So for Ravonna, catching this particular Loki variant has always been personal.

Things are still looking pretty dire on Lamentis-1 as Loki and Sylvie face their imminent destruction.

The end of the world has left them both feeling reflective and Sylvie finally confesses her past to Loki.

He drops the information Loki gave him to B-15 and doubt grows in her as well.

Sif doesn’t hit him this time but still manages to verbally devastate him by confirming his fears.

No wonder they didn’t notice they created a nexus event!

They’ve all been kidnapped and their memories have been erased but Sylvie can access them through enchantment.

And what he finds confirms that Loki has been telling the truth.

And through her tears, she realizes she was happy.

And this is when all hell starts to break loose in the halls of the TVA.

Loki can be whatever he wants, either good or bad.

They leave the time cell but walk right into Ravonna’s clutches.

Mobius reveals that he knows he’s a variant and that the Time-Keepers basically stole his life.

If Loki wanted to go before the Time-Keepers before, this wasn’t the way he planned.

Ravonna collects Sylvie and puts out an alert for the missing B-15.

While Loki looks devastated, Sylvie is all coiled fury and eventually he is as well.

Sylvie eventually knocks Ravonna out and then beheads one of the Time-Keepers.

But the remaining Time-Keepers creepily laugh and then deactivate.

In another shock, it turns out the Time-Keepers were just mindless androids.

Before Loki can confess what seems like his love to despondent Sylvie, Ravonna deletes him.

In her rage, Sylvie gets the upper hand and demands Ravonna tell her everything.

And so the question of what makes a Loki a Loki gets ever more complicated.
