In the Void, Mobius rescued Sylvie from Alioth and expressed remorse for his actions. Mobius and Sylvie reunited with Loki and three other variants. As she and Loki prepared to face Alioth, Sylvie gave Mobius her stolen TemPad and he opened a Time Door out of the Void, but the other variants rejected his offer to leave the Void. Mobius said a fond goodbye to Loki and Sylvie, stating that he was going to return to the TVA, reveal the truth, and burn it all down.

"Ouroboros"[]

It's revealed that after being sent back to the TVA, Loki was experiencing time slipping and had landed in the past when Sylvie sent him through the Time Door, thus resulting in him meeting a Mobius who did not know Loki yet. Loki was forced to evade Mobius and other TVA agents before being sent back to the present.

In the present, Mobius and Hunter B-15 discussed the implications of the Sacred Timeline branching and put out an order to stop pruning the branches. The two were called to answer for their actions before the judge's council that took the still-missing Ravonna Renslayer's place. Hunter defended their actions and revealed that they were all Variants and while General Dox argued for pruning the new branches, Judge Gamble ordered for all pruning to be stopped immediately. Loki appeared in the War Room and used a Time Stick to burn away a mural and reveal a hidden statue of He Who Remains, causing Dox to order for Sylvie to be found by Hunter X-05.

Loki explained to Mobius what he had learned from He Who Remains and how freeing the Sacred Timeline meant that Variants of He Who Remains were coming to wage war. Concerned about Loki's disappearances, Mobius took him to Repairs & Advancement where O.B. revealed that Mobius, who had no memory of it, was the last person to visit him four hundred years before after getting lost. Loki time slipped into the past where he spoke with O.B. about his time slipping there while Mobius spoke about it with O.B. in the present. O.B. revealed to the two that Mobius would have to use a Temporal Aura Extractor on the Temporal Loom in order to pull Loki out of the time stream and into the present while Loki had to prune himself with a Time Stick, but being close to the Temporal Loom for too long would cause Mobius' skin to peel off.

However, O.B. realized that the TVA's power surges were being caused by the Temporal Loom overloading due to all of the new branches on the timeline. With no one willing to prune the new branches, O.B. would need to seal the blast doors to protect the TVA until he could find a way to retrofit the Loom to handle all of the branches, but it meant that they had to resynch Loki immediately who suddenly slipped into the future. Wearing a protective suit, Mobius successfully deployed the Extractor, but Loki struggled to find a Timestick in the future to prune himself with, forcing O.B. to close the blast doors as Mobius struggled to make it back. At the last possible second, Loki was pruned from behind by an unknown individual and was yanked from the Loom with such force that he flung himself and Mobius through the closing blast doors. Having witnessed the Loom reaching critical in the future, Loki told his friend that they had to find Sylvie.

"Science/Fiction"[]

In the 2022 Cleveland, Ohio of a branched timeline, Don - a single father with two sons - attempted to sell a jet ski to a potential customer without success. Loki recognized Don as Mobius M. Mobius, but much like Frank Morris, Don had no idea who Loki was or anything about the TVA.

Loki reappeared outside of Don's house where Loki witnessed his friend struggling with his children Kevin and Sean. Recognizing Loki as the customer from before, Don offered to sell him one of Don's two jet skis, and Loki recalled Mobius' fascination with jet skis and the possibility of owning them. However, Don was dubious about Loki's story about the TVA and Don being Mobius, thinking that Loki was just insane until Dr. A.D. Doug emerged from a Time Door in front of them, having spent 19 months building a TemPad, losing his wife, home and job in the process. Using the Time Door, Loki and Doug showed Don the truth by taking him back in time by a few minutes to witness the start of Loki and Don's conversation with each other. After Loki promised that he could bring Don back to any point in time so that Kevin and Sean wouldn't even know that he was gone and explained that his children were in danger too, Don finally agreed to help, acknowledging that Mobius was a pretty cool name. Loki then successfully recruited Verity Willis and Frank into their mission and brought them back to Doug's new home which had the appearance of a more primitive version of O.B.'s office at the TVA.

Impatient to return to his life, Frank expressed an interest in the TemPad and the possibilities that it held for his criminal activities while Dr. Willis enjoyed Doug's books and Don unsuccessfully tried to sell her a jet ski. Upon his return, a despondent Loki ordered his friends to go back to their lives where they belonged. However, Sylvie arrived with the news that everything was falling apart, and the branches were dying. With everyone present, Doug attempted to enact their plan, only to discover the TemPad missing. Although Frank was accused of stealing it, he was proven to be innocent as the timeline and everyone in it began breaking down as reality came to an end. His friends' words running through his head, Loki desperately grasped at the strings of reality before suddenly time slipping back to moments earlier as he was about to disintegrate himself.

Loki managed to send himself back in time to Sylvie's arrival, having finally figure out how to control his time slipping: rather than it being about where, when, or why, it was about who. Loki declared that he could rewrite the story and, focusing on O.B., time slipped back to the TVA, appearing next to O.B. before the explosion.

Trivia[]

Mobius has expressed a repeated interest in jet skis and, after learning that he was a variant in "The Nexus Event," wondered if he may have owned one before his abduction. As revealed in "Science/Fiction," Mobius used to be a jet ski salesman and owned two jet skis of his own.
- Mobius learned about this in "Glorious Purpose" as he not only got his own file, but one of Don's jet skis was in the driveway when Mobius visited him.
Mobius is the only variant shown visiting his Sacred Timeline counterpart, albeit from a distance.
