everything if she really wanted.

* ReducedToRatburgers: Sylvie has been subsisting off of these her whole life, as she requests from the [=McDonald's=] cashier anything without a face.

* DivingSave: Unintentionally done by Loki when the Temporal Aura Extractor pulls him from the time stream. He crashes into Mobius, and they both make it through the closing gates just in time.

* JustInTime: When it appears that Loki has run out of time before O.B. can close the blast doors to the overloading number of branches from destroying the TVA, he manages to get pruned in time and return.
