Warning: spoilers for Loki season 2, episode 5
Summary

Episode 5 of Loki season 2 explores the origins of Mobius' jet ski obsession, revealing a tragic backstory tied to his wife's loss.
Mobius, once a variant with a different life, was sent back to 2022 where he owned jet skis and longed for the happy moments he lost.
Despite multiple mind wipes, Mobius never forgot about jet skis, making them a symbolic connection to his past and his family.

The fifth episode of Loki season 2 showed what each member of Loki’s (Tom Hiddleston) TVA team did before they were taken by He Who Remains, and Mobius’ (Owen Wilson) origin not only explained his jet ski obsession but made it darker. After the cliffhanger ending of episode 4, Loki continued its second season with a fifth episode that answered some questions but made way for many others. After the explosion of the Temporal Loom, Loki was revealed to have survived, but he started time-slipping again as the TVA headquarters “spaghettified”, just like Victor Timely did when he tried to reach the Temporal Loom.
While Loki and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) survived, though for very different reasons, the rest of the team – Mobius, Hunter B-5, O.B., and Casey – were reset to their original lives in branching timelines. Loki’s time-slipping sent him to visit each of them, but they obviously didn’t know who he was – luckily, O.B. (whose real name was A.D. Doug) believed everything he said and helped him by building a new TemPad. However, leaving his life to help Loki wasn’t easy for Mobius, and Loki episode 5 not only explained Mobius’ jet ski obsession but also gave it a very sad backstory.
