In The Friendly Type, Marc is in Egypt, trying to get to the location of Ammit's Tomb before Harrow does.
We find that the Marc version of Moon Knight is kind of a jerk. Even worse, there may be a third personality who is something of a vicious killer. We don't see that version, just the bodies left behind.
Layla, Marc's wife, does a spectacular job of working with both the Marc and Stephen personalities, and calling out which is needed in a given situation. Who could be that adaptable? It almost seems to me that she likes Stephen better. Not only is he kind, but his knowledge of ancient Egypt matches her own.
In an effort to locate Ammit's tomb, Khonshu turns back the night sky so the stars match the day Ammit was buried. Layla's computer program can help match the coordinates from their former position.
Khonshu knows this will bring down the other old gods upon him, but he wants Harrow stopped.
When the gods convene and accuse Khonshu (Marc the avatar of Khonshu is confronted by the avatars of the others), they bring in Harrow as a witness. Harrow tells them Marc is an individual who is very ill, possessed of multiple personalities. As Khonshu's former avatar, he knows well how cruel and manipulative Khonshu is. Harrow is slitheringly compelling, and the gods take his counsel and turn Khonshu into a small stone stature.
Now it's up to Marc, Layla and Stephen to stop Harrow and Ammit.
I thought the episode would just be giving Marc screen time so we knew his character as well as Stephen's, and it does that, but the ongoing nature of Moon Knight's split personality, with both aspects having useful skills presents an interesting problem. Is there a way to share the body and work together?
