'Moon Knight' Ending Explained: Did Marc Spector Beat Arthur Harrow?

Moon Knight came to an epic conclusion with the release of its sixth episode on Wednesday, May 4.

The show revealed which reality was the right one, saw Oscar Isaac's dual character Marc Spector/Steven Grant fight their way back from the afterlife, and showed how he fared against villain Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke).

Here is everything you need to know about the show's season finale.

'Moon Knight' Ending Explained: Did Marc Spector Beat Arthur Harrow?

In Episode 5, Marc entered the Egyptian afterlife of the Field of Reeds with Steven left frozen in the sands of the Duart.

Rather than live an afterlife of eternal peace, Marc decided to try and save Steven and return to the world of the living, all while wife Layla El-Faouly (May Calamawy) tried to free Khonshu from his bonds.

Layla manages to find and free the Egyptian moon god as Harrow does the same with Ammit, another deity who judges human souls and wants to cleanse the world of all evil (as Thanos did, but with more focus).

Marc reunites with Steven in the Duart and, seeing their bond, Egyptian god Osiris resurrects the pair, who then go fight Harrow as a team.

The superhero is joined by Layla, who now has powers of her own after agreeing to become the avatar to Hippo goddess Taweret, and they face off against Harrow as Khonshu does the same with Ammit.

Layla and Marc/Steven do their best to fight off Harrow but the villain proves to be too much, and Isaac's character is forced into a tight spot, so much so that it appears that he might not be able to avoid death a second time.

Luckily for him, another personality takes over his being and defeats Harrow, whose body Marc/Steven and Layla then uses to bind Ammit to the mortal realm, thus making her beatable in turn.

Khonshu demands that Marc/Steven kills Harrow/Ammit because the villains won't stop unless they're dead, but the hero has a change of heart in the last minute and instead demands to be freed from his ties to the moon god.

The deity reluctantly agrees and Marc/Steven is thrown back into the alternate reality in which he is a patient in a psychiatric facility, where Harrow is his doctor not his enemy.

While it appears this reality might be the real one then, the two storylines begin to merge together as Dr Harrow starts walking with the same glass-filled shoes that his villainous counterpart uses in the other reality.

Dr Harrow claims that their "work here continues," but Marc/Steven claims that he'd rather "go save the world" and he returns himself to the other reality.

Marc/Steven then wakes up back at the latter's London apartment, where he is still chained to a bed, thus suggesting that he is trying to stop his third personality from "roaming" without his knowledge.

The show ends with Marc/Steven sprawled on the floor, back in the position that he was in at the start of the very first episode.

This could mean one of several things: Marc/Steven are trying to stop the third personality, or he is actually still bound to a chair in the psychiatric facility in the "real" world and it is manifesting as the shackles in his "imagined" world.

No doubt this will be something dealt with in a future season of the show, or potentially even a movie based on the character.

Moon Knight is available to watch in full on Disney+ now.
