"I squashed it, I squashed it."
I was enjoying Moon Knight already... but that was a turn to the unexpected. Shades of Legion there.
The bulk of the episode, with Steven and Layla exploring the tomb, is perhaps a little slow, despite the hostile mummies and the revelations. Layla and Steven are getting on really rather well, and Marc is jealous, keeping his distance from Layla only to protect her from Khonshu. It's a very interesting two body love triangle.
Yet we also have the revelation that Marc's "partner" killed Layla's father. Is this "partner" a third persona, perhaps the same one as has been hinted at before, a bloodthirsty killer?
We also have the tomb of Alexander the Great. And Steven showing himself to be a bloody good arccaeologist.
The conversation between Layla and Harrow is fascinating. But not as fascinating as what happens when Harrow shoots Marc, and reality gets very weird and uncertain. I don't really think that Marc is in a mental home and Harrow is his psychiatrist, but I have no idea what's going on. And I like not knowing.
And then a bloody hippo-headed goddess appears. Brilliantly bonkers.
