Ammit can eliminate people before they’ve even done anything bad! Isn’t that better? No! No, it isn’t! Goddamn it, Harrow. He tells Steven he cannot trust the moon god that his justice comes too late. This includes the first of two twists I was definitely not expecting: Harrow is one of Khonshu’s former avatars, and now despises him. The set design really helps it’s been sublime so far.Īrthur Harrow’s followers arrive and take Steven to his base, where Harrow realizes that Marc is mentally unwell and decides to open up about his evil plan. I might be in the minority here, but I also appreciate the way the show uses reflective surfaces to underscore the conflict between Marc and Steven. This is all quite heart-breaking, and I love all the subtle character work in this episode. It appears that Marc’s alternate identity has unwittingly embraced these things as a way to stay close to Layla. In a reflection, Marc is distressed by Layla’s arrival, even as Steven expresses a love for French poetry and hieroglyphics – Layla’s own passions. She is aware that he is the Moon Knight, and has seemingly processed that wild information long ago, but when Steven desperately tries to convince Layla that he isn’t Marc, she is confused. She is apparently Marc’s estranged wife who he abandoned some time ago. Having featured as a disembodied voice in the previous episode, Layla has since tracked the flip phone. Naturally, Steven believes this to be utter nonsense, so he takes Marc’s things and runs away, pursued by a terrifying vision of Khonshu. Marc has been tasked with protecting the vulnerable and dealing out justice. Steven also finds the golden scarab he stole as Marc during episode one, and Marc and Steven finally have a heart-to-heart where “handsome” Marc finally explains that he serves the moon god Khonshu, and is his avatar on earth. After chatting to Crawley and using a storage locker key as a clue, Steven discovers the safe place where Marc stores his gun, money, and passport, and the disgusted way Steven discarded said gun absolutely slayed me Isaac is doing some phenomenal physical comedy in this show. To his credit, Steven is starting to think it might be a good idea regardless of his current employment status, but he decides to seek further proof that Marc, Khonshu, and Harrow are all real nonetheless. Steven is summarily fired for his part in their destruction while his HR manager offers him an opportunity to attend a mental health group. The damage to the museum’s toilets is certainly very real. The answer is none, bar Steven pelting it about the museum with the wind up his arse, but at the end of the footage we see Marc give the camera a surly look, and Steven is understandably upset. As such, we join Steven Grant after his encounter with the jackal while he attempts to figure out how much of the horrifying experience was caught on camera. “Is Marc Spector just imagining all this?” has been a question that Marvel Comics has waltzed with before, and episode two of Moon Knight, “Summon the Suit”, also decides it’s fair game via his alternate identity. This review contains spoilers for Marvel’s Moon Knight Moon Knight Episode 2
