Loki Episode Guide

"For All Time. Always." is the sixth episode and season finale of the American television series Loki, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Loki. It follows alternate versions of the character as they attempt to learn who is running the Time Variance Authority. The episode is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, sharing continuity with the films of the franchise.
Loki and Sylvie enter the Citadel at the End of Time where they meet Miss Minutes. She relays an offer from her master, "He Who Remains", to return them to the Sacred Timeline, while offering him sovereignty and her happiness. However, the duo reject the offer. At the Time Variance Authority headquarters, Judge Ravonna Renslayer receives information sent by He Who Remains via Miss Minutes. Mobius M. Mobius confronts Renslayer and both accuse each other of betrayal. Renslayer leaves to search for free will after overcoming Mobius' attempt at pruning her. In 2018 Fremont, Ohio, Hunter B-15 is pursued by other TVA troopers until she reveals a variant of Renslayer, a school vice-principal, to prove that the TVA employees are variants.
Meanwhile, He Who Remains greets Loki and Sylvie, who are both surprised that he is just a man. Using a TemPad to avoid Sylvie's attacks, He Who Remains reveals he can anticipate their actions because he has foreseen the past, present, and future and that he guided them to him. He also reveals that he created the TVA after several variants of himself discovered alternative universes and contacted each other in the 31st century. Several of them tried to conquer other universes, leading to a multiversal war. He Who Remains harnessed the creature Alioth to end it, isolate his timeline, and create the TVA to prevent further branches. As he has grown weary, he offers Loki and Sylvie a choice - kill him, end the singular timeline, and risk another multiversal war sparked by his variants, or succeed him in leading the TVA and managing the timeline.
As the timeline begins to diverge, He Who Remains finds he can no longer anticipate the future and Sylvie tries to kill him. Loki fights her, fearing He Who Remains might be right and pleading that he wants to keep her safe. They kiss, but Sylvie uses the TemPad to send Loki back to the TVA headquarters and kills a surrendering He Who Remains, unleashing a multiverse with timelines that cannot be pruned. Loki tries to warn B-15 and Mobius about He Who Remains' variants, but they do not recognize him. Loki then discovers that a statue of one of He Who Remains' variants has replaced those of the Time-Keepers.
