Loki is one of the most anticipated MCU shows that people have been waiting for. As expected, the show reveals more and more about multiverse and probably creates a base for future MCU films. Read the Loki episode 2 synopsis (spoilers ahead!) below to know what happened in the episode.

In episode 2, the Variant Loki finally met the Evil Loki and what happened next is something you should not miss. 

 

Loki episode 2: The Variant 

In episode 2, it was clear that TVA or the Time Variance Authority need all the help they can. Even after having files and files on the Loki variant creating destruction (let us call him Evil Loki), they fail to find him. So, the Variant Loki, who is helping the TVA due to his own ulterior motives, reads up the files.

 

The variant Loki understands that the evil Loki uses disaster zones to refuse and evade the TVA guards. Using a candy bar, the variant Loki guesses that the evil Loki is in a department store in 2050. Like in episode 1, in episode 2, the evil Loki easily fools the guards of the TVA and does something no one had thought.

 

The TVA suspected that the evil Loki had some reset charges, but the episode 2 revealed that the evil Loki has multiple of them. He uses all of them simultaneously to create many branches in the timeline, and yes, it does seem like preparation for the Multiverse of Madness.

 

Another interesting thing that happened in episode 2 is the appearance of evil Loki. The TVA presumed that it is the evil Loki (we did too). But when the evil Loki shed the human body, he took the form of a woman. As per a mistake in credits, it could be a different character Sylvie, a combination of Lady Loki and the Enchantress.

 

In the final scene of Loki episode 2, the variant Loki followed this Lady Loki through a door that leads who knows where. We would have to watch the next four episodes to understand the mystery MCU is building.

Elsewhere, a controversial scene of Batman was recently cut from Harley Quinn.
