Moon Knight's Ending Explained (In Detail)
Warning: SPOILERS for Moon Knight episode 6.
Marvel Studios' latest Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ show has come to a close, as Moon Knight's ending delivers a twist-filled finale and teases the future. Starring Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector/Steven Grant, the alters of Moon Knight have continued to serve Khonshu in their pursuit of stopping Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) from releasing Ammit's judgment upon the Earth. The quest to defeat the Egyptian god took a surprising turn more recently, though, as the series explored Moon Knight's mental health, multiple identities, and tragic backstory.
After most of Moon Knight episode 5's events occur in Marc's past and the Egyptian underworld, Moon Knight episode 6 delivers a surprising ending that encapsulates all the moving parts of the show's story. Marc Spector grapples with the death of Steven Grant and whether or not he wants to enjoy the afterlife without him. Due to his presumed death, Layla (May Calamawy) is put in a position to help save the world by releasing Khonshu from his imprisonment. Meanwhile, Arthur Harrow successfully releases Ammit and brings judgment upon humanity and the Egyptian gods that kept Ammit locked away for so long.

All of this allows Moon Knight's ending to blend the exploration of Marc and Steven's relationship with an action-packed battle of the gods. Through it all, the show primarily focuses on wrapping up its main story instead of setting up a more significant piece of the MCU's Phase 4 future. In that respect, Moon Knight episode 6 stays true to its previous episodes, as the MCU series has a surprisingly limited number of connections to the larger universe.
