The First Season of Loki was at its best when it was wild and chaotic and kept Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the audience off guard. Things got a bit problematic at the end when events had to be explained. Unfortunately still locked into a Kang (Jonathan Majors) storyline, the show does get back to basics with Loki time-slipping through different eras inside the TVA. The episode introduces Ke Huy Quan as Ouroboros who is incredulous at Loki’s predicament but still helpful in offering a quite dangerous way he could be saved by removing himself from the timeline with the help of Mobius (Owen Wilson) who manages to not get his skin ripped off.

The story hits home for Alec’s assistant Phoebe (Molly Kunz) allowing the show to fill in a bit of her backstory as well. A fine, if not too memorable, episode (although the grizzly bear experiment is a nice use of the show’s concept).
