Loki S2 05 Science/Fiction

In which Loki appears, and the TVA is gone, empty, not populated.  No one is there.  He leaps timeslips about time and place, and into branches, to find all his friends living other lives.  Casey is breaking out of a very famous prison, Mobius is a jetski salesman, single dad with two boys, B-5 is a doctor and OB is a quantum physicist (who should have been named Al, or Sam).  OB tells Loki he should be able to control his leaping about, but he can't.  He does reassamble the team, once OB makes a new tempad.  Then Sylvie refuses to join them, until the red skies take her branch.  Then the darkness comes for the team...

I am sorry, but the Quantum Leap references write themselves.  I could try some Doctor Who references, but everyone knows those.  Oh!  I could go with the Time Tunnel!  Anyway, things are breaking down in this penultimate episode.  This one had a bit less humor, but that is to be expected.  I will be interested in seeing how this ends up.
