The episode juggles multiple storylines, including Miss Minutes' revelation, Loki's ponderings about Nordic deities, and the potential consequences of exposing Victor to future technology. With Victor now with the TVA, the direction of his character arc becomes uncertain, leaving us curious about what lies ahead in the season.
