A third of the way into Loki's penultimate episode, "Science/Fiction," O.B., or rather an Earthbound version of him named A.D. Doug, helps Loki understand the essence of the episode title's genres. "With science, it's all what and how. But with fiction, it's why," he explains -- a sentiment that likely mirrors viewers' questions about season 2 in general. "What's happening to the TVA? How will this affect Phase 5's Kang the Conqueror storyline? Why did Loki survive its destruction when no one else did?" And so forth.
