Loki team teases the God of Mischief's "awkward teenager" romance with Sylvie in season 2

Warning! This article contains mild spoilers for Loki season 2 episode 1. If you've yet to watch the episode, turn back now.

Loki season 2 picks up right where its predecessor left off; with Sophia Di Martino's Sylvie killing He Who Remains and destroying the Sacred Timeline. As a result, the TVA's Temporal Loom – a device that refines raw time into a physical timeline, bear with us – starts malfunctioning, overwhelmed by the sudden surge of branches, which sets Loki and the gang on a mission to fix it before it breaks and well, wipes everything out of existence. 

With that, there's not much... time, in its first few episodes anyway, to explore Loki and Sylvie's complicated relationship, which culminated in a fight and a kiss at the end of season 1. But that doesn't mean the team behind the Marvel show have forgotten about the God of Mischief's variant crush...

"I don't think it was a, 'Oh, we're moving away from the romance' decision, I think the stakes are just so high," executive producer Kevin Wright tells GamesRadar+. "There's so much drama happening that it always felt like convoluted to slow things down just for the romance, so we would try to find those moments where we could."

Aside from a brief re-introduction at the end of the episode, and a post-credits scene revealing where she's been based since that fateful day at the End of Time, Sylvie isn't in 'Ouroboros' all that much. Though she's mentioned a lot by Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who insists to Mobius (Owen Wilson) and Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) that they catch up to her before the Time Variance Authority does. (We already know from promotional material that the pair eventually reunite inside a McDonald's, as you do).
