8. Breaking Brad
Ouroboros attempts to fix the Temporal Loom but needs the aura of either He Who Remains, who is dead, or Miss Minutes to override the system. Otherwise, a temporal meltdown would eventually lead to the agency’s demise. TVA Agent X-5 (Rafael Casal) returns to his life in the sacred timeline as popular actor Brad Wolfe but is taken back to the TVA by Mobius and Loki to be questioned. After a bit of torture, he admits to finding Sylvie and reluctantly brings Mobius and Loki to the 1982 branched timeline where Sylvie is working at a McDonald’s in Oklahoma. After witnessing a rather uneasy Brad, Sylvie enchants him and sees firsthand that Dox’s real plan is to prune the branched timelines with reset charges. They head back to the TVA but are too late as the pruning has already begun. Mobius, Loki, and Sylvie manage to apprehend Dox but some of her loyalists escape. Meanwhile, Casey (Eugene Cordero), the TVA receptionist and fan of Ouroboros, finally gets to track Ravonna Renslayer’s TemPad in one of the branched timelines.
