While the conflict of the TVA versus Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Lady Loki (Sophia Di Martino) still exists, \u201cLamentus\u201d pushes it to the side, leaving whatever is going on with Owen Wilson\u2019s Mobius M. Mobius for next week. The result is an episode that feels like it\u2019s spinning its wheels where the first two sped along \u2014 it ends with its characters in the same position where they started. But there are several notable revelations (the people working for the TVA had real lives they can\u2019t remember! Sylvie is Lady Loki\u2019s real name, and she always knew she was adopted!), and like the other two installments, it\u2019s visually stunning.<\/p>\n<p>After a brief battle with Ravonna (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), \u201cLamentis\u201d strands the Lokis on a crumbling planet called Lamentus-1. This break in the action gives the variants time to examine their philosophies on love \u2014 and, in the process, confirms Loki as the MCU\u2019s first canonically bisexual lead character.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Love_is_a_Dagger\"><\/span>Love is a Dagger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On Lamentus, Loki and Sylvie have no choice but to work together: Loki swiped a TemPad from the TVA, but it\u2019s running low on power. Hoping to charge it, they wind up at the home of a survivor who tells them everyone\u2019s on the Ark, a train\/space station that\u2019s meant to transport citizens to safety. Naturally, that\u2019s where the duo heads in hopes of using the power from the train to get off the planet. Through the use of both of their powers \u2014 Loki uses his magic to conjure himself a guard uniform, Sylvie enchants another guard to believe they don\u2019t need tickets to board \u2014 they get inside.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1003384\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1003384\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1003384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-tom-hiddleston-1-1014x417.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1014\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-tom-hiddleston-1-1014x417.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-tom-hiddleston-1-450x185.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-tom-hiddleston-1-768x316.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-tom-hiddleston-1-570x234.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-tom-hiddleston-1.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1003384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Disney+\/Marvel Studios<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>There, they head to the bar cart and have a chat about their respective lives as Lokis. Sylvie reveals she always knew she was adopted (which shocks Loki, since finding out he was adopted was kind of the inciting incident for his whole character arc), but she never knew her mother; Loki tells her about Frigga (Renee Russo). Sylvie\u2019s plan is to destroy the TVA, because she\u2019s \u201cbeen running from them [her] whole life,\u201d while Loki, presumably, still craves its power. Their conversation turns to love, as Loki asks her whether she\u2019s seeing anyone; she asks him the same, assuming there \u201cmust\u2019ve been would-be princesses, or perhaps another prince.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA bit of both, I suspect the same as you,\u201d Loki answers \u2014 which makes him the first canonically bisexual character in the MCU. On the whole, their philosophies regarding love are very different. Sylvie believes \u201clove is hate,\u201d while Loki says love is a dagger, a beautiful weapon to be wielded\u2026 but when you reach for it, it isn\u2019t real.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Mechanics_of_Enchantment\"><\/span>The Mechanics of Enchantment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Eventually, the two opt to unwind before setting their plan to charge the TemPad in motion. Sylvie takes a nap, and Loki, true to his \u201chedonistic\u201d self, gets drunk and starts singing in Asgardian. Sylvie awakens and berates him for drawing attention to himself, which it turns out she was right to do; guards arrive and toss him out of the train, and Sylvie, still needing the TemPad, dives out the window after him. In the end, all their efforts are for naught. The TemPad was destroyed on impact, leaving them no way off the doomed planet.<\/p>\n<p>Except\u2026 they do still have one option. In the course of the Sacred Timeline, the Ark never takes off from Lamentus-1, but with Loki and Sylvie there, changing the course of history just might be possible. That\u2019s what they decide to do, and as they follow the train tracks, Loki questions Sylvie about her enchantment powers (still seems likely she\u2019s not a Loki variant at all, since so much time is being devoted to her as an enchantress). As she describes what it takes \u2014 physical connection, \u201creaching in and grabbing\u201d someone\u2019s mind and stepping into one of their memories \u2014 Loki makes a startling realization: The people at the TVA, Mobius included, were real people who had real lives they can no longer remember, from before they were put into the Time Variance Authority\u2019s service.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1003383\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1003383\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1003383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-loki-tom-hiddleston-2-1014x416.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1014\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-loki-tom-hiddleston-2-1014x416.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-loki-tom-hiddleston-2-450x185.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-loki-tom-hiddleston-2-768x315.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-loki-tom-hiddleston-2-570x234.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/loki-season-1-episode-3-lamentus-loki-tom-hiddleston-2.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1003383\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Disney+\/Marvel Studios<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trapped_Again\"><\/span>Trapped Again<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Loki and Sylvie wind up in a crumbling town, fighting their way past guards and swerving around pieces of a falling planet to the ship\u2026 only to watch it explode before them.
