Look, that is supehero stuff and nothing is ever as straightforward because it seems to be. In any case, Marc and Steven’s information via the afterlife was none aside from a chipper British-sounded Egyptian goddess with the top of a hippopotamus. We left regular ages in the past.

Nonetheless, when she discovered they’d want extra Avatars to have the ability to defeat Ammit by trapping her in a human physique, Layla lastly agreed to a deal — with hippo-headed Arewet. She then joined forces with an built-in Moon Knight after he got here again to life and the 2 superheroes gave us a superb old style superhero v. supervillain brawl with Harrow and his Ammit-transformed workers.
We received some very cool motion sequences with Moon Knight and Mr. Knight consciously switching locations. However in the end, they had been none of them sufficient to defeat Harrow, who managed to entice Layal and stab Moon Knight.
However that is when Marc blacked out once more and we jumped forward to a scene of destruction, all of Harrow’s males useless and Harrow bludgeoned fairly badly and unconscious. Even Layla appeared shocked by what she’d seen — and it wasn’t Steven.

Why did Marc and Steven nonetheless shackle themselves to the mattress?
When Marc and Steven wakened on the finish of the episode in Steven’s house, we received a repeat of the primary episode, with them once more shackled to the mattress, which was surrounded by sand. Contemplating they’re built-in, why did they do this? How lengthy have they been again that they are already doing that? Is it out of concern for what the third alter would possibly rise up to? It did not appear to cease Marc from coming and going as he happy.
Why did not Marc acknowledge the house?
Marc was criticizing Steven’s house as if he had no recollection of it, and but he should have seen it. Steven began shackling himself to the mattress as a result of Steven left. Plus, Marc planted the burner cellphone and all that stuff up in Steven’s partitions, so he has to have been there. After which there’s the actual fact there at the moment are two fish within the tank, suggesting their hybrid existence. But when they’ve two fish, then this is not their first morning again, so why is Marc choosing on the place now like they simply received there?

Did Ammit die together with Harrow?
Can a god really die? Jake shot Harrow point-blank — regardless that we did not see it, we are able to speculate that a lot — however does that imply each Harrow and Ammit are useless? It appears a bit of odd to have the ability to simply kill a god like that, however maybe that is what occurs if you put the spirit of a god inside a human being. No person inform Thor!
Who owns the limo Jake was driving?
We see a SPCTR license plate on the limo Jake is driving, so does that imply it is Marc’s limousine? So does that imply Jake thinks he is Marc’s driver? Marc and Steven did not used to find out about one another; or a minimum of Steven knew nothing about Marc. Does Jake find out about both of them? We’re undecided how he may drive for Marc if he is Marc, so possibly there’s one other Spector? Possibly the Spectors are wealthy and he works for the household — however then would not they acknowledge him as Marc?
The place do Marc and Jake reside?
We have seen Steven’s house, however clearly Marc has one other place of his personal he was dwelling in; probably with Layla. So the place is that? Is he Batman wealthy, not unprecedented on the earth of “Moon Knight,” and so Marc lives in an enormous manor someplace whereas Steven sweats it out on this house. If Marc has a lifetime of his personal, how did he clarify his personal lengthy absences. In any case, Steven was capable of preserve a job, which means he was there lots. On high of that, what about Jake? The place does he reside that he has entry to this limo, and what’s his consciousness of time misplaced when issues like Steven holding a job are factored in. Is Jake a driver, and so he additionally holds down a job? No surprise they’re so disoriented. With all these jobs, how would they sleep? And the way may Layla not find out about any of those alters if she was married to Marc? Did they not spend a lot time collectively?
As you possibly can see, we’re nonetheless scratching our heads about so many issues, they’re simply going to need to carry again Marc and Steven and Jake (and Layla, too)!
