Men will literally serve an Egyptian god as their avatar on Earth instead of going to therapy.
Marc knows he needs help.
But our newest Marvel hero has a lot of emotional labor left to do.
Marc chases a group of young men across several rooftops and demands to know Harrows location.
Neither Steven nor Marc remembers doing this.
Could this be the work of Jake Lockley?
Thats the name given to Moon Knights third-most prominent alter, a cab driver in Marvel comics.
I have another theory.
The security guard at the museum where Steven used to work called him Scotty.
What if the guard isnt rude, and Scotty has been showing up to his alters job?
Anyway, keep this mystery person on the back burner because more pressing matters take precedence in the episode.
Since they cant simply follow Harrow to his dig site, Khonshu decides to do something theatrical.
He uses his limited powers to cause a partial eclipse.
There, hopefully, he can getthemto deal with Arthur and Ammit.
Inside the pyramid of Giza, Khonshu speaks through Marc and warns the Ennead of Harrows plan.
What plays out is honestly reminiscent of trying to report an offensive tweet to Twitter.
Khonshu/Marc makes his case.
The Ennead brings in Arthur to hear his side of the story.
Instead of defending himself, Arthur points out that Marc is mentally ill and accuses Khonshu of abusing him.
Arthur does make some interesting points about Khonshus role in all of this.
He was, after all, the Moon Gods avatar before Marc Spector.
He claims Khonshu manipulated him.
Two thousand years ago, it was encrypted onanothersarcophagus that has since ended up on the black market.
Luckily, he knows someone familiar with the black market and antiquities his ex-wife.
After trying and failing to get info from a juice vendor, Marc teams up with Layla.
Layla takes him to Anton Mogart, played by Gaspard Ulliel in one of his final roles.
Ullieldied in a skiing accident earlier this year, and the episode is dedicated to him.
Anton is an eccentric collector who happens to know Layla and happens to have the sarcophagus theyre seeking.
Unfortunately, Arthur also happens to show up, and a fight ensues.
He tempts Anton to join his side.
Arthur hints to Layla that theres more to her archaeologist fathers death than she realizes.
Hes not interested in dismantling world orders.
Hes just kind of a snoot and a pain in the neck.
More snoots in the MCU!
They need help from Steven, so Marc lets him drive for a bit.
The stars have moved ever so slightly over the millennia.
Khonshu offers a solution that comes with a price.
Speaking of the trio, theres definitely a vibe brewing between Layla and Steven, right?
Marc and Layla are complicated in a grown-up way that we dont often see in heightened superhero stories.
Theyre clearly a good team.
They communicate a lot with just their eyes and hands.
Theyre somehow honest with each other about not being honest with each other.
Its not smarmy or patronizing.
Its genuine, even though hes clearly still keeping secrets from her about her father.
IsMoon Knightsetting up the MCUs most bizarre love triangle yet?
Out of Orbit
Did Laylas forgery associate give her homemade Turkish delight?
Can I have some?
Is Marvel Studios full of nerds?!
(Neither Khonshu nor Ammit are members of the supergroup.)
Only five showed up to the meeting.
There are four empty chairs.
That is likely not a coincidence!
You may have noticed Marc wearing a black Chicago Cubs hat.
Much likeVanessa Hudgens inThe Princess Switch, Marc Spector hails from the Windy City.
