If you have a story to tell, I'd assume that you would want to get to the point fairly quikly.
This episode however is completly devoid of any actual plot. It introduces us to some exposition, telling more than it shows, but that could've been explained in a few minutes. Instead, we get 40 minutes of chasing. Loki and his companion, Mobius search for one person, then they search for that person, then they chase a little more and that's basicall all that happens.
Little of the previous conflicts were resolved, the plot ended where it began. Instead of actually following some linear progression, the writers just introduce one random problem after the other. The plot is approaching some real end, but it never reaches it.
To be honest, i can't even remember what it was that they were trying to solve in the first place. The end of the first season suggested that someone else took over the TVA. Then Loki switched timelines within the TVA (for some reason, they never said why), then they needed to restart their time-power-generator. I don't think the writers themselves knew where to go with this.
What is this mess? Well, i'm not going to figure out. This show has made it clear that it does not value my time and doesn't expect me to remember anything for more than 20 minutes.
