―Loki and A.D. Doug
is the fifth episode of the second season of Loki.
Loki traverses dying timelines in an attempt to find his friends, but Reality is not what it seems.
Loki opens his eyes as the blinding light clears up, finding himself in a TVA that has been completely abandoned. His time-slipping condition returns as the TVA enters a fail-safe mode, rendering the organization defunct. Loki manages to recover a TVA Handbook before the entire office becomes lost to spaghettification. Loki time-slips away and into timelines inhabited by Variants of his friends, in their original lives before the TVA: Casey as Alcatraz escapee Frank Morris in 1962 San Francisco, Hunter B-15 as pediatrist Verity Willis in 2012 New York City, Mobius as jet ski salesman Don in 2022 Cleveland, and Ouroboros as failed science fiction writer and theoretical physics professor A.D. Doug in 1994 Pasadena.
Loki intends to travel back in time to before the Temporal Loom's destruction, but Doug explains that it would be impossible unless Loki learns to control his time-slipping, since he always ends up near the people he knows. Doug also hypothesizes that the TVA may still exist in a point in time, but as Loki doesn't know where to look, Doug proposes gathering the rest of their friends to help determine the coordinates for Loki to travel back to by using their collective temporal aura. As Loki did not salvage a TemPad, he gives Doug his TVA Handbook to allow him to build one from scratch.
Loki suddenly time-slips to Don in his timeline. Doug meets up with them with a functional TemPad, which took him 19 months to build at the cost of his job and his marriage. Loki recruits a reluctant Don and uses the TemPad to gather Willis and Morris from their timelines before approaching Sylvie in 1982 Broxton, who is the only one besides Loki to retain her memories. Sylvie refuses to join the others, believing that Loki should have left them alone in their original lives, free from the TVA. She then gets Loki to admit that his true motivations was his fear of losing his friends and being left alone, and encourages him to write his own story. Guilty, Loki returns to the others and attempts to send them all home, but Sylvie changes her mind after her timeline becomes one of the many branches that are spaghettified out of existence.
Doug goes to retrieve his TemPad to read everyone's temporal aura, but finds it has disappeared. Reality had begun destabilizing at an accelerated rate, resulting in Morris, Doug, Don, Willis and Sylvie losing their lives to spaghettification. Recalling Sylvie's conversation with him that all Lokis were destined to lose, a distraught Loki breaks down in anguish, only to then find himself in the past with everyone still alive. Loki deduces that he managed to control his time-slipping by focusing on a person rather than an event, and realizes he can alter the story by saving the Temporal Loom. Focusing on Ouroboros, Loki successfully transports himself back in time to moments before the Loom's destruction.
