The conclusion of "Loki" Episode 2 made my jaw drop and my smile break out - but this morning, some wizened detectives have found out even more, so I've updated this article. Reader beware: If the headline wasn't clear enough, consider this a spoiler warning--this article discusses the events of "Loki" episode 2.

And before anyone asks, so: one reading of the ending of this Loki episode actually ties into both the comic and the hints recently dropped on social media. This ending is not just Disney and Marvel Studios' modern rewrite of the character of Loki. This ending is not just Disney and Marvel Studios rewriting the character of Loki in a modern way.

And before we dive into the final shot, let me give you some background. Episode 1 of the Loki TV series established the show's worldview, and we're now deep into the series' time-travel buddy-cop dynamic. Loki and Mobius (and often Time Variance Authority agents) are on the trail of the fugitive mutant Loki. They start in 1985 at the Renaissance Fair in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where Loki stalls for time and proves unreliable.

Even if the fugitive wanted to believe that he was not Loki, he reveals quite early on that he probably is. Thus, the strategy employed by Mobius (Owen Wilson) - that he must team up with Loki to hunt Loki - proved to be effective.

Loki then discovers that this subspecies is hiding undetected in the apocalypse-stricken timeline. Why? Because when the nexus events diverge, their changes go undetected. [And after Loki and Mobius visit Pompeii to prove the former's hunch, they end up in a shopping mall in 2050.

And at that mall, Loki and hunter B-15 (Ummi Mosaku) split from the pack to hunt for the fugitive Loki. However, they find that they are not. Somehow, the fugitive Loki has jumped into B-15's body and continues this game of moving from body to body throughout the store.

When Loki asks what he should call the fugitive variants, they say, "Just call me Randy." And throughout the episode, we continue to see "Randy" in the cloaked posture.

At least that is until the last shot, when the hood comes off and actress Sofia di Martino's face pops out. When Loki says to the mutant, "This isn't about you," we understand what we have just seen.

Or so we thought.

This is rooted in the comics and Loki show press materials. First, in the fifth episode of Thor in 2008, Lady Loki was resurrected in a female body. And then there was Loki giving birth. No, not a human being. Loki once transformed into a white mare and gave birth to a horse named Sleipnir.

Finally, there is a promotional video about the film released by Disney. If you look closely at the first image in the video, you will see that Loki's gender is listed as Fluid. This is consistent with Norse mythology, which states that Loki can always change into any form he wishes.

Inverse interviewed Tom Hiddleston about this and he said that "the breadth and scope of identity in the character has been emphasized and has always been something I was aware of since I was first cast 10 years ago," and that he has been He said he had been aware of this for some time.

Nevertheless, Twitter's keen eye noticed something different in the end credits. Specifically, it was the Castilian narration. It turns out that the character's voice actor is credited as Sylvie's voice actor.

And it didn't take long for people to recall the second appearance of the enchantress. Loki gave this Marvel Comics character his powers back in "Dark Rain: Young Avengers" #1 (2009). She is unaware that Loki gave her powers and speculates that he is after some sort of revenge, or just general confusion.

After all, Sylvie blew up the sacred timeline, creating all kinds of situations from ego to Hera.

If Castile's credits prove true, we don't have a female Loki as much as a female disciple of Loki. We will have to wait for the third episode of "Loki" to see which is true.
