Moon Knight Episode 2 “Summon The Suit” Synopsis
Moon Knight Character created by: Doug Moench

Episode Written by: Jeremy Slater
Episode Directed By: Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead
Waking up alive and unscathed, Steven Grant returns to work to find the toilets out of action. The footage of the events of the previous night does not have the jackal that attacked him in the frame and Steven is heavily implicated as the culprit of the vandalism at the British Museum.
Sacked from his job Steven checks out the storage container using the key he found in his apartment, to try and learn more about what the hell happened to him. ; and discovers a heap of military equipment, numerous fake passports and the stolen Scarab Beetle. In the container, as he tries to process this new discovery, he is once again visited by Marc Spector in a reflection, who explains that he serves Khonshu the God of the Moon and that he and, ultimately, Steven Grant are his avatar. Freaked out he runs out of the locker to be once again pursued by Khonshu.
Escaping the storage facility he collides into Marc Spector’s wife, Layla, who recognises Marc but doesn’t know Steven. He brings her back to his apartment where he discovers that she is divorcing Marc Spector and she doesn’t buy the identity of Steven. But with a knock at the flat door she is forced to escape the flat as police arrive and arrest Steven Grant on the grounds of stealing and being the fugitive, the mercenary Marc Spector, wanted in connection for the execution of an archaeological excavation team in Egypt.
After questioning, the police take Steven to Arthur Harrow at an inner city community he has rescued from decline. Arthur explains that he was once Khonshu’s avatar, the fist of vengeance, but grew weary of the ancient god’s justice to evil doers after the fact. He prefers a different sort of justice and that is why Harrow needs the Scarab Beetle to find his new god, Ammit, who he now serves, because she rooted out evil before it happened.
Steven cares not for the type of justice meted out by Ammit and tries to escape with the Scarab, but another jackal set upon him. With Marc pleading to Steven to give him control and summon the soup…I mean suit, Steven calls forth Mr Knight, a psycho looking Colonel Sanders, and not Moon Knight, to fight the jackal. As Mr Knight has trouble dealing with the Jackal, he loses the Scarab compass, which Arthur recovers; but as the fight gets more dangerous Steven gives Marc control and Moon Knight kebabs the hound.
Following the fight, the Marc Spector identity becomes dominant, refusing to let Steven’s identity come back, as both Marc and Khonshu have made a deal and that deal is leading Marc Spector back to Egypt.
