Loki (Season 1 Episode 4)
Title: “The Nexus Event”
Directed by: Kate Herron
Written by: Eric Martin
Release Date : June 30, 2021
Summary
Sylvie tells Loki she escaped the TVA’s custody as a child (after Renslayer captured her). Loki and Sylvie bond romantically, creating a unique branched timeline that alerts the TVA, allowing for their rescue and arrest before Lamentis-1 is destroyed. Mobius leaves Loki in a time loop from his past of Sif attacking him. B-15 has Sylvie show memories of B-15’s past life, proving B-15’s variant status. Renslayer tells Mobius that C-20 had died from a mental breakdown, but Mobius steals a recording showing Renslayer interrogating a mentally sound C-20, who insists that the TVA workers are all variants. Mobius frees Loki from the loop, but Renslayer confronts them and has Mobius pruned. Renslayer has Loki and Sylvie brought before the Time-Keepers, who order Loki and Sylvie deleted. B-15 assists Loki and Sylvie, who proceed to defeat Renslayer and the TVA guards. Sylvie beheads a Time-Keeper, revealing that the Time-Keepers are androids. As Loki prepares to tell Sylvie something, a recovered Renslayer prunes him. Sylvie holds Renslayer hostage, demanding from her the truth about the TVA. In a mid-credits scene, Loki awakens in an unknown realm, where other Loki variants invite him to join them.

On Raxus, which was the homeworld of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, the Empire institutes new curfew laws with the support of local senator Avi Singh. While addressing the public, Singh speaks out against the Empire instead and is arrested. His protocol droid GS-8 hires Cid to help rescue Singh, and she sends the Bad Batch who are reluctant to help after fighting against the Confederacy in the Clone Wars.
