10. Heart of the TVA
Ouroboros and Victor Timely meet face to face and shower one another with geeky appreciation, citing each other as the author of the TVA guidebook they both rely on. They start working on a mechanism to expand the Temporal Loom’s capacity to accommodate all branched realities. Miss Minutes reveals to Ravonna that not only was she instrumental in building the TVA alongside He Who Remains, but she was also tricked into doing all the legwork while he lounged on his throne, by having her memories erased. The two march back into the TVA and try to blackmail Dox and the rest of the captive TVA rebels. All of them are killed except for X-5 who agrees to assist her. As Ravonna and X-5 take Victor Timely hostage, Ouroboros reboots the system, disabling Miss Minutes from digitally sabotaging them and allowing magic to be used at the premises. Sylvie enchants X-5 who ends up pruning Ravonna. Victor volunteers to walk towards the Temporal Loom to install the mechanism but is instantly spaghettified upon stepping out of the door. The loom overloads in a flash of blinding light.
I guess we all got blindsided by this development because I remember when the trailer was released and Victor Timely was giving off the impression of an awkward but effective villain. If this is all there is to it, then he is nothing more than a plot device here, to be honest. What’s intriguing is what Miss Minutes was about to say before she got rebooted, mustering a simple but loaded “You will never be like him.” I wonder what that playful and creepy clock is still hiding in terms of secrets. As for the pruned victims, they will all just end up in the Void, right? So perhaps there is still a possibility of us seeing Renslayer again. The episode ends in a cliffhanger that won’t let me rest until I see the next episode. It makes you wonder how the writers are going to turn this around, if they can. What exactly does that exploding loom entail? Are they all going to be insta-pruned and sent to the void or totally erased from existence? I don’t know. For now we can just speculate but it looks like the final two episodes will be jam packed with unresolved issues.
