But Miss Minutes fairs little better after she professes romantic love for him and is deactivated by Victor using a TemPad. 

Victor is not alone for long as Renslayer, Loki, Mobius, and Sylvie arrive at his laboratory. Sylvie gains control of the situation threatening Victor with her blade but allows Loki to take Victor back to the TVA, then sends Renslayer to the Citadel at the End of Time.
