(A/N This was a crazy episode! Not gonna lie: getting pretty jealous with how close Loki and Sylvie are getting, but I can make it work. Also, I actually managed to get the entire episode done today! So here's where I found the script:

Hope you guys are really enjoying the series as much as I am and here we go!)

Loki got up, facing the other versions of himself.

"What is this place? Where are we? Who are you?" Loki asked.

"This is the Void. That's Alioth. And we're his lunch. Come on!" Classic Loki answered.

They started scouting ahead.

Meanwhile, Jamie and Sylvie dragged Renslayer from where the fake Time-Keepers were and into the courtroom where they started interrogating her, Sylvie's foot on Renslayer's shoulder.

"Give us your TemPad," Sylvie ordered, to which Renslayer obeyed.

"Who's really behind the TVA?" Jamie asked.

"I'm as in the dark as you two are," Renslayer answered.

"Keep telling us lies and it's gonna get worse," Jamie said.

"I'm not lying," Renslayer insisted.

Sylvie stepped harder on Renslayer's shoulder, making her groan in pain.

"Poor Judge Renslayer. Your whole reality's been destroyed. Tell me, how does it feel to be on the other side of it?" Sylvie wondered.

She then got off her, Renslayer struggling to get up. Sylvie and Jamie then looked around the courtroom.

"This is it, isn't it? This is where you dragged me after you stole my life. A fitting place, then, to take yours," Sylvie remarked, readying the melt stick.

"And what if I said Loki and Mobius weren't dead? Not yet, anyway," Renslayer pointed out.

"We'd say you were lying," Sylvie said.

"Like we're gonna believe anything you say," Jamie snapped.

"Maybe. Or maybe we want the same thing," Renslayer said.

"Doubtful," Jamie muttered.

"How are they still alive? And how will saving either one of them get us closer to who's really behind the TVA?" Sylvie asked.

"It's complicated," Renslayer told them.

Jamie then punched her and put her in a headlock.

"I'm liking you more and more," Sylvie smirked.

"Thanks," Jamie said then remarked to Renslayer, "You better uncomplicate it."

"I'm telling you this willingly," Renslayer insisted.

"Why?" Sylvie asked.

"Because I wanna know who's at the top of this," Renslayer answered.

Jamie and Sylvie looked at each other before nodding and Jamie releasing her.

"I want to know who lied to me. When we prune a branched reality, it's impossible to destroy all of its matter. So we move it to a place on the timeline where it won't continue growing. Basically, the branched timeline isn't reset. It's transferred," Renslayer explained.

"To where?" Jamie and Sylvie asked.

"A void at the end of time. Where every instance of existence collides at the same point and simply stops," Renslayer continued.

"Why?" Sylvie wondered.

"I don't know. The dogma states that the end of time is still being written, that the Time-Keepers are transforming it into utopia," Renslayer answered.

Sylvie scoffed and remarked sarcastically, "That's nice. Super believable."

"Whatever the real reason...nothing ever comes back from there. I can help you if you trust me," Renslayer told them.

Jamie then stepped in front of her.

"Get us what we need and you may get a bit of trust out of me. But if you're lying, you're better off dead," she warned.

A/N I don't trust Renslayer WHATSOEVER! No offense to the actress.
