To say the fourth episode of the Marvel Cinematic Universe show Loki had a lot going on, would be an understatement. Too many things happened within an hour and the audience has still not been able to wrap their head around this episode yet.
 
For starters, when we left Loki and Sylvie (who are the same people, to remind you), they were stranded on a dying planet minutes away from destruction. In the third episode we saw them bond in a bid to escape Lamentis, but moments before their approaching end, they held hands. This created a branch in the TVA’s timeline and that was how Loki and Sylvie were caught again by the TVA agents.

Simultaneously, Mobius tried to find what caused the major branch in the timeline at Lamentis. To make Loki tell the truth, he lied about Sylvie getting pruned (killed by TVA agents). While Loki said it was his plan to get rid of her all along, he was visibly upset.

This is when Mobius realised that Loki had started liking Sylvie. Mobius then called him a seismic narcissist, who fell in love with himself. While Sylvie is a version of Loki, she is also another person in her own right. However, given their connection, them touching or being with each other have the capacity to break reality, according to Mobius. This is why, when they held hands, there was a major timeline branch.

When they saw that they were not in any imminent threat, Loki tried to confess his feelings for Sylvie. However, before he could do so, he was pruned by Reyona, making it the most shocking Loki death in the MCU.

However, thankfully for the fans who are patient, this was not the end of the episode. We got to see a crucial mid-credit scene, where Loki woke up.
