1The Scales of Justice
Tawaret asked both, Marc Spector and Steven Grant to balance their hearts on a scale to prevent them from reaching Duat. This scale is believed to be the Scales of Justice.
This scale, in Egyptian Mythology, is used by Anubis, the god of death, to weigh the heart of a deceased person. A feather of Ma’at, the God of Justice is placed on the other scale to help Anubis decide the fate of the soul. It would either go to an afterlife or cease to exist completely in the realm of Duat.

2‘Tomb Buster’ Poster
Marc Spector has a poster from the film “Tomb Buster” hanging in his bedroom. This poster has an interesting name on it. That of “Dough Perlin”. That is the name of the fictional character who plays Steven Grant in the fictional movie.
3The Ancestral Plane
The hippo goddess (Taweret) states that Marc is dead. She says that Spector is making his way through the afterlife in accordance with Egyptian mythology. Further, she says that there are many in-between places for souls and refers to the Ancestral Plane as “just gorgeous”. We have seen this “gorgeous” Ancestral Plane before. It is the place that Black Panther goes to communicate with their ancestors.

5Randall Spector – The Dead Brother
Fans of the comic books might have been anticipating Marc’s brother and antagonist, Randall Spector to appear in the series, however, the show did things differently. Instead of coming as an antagonist, we find out that his brother died in childhood in a horrible accident. Their mother blamed him for his demise.
6Putnam Medical Facility in Moon Knight
Episode 5 sees Marc attending a therapy session with Dr. Harrow in a facility. The name of the ward happens to be Putnam Medical Facility. This is similar to the “Putnam Psychiatric Hospital” from Jeff Lemire’s Moon Knight comic books. When the first instances of his DID began surfacing, Marc was taken to this hospital by his father.
7Steven Grant’s Goldfish Explained
Randall Spector is shown drawing a goldfish with crayons on the day he died. The fish has a single fin. This might explain why Grant has the single finned goldfish, Gus, as his pet. A remnant of a suppressed trauma. The same artwork is later spotted on a wall in Marc’s bedroom.
