Eager to learn more about the true powers behind the TVA and reunite with Loki, Sylvie prunes herself and wakes up in the Void. Renslayer (with some help from Miss Minutes (voiced by Tara Strong)) divulges a pretty major secret to Sylvie: it turns out that, if you get pruned, you get sent to the Void: a place that’s located somewhere beyond time.

As Loki airs, I’ll go through each episode one by one, discussing some of the highlights, pointing out some Easter eggs, making predictions, and talking about what is working and what is not. And what an episode it was, True Deceivers!
