The latest episode of Loki sees the return of one Ravonna Renslayer, who’s been missing since the season 1 finale. After disappearing through that Time Door, we learn that she found her way to 1868 Chicago with none other than Miss Minutes.

With Miss Minutes, Renslayer, and a Kang variant all in one location, Loki and Mobius start chasing him through the crowds. When Sylvie arrives to try and kill Timely, all chaos breaks loose with magic flying everywhere. Amid the madness, Timely, Miss Minutes, and Renslayer make their escape.
Now on a ship, the trio starts discussing Timely’s inventions as he reveals how influential the TVA handbook has been on his designs. Renslayer then tells him that he actually created the TVA as he shares that they’re heading to his lab in Wisconsin. However, it soon becomes clear Timely
