Summary

• The TVA has been destroyed, and all reality is facing an unraveling after the Temporal Loom exploded.

Coming off a massive cliffhanger last week, Loki season 2, episode 5, "Science/Fiction," succeeds in answering some questions while setting in motion the upcoming Loki season 2 finale. The entire MCU seemed on the brink of destruction as the Temporal Loom was overloaded and exploded in a flash of white light in Loki season 2, episode 4, and episode 5 picks up right at that moment. While it's clear that everything wasn't immediately destroyed, the stakes have been raised as all of reality faces a slow and unnerving unraveling.
Loki season 2, episode 5 takes a step back from the jaw-dropping twists and, in focusing on the aftermath of last week's bombshell, gives some long-awaited backstory and development to the Loki cast. The fate of Miss Minutes, Victor Timely, and Ravonna Renslayer are being held for next week's finale, which has a massive amount to wrap up. From an empty TVA to seeing characters in a brand new light, Loki season 2, episode 5, "Science/Fiction," is a fantastic penultimate episode.
