Well, those of you who have speculated that there's something sinister about the Time Variance Authority were definitely rewarded in today's episode of Loki! "Lamentis" didn't feature too many big reveals, but a conversation between Loki and his female doppelganger sheds some light on what's really going on in the TVA.
Describing how her enchanting powers work, the "Variant" revealed that the young agent she kidnapped in last week's episode had a mind that was completely clouded, forcing her to pull a memory from hundreds of years ago (at the start of the episode, she's shown enjoying a Margherita in a bar).
The female Loki explains that this was a memory from when the girl was just a regular person on Earth, before she was recruited by the TVA.
The God of Mischief is shocked, especially after Mobius told him that the members of the TVA were created by the Time-Keepers. However, the devastating truth is that they're all just Variants!
Now, it's clear that something weird is going on in the TVA, and something tells us that Mobius' love of jet skis could be a remnant of who he was before being recruited (likely against his will). That young female agent has been serving them for hundreds of years after being plucked out of her place in the timeline, and it seems the TVA has created an army of unwitting - and unwilling - slaves.
Needless to say, we're hoping Loki will reunite with Mobius to help him understand the truth...
