(Could've sworn I posted another of these since the first one! But apparently not. Our heroes get through the plot of Cap 4, and check out Wanda's new place.)

Elias meets Khonshu! It goes great for everyone.

Elias Spector has done some research on DID, including the articles Marc sent him. He's read up on the famous superheroes, like the Scarlet Witch, that Marc is apparently friends with. And, in particular, he's looked into the hero(es) that he's...about 90% sure Marc secretly is.

Marc, Steven, and Jake have hashed out exactly how much they're going to share with Marc's father. They've put together some visual aids. They've called in their loved ones to provide emotional support...and, if necessary, a getaway driver.

It's a lot of prep and care and effort, on all sides!

It just might be enough to get them through lunch.

Andrea met Steven first, then eventually Marc and Jake. She's met their boss, their wife, a few of their dearest friends, and even their recently-reawakened inner child.

But there's one headmate in this series who's never shown up in her office.

Until now?

"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?"

"New rule. Let's save time and just assume we're not recycling any team names from anyone's dead friends."

"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.
