Echo - Chafa

Spinning out of the events of Hawkeye, Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) gets her own five-episode series with Echo. The opening episode “Chafa” feels a bit oddly cobbled together. Following an elaborate opening sequence taking place outside of time and space alluding to the origins of the Choctaw, we’re given an episode focused on the childhood of young Maya (Darnell Besaw) growing up, racing through some individual scenes going into the family business, with the events of Hawkeye oddly jammed in, before picking up the thread of what happened to the character after the events of Hawkeye.

Loki - 1893

For a series where the stakes are the every life in existence, it seems a bit weird to do a mostly farcical episode like “1893” which only undermines further Kang (Jonathan Majors) as a legitimate big bad in the MCU, but I’ve only read comics for four decades so what do I know. While the TVA continues to break down, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Mobius (Owen Wilson), and later Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), catch up to the missing Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and an overly goofy con man Kang variant whose history the former agent of the TVA and Miss Minutes (Tara Strong) have being manipulating to put him on the path to become a replacement .

Loki - Breaking Bad

Largely ignoring more immediate threats, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Mobius (Owen Wilson) go in search of the missing Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) which leads them to Hunter X-05 (Rafael Casal) who abandoned his hunt for Sylvie to live out his life as a movie star in the late 1970s. The majority of the episode features Loki and Mobius capturing X-05 and then threatening and torturing him for information (showing off a bit of Loki’s more sinister side) before eventually leading to Loki’s reunion with Sylvie and basically lucking into a discovery of just what some members of the TVA are up to.

Loki - Ouroboros

The First Season of Loki was at its best when it was wild and chaotic and kept Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and the audience off guard. Things got a bit problematic at the end when events had to be explained. Unfortunately still locked into a Kang (Jonathan Majors) storyline, the show does get back to basics with Loki time-slipping through different eras inside the TVA. The episode introduces Ke Huy Quan as Ouroboros who is incredulous at Loki’s predicament but still helpful in offering a quite dangerous way he could be saved by removing himself from the timeline with the help of Mobius (Owen Wilson) who manages to not get his skin ripped off.
