"Unless we're supposed to get other Variants of Kang. Is that, y'know, a plot point? Like, do the Avengers have to fight him in some kind of...season finale?"

"You're not possessed. You have a -- we have a condition. My name's Marc. I haven't been around much lately, because you didn't need me, but...well, right now, you do."

After a long stretch of being trapped in an artificial reality, Marc, Steven, and Jake are more than ready to get back to normal.

Spending time with Layla! Traveling to visit friends! Going on Moon Knight missions! Losing time and having no idea who was fronting when they get back!

...wait, what was that last one?

Team Moon Knight's therapist is used to treating patients with weird supernatural experiences, but "re-adjusting to reality after living through a second childhood in a magic sitcom" is a new one.

She's used to adapting family therapy for unconventional relationships, but "our friend who's close to our age IRL, but was cast in the magic sitcom as the loving mother we never had" is another new one.

And she's used to having psychics on her couch, but Wanda Maximoff is...well, you get the idea.

Elias figures, if he wants any chance of getting the real reason why, he has to travel to London and ask the Avengers in person.
