The latest episode of the Disney+ series ‘Loki’ gave us so many shocking moments. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) forming an unlikely alliance to take down the timekeepers and one of the TVA’s most obedient agents, Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku), going against the organization after getting to know her own reality.

However, one moment that completely broke us was the pruning of our favorite TVA agent Mobius (Owen Wilson). The episode showed us Loki telling Mobius about how everyone working at the TVA is a variant and they were kidnapped by the Time Keepers to do their dirty work. At first, Mobius ridicules him but when he gets to learn the truth about C-20 ( and her death, he realizes that he was someone else in the past and led a happy life before coming to the TVA.

Ravonna Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) gets to know about Mobius learning the truth about TVA and the Time Keepers. After giving an impassioned speech to Judge Renslayer about wanting to know about his real identity, she cold-heartedly says “prune him”, and just like that, one of the most beloved characters on the show was gone. But, is he really gone? According to a shocking Reddit theory, Mobius will be coming back really soon.

Reddit user u/Jakklyn suggests a forgotten line from Episode 2 holds the key to Mobius’ return in the remaining two episodes of the show. In the second episode of ‘Loki’, Mobius debriefs Renslayer about the variants and puts his cup of scotch on the table. Renslayer refers to the rings on the table and says that they are all from you (Mobius).

For many, it doesn’t seem like a big moment, but if you look closely it plays a significant part. Everyone knows that TVA agents are variants and they are being manipulated into believing that they are created by Time Keepers. But, what happens if the process is reset? Them, the agents, who are out of line, might be brought back with the same technique.

If we go by the aforementioned theory, it can be said that those rings were actually made by the earlier versions of Mobius and that’s why he does not remember making them. Even his name means that he will be back soon. According to Mathematics, a Mobius strip is a strip with a half-twist and connected ends, making it an infinite loop with only one side.

Everything suggests that Mobius is stuck in an endless time loop. But one thing is true. Mobius doesn’t remember his past variants and believes that his character has only lived a single life. But this might turn out to be false.

If the theory is true, then Mobius will be making a grand return on the show. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see Wilson back on the show. He was so amazing as Mobius, so his return seems to be inevitable. And most importantly, we want to see him jet-skiing with Loki. That would the most epic moment on the show.

‘Loki’ returns with a new episode every Wednesday on Disney+.
