How Loki controls the passage of time
Lots of Loki The fifth episode of Season 2 was very introspective for Loki himself. While OB convinced Loki to focus on the “why” behind his desire to control the passage of time, it wasn’t until Sylvie challenged her fellow God of Mischief to the real “why” behind it. For Loki, he doesn’t just want to save TVA. He wants to save TVA because he wants to save his friends and not be alone. This is a very pivotal moment for the God of Mischief, and it directly ties into how he’s finally able to control his own passage of time by the end of the series.
This is pretty important considering Loki’s new powers essentially allow him to break all the rules of time travel previously established by the Marvel Universe.While the Avengers cannot go back in time and change past events to rewrite their present and future, e.g. Avengers: Endgame, which is exactly what Loki can do now that he has taken control of his powerful new abilities.As he said at the end Loki In the fifth episode of Season 2, Loki can rewrite the story.

“Do you think Loki became Loki because we were doomed?”
Now, the God of Mischief seems to be refusing to follow this narrative/destiny. So, before Sylvie and all his friends were unraveled, he took control and deliberately jumped back into his own personal timeline. The “who” Loki is referring to is Loki himself, confirming to OB that this is the key to his control, not the “why”. Loki is determined to reshape his image in the Marvel Universe. However, the “who” is also the person he wants to save, the person he cares about.
What point in time did Loki travel to at the end of Episode 5?
Loki backtracks further in final shot Loki Season 2 Episode 5.Therefore, he appears in the TVA in a time that appears to be just before the Time Loom exploded, as in Loki Season 2, Episode 4. It’s also possible that this was before Victor Tamley went out to try to repair the device, only to be immediately unraveled by the intense temporal radiation from the loom.
This should give Loki the perfect opportunity to rewrite the timeline and ensure that the time loom is indeed stable, saving TVA and all of his friends. Loki Season 2 finale.
