Khonshu turned back the hands of time to show the position of the stars 2,000 years ago, thereby angering the gods.
The fight scene in the compound gave us more of a glimpse of Moon Knight’s powers, and showed better cooperation between Marc and Steven when in their Moon Knight/Mr Knight guises.įinally, to the desert, where Steven came into his own and even won over Khonshu, who had previously described him as “the worm”. Harrow, meanwhile, hinted at knowing the truth about the murder of Layla’s father, and Marc’s reaction to the topic suggested that he, too, knows exactly what happened. There is something about men who ride horses shirtless then slip on a silk robe, still sweaty from the mock jousting competition they’ve been staging in their palace compound while surrounded by henchmen, that makes me think “This guy seems like a baddie.” I was right – such instincts! Anton Mogart is clearly not a good person, and will be back to settle his obvious beef with Layla, if nothing else. While I enjoyed the episode, this seemed like a strange plot development. Given Harrow is nearby and has located Ammit’s tomb, would it not have been easier to track him down, rather than chase after the sarcophagus? Marc Spector is supposedly an expert tracker, and by this point had Layla to help him, not to mention the assistance of a god. He must find Senfu’s sarcophagus, recently sold on the black market – Senfu being the only person to record the location of Ammit’s tomb.

Whichever, the trial was over and Khonshu/Marc/Steven left disappointed, but not before Hathor revealed that there was another way to find the tomb of Ammit. “We will not tolerate violence in this chamber,” was perhaps a deliberate nod to “ You can’t fight in here, this is the War Room,” from Dr Strangelove, or perhaps it wasn’t and I just couldn’t take it seriously. Once accused, Harrow denied that he was hoping to resurrect Ammit, and that Khonshu – jealous, paranoid and unhinged – was not to be trusted, nor was his avatar, an unwell man who doesn’t know his own name.Īs if proving the charges levelled at him, Marc tried to strike Harrow. (How many of future MCU plotlines will have to introduce narrative points to explain why entities with supreme powers didn’t step in to stop the mad Titan? First Eternals, now this.) We also learned that the gods had abandoned Earth, which explains why they didn’t intervene when Thanos decided to wipe out half of the universe’s population. Yatzil, the avatar of Hathor, the goddess of music and love, was friendlier than the others, even hinting at a romance between her boss and Khonshu once upon a time.
So Marc went inside the Great Pyramid of Giza with just an excited Steven for company and met his fellow avatars. Khonshu’s signal of causing an eclipse prompted a meeting with the other Egyptian deities, the ones who banished him the last time they saw him. Three’s a crowdĪngering the gods … Khonshu, Steven and Layla turning back time. David Ganly as Billy even laughed like Sallah. Out in the field, Harrow and his acolytes celebrated the fact that they had found Ammit’s tomb, in a scene that could have come straight from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. We began with Layla getting a fake passport and confiding in the forger about how confused she is by her husband’s alter ego, Steven – while making reference to the dangers of going back to Egypt. Maybe bingeing on a show hampers your enjoyment and understanding. Many claimed that this episode was where things went a little askew – Empire said this is where the plot became “nebulous and occasionally hard to follow” – and while I did share that view when I watched the first four episodes in one go, my opinion has changed since rewatching one a week in order to write these recaps.
