- The clock is ticking in the season finale which finds Loki and Sylvie on a date with destiny.
- Loki and Sylvie travel it to the Citadel at the End of Time, and the man behind the curtain tells them how it all started, what it's all been about and what the future holds if they kill him. Meanwhile, Mobius returns to the TVA and confronts Ravonna.—Gislef
- Loki and Sylvie stand at a castle on a planetoid, beyond the Void. They approach the main doors, and Sylvie asks Loki if he thinks it's a bad idea if she kicks them in. He says that he doesn't think that, and he asks if Sylvie is okay when she hesitates. Sylvie tells him that she needs a moment, and says that she's been waiting for the moment her entire life and just needs a minute to get her head straight.
The doors open and Loki and Sylvie go in. There is a vast hallway, and as they start to go down it, Miss Minutes appears before them. She welcomes them to the Citadel at the End of Time, and says that He Who Remains is impressed. The AI explains that He created all and controls all... at the end of time. He wants to offer Loki and Sylvie a deal, and has worked it out so he can insert them back into the timeline in a way that won't disrupt things. Miss Minutes says that the TVA can keep doing its vital work, and Loki and Sylvie can live the lives they always wanted.
Loki will be allowed to win against the Avengers, kill Thanos, and gain the Infinity Gauntlet and Asgard. Sylvie will have a lifetime of happy memories and the two Lokis together. Miss Manners assures them that He can make it work and they can have it all together. Sylvie says that it's a fiction, and Loki insists that they write their own destinies. Miss Manners wishes them good luck and disappears, and Loki and Sylvie continue on.
At the TVA, Ravonna is in her office collecting her files. Miss Manners appears and says that she's downloading the files Ravonna needs. Ravonna confirms that the files aren't what she asked for, and Miss Manners says that He thinks the files Ravonna got will be more useful. With that, the AI disappears.
Loki and Sylvie reach a chamber covered in dust, and a door opposite where they came in opens and reveals He. He's amused and impressed that there are two Lokis there, and says that the name Miss Manners gave him is creepy but he likes it. They take the elevator up to He's office, and He assures them that he's flesh and blood. Sylvie swings at He with her sword, and he disappears before she can hit him. He reappears and then disappears, chuckling, before Sylvie can hit him.
The elevator arrives at He's office, and the Lokis find He waiting for them. He pours coffee and invites them to take a seat, and they hesitantly sit down.
Mobius enters Ravonna's office, and she figures that if anyone could make it back from the Void, it would be Mobius. She says that the pruned Mobius because she couldn't let him get in the way of their mission, and says that it can't be for nothing. Ravonna calls in a Hunter, and Mobius tells her that it won't work now that they know her secret. Mobius' former friend wonders what he's done.
In Fremont, Ohio, 2018, Hunters pursue B-15 through a school. B-15 goes into an office and a Hunter corners her. She tells him that he has to listen to her, but he refuses. The principal whose office it is comes in and wonders what's going on. She looks just like Ravonna, and B-15 tells the Hunter that the principal isn't Ravonna, and they have a lot to talk about.
Loki tells He that he's lost, and Sylvie comes at He. He teleports out of reach of Sylvie, and takes out a script of what they've said and done, and will do. After assuring them that he knows they don't kill him and He has programmed his tempad with that knowledge, He says that he knows everything they've done, and that he "paved the road" so that they would get where they are.
He shows them more pages, saying that there's only one way it can go. When Sylvie wonders why they're there, He says that it's about the journey. Loki figures that it's a manipulation, and He finds it interesting that Loki would consider it manipulation. He asks Sylvie if she trusts Loki, or thinks she can trust anyone at all.
Ravonna insists to Mobius that the TVA is a necessary lie, and she believes whoever created the TVA had a reason. She insists that they have to prune the timeline to prevent chaos, and that only the person in charge has free will. Mobius accuses Ravonna of betraying him, and Ravonna tells him that he betrayed her. He turned to the Variants, throwing away their friendships. Ravonna creates a portal and says she's doing what she has to. Mobius turns on his pruning rod, and Ravonna tells him that he's no danger to her. He stabs at her, and Ravonna blocks his blow, disarms him, and kicks him to the floor.
Mobius tells Ravonna to prune him. She deactivates the rod instead, grabs her bag, tells Mobius she's going to go in search of free will, and leaves through the portal.
He admits that his methods are deceptive, but without the TVA, everything burns. Loki asks what He is afraid of, and he says that he's afraid of himself. Sylvie wonders who He is, and He tells them that it's not as simple as a name. He explains that a Variant of himself once lived on the 31st century, and he discovered that there were other versions. Other He's learned the same thing, made contact, and for a while there was peace as they shared technology and knowledge.
Some He's weren't so pure of heart, and became conquerors. Each Variant fought to preserve his universe and annihilate the others. The first Variant encountered a creature capable of consuming time and space: Alioth. He weaponized Alioth and ended the multiversal war, isolated their timeline, and prevented any other branches by creating the TVA.
He says that he keeps them safe, and if they want to see evil then they should meet his Variants. He tells them that something worse will replace him if they depose him, and the TVA is the only scenario that works. Sylvie suggests that He is a liar, and He tells them that if they kill him then they'll have to deal with an infinite number of Variants... or they run the place.
Loki wonders why He would give up being in control, and He says that he's tired and older than he looks. He says that the "game" is for the young and the hungry, and the persons best-suited to take his place are Loki and Sylvie. They can take over and return to the TVA as its benevolent rulers. Sylvie accuses him of treating people as pawns, and He says that it was practical, not personal. When she tells him that it was personal to her, He calls her a murderer and a hypocrite, and they're all villains.
He says that now they can do horrific things for a good reason. Thunder rumbles and the lights dim, and He says that they just crossed the threshold. He says that he doesn't know how everything is going to go, and they've reached the point where his knowledge of the future ends. Outside, the timeline starts branching.
Loki wonders if that's it, and wonders if He is going to let them decide his fate. He tells them that he is, and either they let him live or they kill him and another Variant of him takes his place. Sylvie thinks He is lying to them, and He says that it's no lie.
Sylvie lunges at He, and Loki stops her and says that they should talk about it. Loki pulls her back with his magic, and parries her blow when she swings at him. Loki says that he's a liar, and doesn't think He is lying. Sylvie figures that Loki wants He's throne, and Loki wonders if they will unleash something worse by killing He. Loki insists that it's not about a throne, but Sylvie calls herself a fool for ever trusting Loki. Loki figures that Sylvie never trusted him, and what's going on is bigger than their experience.
When Sylvie wonders why they're seeing it the same way, Loki tells her that she can't trust and he can't be trusted. Loki wants to wait, and Sylvie attacks him with her sword and he defends himself. Sylvie tells Loki to kill her and take his throne, then kicks him when he refuses. They continue fighting, and Loki teleports in front of her blade and drops his own sword as she prepares to kill He.
Loki asks Sylvie to stop, and says that he feels what she feels and has been where she has been. All he knows is that he just wants Sylvie to be okay. Sylvie drops her sword and they kiss, and then Sylvie tells Loki that she's not him, opens a portal, and shoves Loki through it back to a theater in the TVA.
Sylvie closes the portal before Loki can come back through, and she asks He if he's going to beg for his life. He doesn't, and Sylvie runs him through the chest. He dies and nothing happens, and Sylvie collapses to the floor in exhaustion and despair. Outside, the timeline continues branching.
At the TVA, Mobius and B-15 monitor the branching timeline. They recite the TVA's oath.
Loki sits in the theater and mourns. He then gets up and goes out, and finds the Hunters mobilizing. Loki finds Mobius and B-15 discussing the branching, and Loki yells that they can't stop it. He explains what happened to Mobius, and different Variants of a dangerous person are coming. Mobius has no idea who Loki is because of the alterations in the timeline, and Loki looks at the statue of He that has replaced the statues of the Time Keepers.
