Loki season 2 episode 6 is the season finale and is scheduled to drop on November 9, 2023, on Disney+. The episode is expected to connect the Loki spinoff back to main MCU phases 5 and 6. Since the series has the protagonist in a branched-out timeline that he created in Avengers: Endgame, his character has evolved into a more mature and subtle personality. Connecting it all back to the original MCU timeline and to the original God of Mischief will be a feat that writer Eric Martin must accomplish in the upcoming episode.
The season has followed the protagonist as he was time-slipping through the past, present, and future. With the help of his new TVA family, the Asgardian is on a journey to understand himself and find a purpose in life. Loki season 2 episode 6 is expected to present him achieving his aim as he works towards protecting the TVA and his friends. It may also show the God of Mischief in a different light as it lays the foundation for the next MCU project.

A short revisit to Loki season 2 episode 5
The explosion at the end of the fourth episode started destroying multiple branches in the timeline. As the TVA agents got spaghettified, Loki continued to time-slip. In episode 5, his friends, Mobius, Ouroborus, Hunter B-15, and Cassey, were all reset in their previous lives, in the timelines where they originally belonged.
To control Loki’s time-slipping, Ouroborus, who was back to being Dr. Doug, suggested Loki time-travel to the point before the explosion. He further suggested that all the others needed to come together to provide the power of their temporal aura to help Loki reach his destination. While all the others agreed, Sylvie refused.
However, Loki realized that instead of focusing on time, he needed to focus on a person to control his time-slipping. Focusing on O.B., he traveled back to the time before the explosion and declared that he would rewrite the story. Episode 5, titled Science/Fiction, has enough action to keep viewers on the edges of their seats.
Taking the plot forward from here, the final purpose of Loki season 2 episode 6 will be to fix the Loom and protect the timeline forever. Whether the God of Stories rewrites any part of the story to bring anything new remains to be seen.
Loki season 2 episode 6 is expected to rewrite the story that fans have known so far
The second season of Loki was all about the multiple branches created by Sylvie when she killed He Who Remains and focused on saving the timeline along the TVA. With the protagonist enduring the problem of time-slipping, the ever-growing timeline branches, and the pressure on the Temporal Loom, there are too many issues for the lead characters to solve in Loki season 2 episode 6.
In Loki season 2 episode 6, the gang would also need to figure out what they did wrong the previous time and avoid the same mistake as they time-traveled. In this attempt, the God of Mischief will be imperative since he is the only one with all the knowledge.
One of the themes in the previous episode, Science/Fiction, was about stories and how Loki can rewrite his own. This is a vital part of the complete lore surrounding Loki, the Asgardian God of Mischief. It also places him as the God of Stories and a master storyteller.
A take on his time-slipping and taking control over that and his life could be that he is a protector of stories for those whose lives seem to be slipping away. The end of Loki season 2 episode 6 may place him as the protector of stories in the MCU.
Loki season 2 episode 6, written by Eric Martin and directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, will be the season finale. It will hit screens on November 9, 2023, on Disney+.
