[[WMG: Season 2 will include a flashback to show Jake defeating Harrow.]]
While cool, a fair few watchers were disappointing that we didn't actually see Jake beat Harrow, so including the fight in season 2 would serve as an AuthorsSavingThrow.

[[WMG: Jake doesn't have a different suit... at least not initially.]]
While the Doyalist explanation may be relating to the differences between Marc and Steven, the reason Steven has the Mr Knight suit is because he had no idea what the Moon Knight suit looked like, and interpreted "Summon the suit" by imagining Mr Knight. Jake, presumably, knew about the ceremonial armour like Marc did, and used it just like Marc.

Furthermore, while they do mostly avoid bringing it up anyway, to preserve the wham moment of Jake's arrival, Layla didn't mention a third suit, so whatever Jake did, she presumably assumed it was Marc, still in the Moon Knight suit.

However, if he is aware of the exploits of Marc and Steven, it is possible Jake will alter his suit to differentiate. Alternatively...

[[WMG: Marc will change his suit in Season 2.]]
Assuming Jake is using the same suit as Marc and assuming that Marc and Steven retain their powers, since Jake is still a part of them and connected to Khonshu (and assuming that marvel does ''make'' a season 2) it is possible that Marc will change his suit design in some way in season 2, for one of a few reasons.
* To make it easier for his allies to differentiate between Marc and Jake (as well as the audience)
* To show that he's no longer directly serving Khonshu.

[[WMG: Marc being surprised at Steven's apartment is because he's never really seen it]]
Marc is surprised to see Steven's apartment which, when you think about it, seems strange since we have been lead to assume that Steven's 'sleepwalking' was Marc getting up and leaving. But if that was the case, Marc wouldn't be surprised to see the state of the apartment since we also know that the various safeguards Steven setup would need to be reset and such; he would HAVE to be paying attention in order to have even the slightly chance of resetting things properly.

The only other option is that Jake is the one getting up and out of the apartment. He was serving as the bridge between the two lives and keeping the two of them separate (insofar far as his role in the system is concerned). And since we know that time and memory can be hazy for each alter as well as each alter being capable of 'editting' memories to protect the system (such as Steven not being allowed to know about their trauma). So Jake would get up, leave the apartment, then draw Marc to the front who would assume that Steven happened to be wherever they were. And then when Marc was done, he'd slip away thinking that Steven would front but it would actually be Jake who would front. Jake would then clean up, return to the apartment, and reset.

* Alternatively, they will realize that because Jake has a deal with Khonshu, they can access a (limited) set of his powers without Khonshu's explicit consent, similar to how Steven was initially able to summon the suit even though it was Marc that made the original deal. This would how Marc and Steven can evolve into a more active superhero while maintaining and controller Khonshu and Jake's more... extreme tendencies.

[[WMG: After this series, Moon Knight will be PutOnABus.]]
His actions will be brought up (as will the Egyptian gods), but himself will not be seen since he's not known in the wider superhero community. His absence would also allow Oscar Isaac to pursue other projects.

[[WMG: If there is a Season 2, or a future MCU project involving Moon Knight, Marc and Steven will have a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind with Jake.]]
As much as Jake and Khonshu would like to keep his existence a secret from them, Marc and Steven will eventually realize that they're still bound to Khonshu through Jake. This, and other events, would lead to a battle between the personalities over this, and Jake will ultimately be supressed within their subconscious and his contract with Khonshu dissolved, allowing Marc and Steven to finally live their lives free from Khonshu's control.

[[WMG: Layla will get her own spinoff show.]]
Disney and Marvel have already greenlit series for Agatha Harkness and Echo after their appearances in ''[=WandaVision=]'' and ''Hawkeye'', so it wouldn't be entirely surprising. Plus it would give them a chance to use Layla and her new Scarlet Scarab alias, as well explore more of Egyptian mythology and its place in the MCU. They could have Jake Lockley appear, either as a deuteragonist or as an antagonist for Layla to fight.

** Episode 6 does a lot to confirm this, indirectly at least. [[spoiler: Ammit straight-up says Arthur would be judged as a sinner on her scales for something he hasn’t done yet. However, by the end of the episode he hasn’t done anything (not sanctioned by Ammit herself) to land himself in that category before Jake shoots him dead. It seems likely that Ammit can only detect a possible sin in the future, not a guaranteed one.

Or at least, his suit will be based off of Shadow Knight. Given that Randall passed away young and how Mr. Knight was adapted to be Steven’s alter ego, this wouldn’t be too much of a stretch. Plus Jake is clearly the more “evil” of the three.

[[WMG: Layla will come to embrace being Scarlet Scarab]]
Despite her stressing that her being Taweret's avatar is supposed to be temporary, she may come to actually like it. A seed of this could've been planted when the girl she saved asked her if she was an Egyptian superhero. More importantly, Taweret isn't like Khonshu and Ammit - They were just trying to help save lives and doesn't appear to be demanding Layla to do anything too extreme. Given Layla's objections to killing, they may even come to have a better understanding than the other Egyptian gods and their avatars.

* With Marc stuck in the Egyptian paradise afterlife, and Steven essentially left for dead in the sands of the Duat, and Taweret noting that she cannot send them back to life in their body because they would die without the powers of Khonshu, who is sealed away, outside help must come from a different source. Each of the Ennead appear to have their own avatar on Earth, but Taweret's, if she has one, conspicuously hasn't been seen. She could empower Layla to help her fight the cult and, ideally, free Khonshu so that Marc and Steven can survive. It also would fit well with Marvel Studios' recent push for more diversity in their array of superheroes and put Marc[=/=]Steven and Layla on a more equal footing as a BattleCouple. It would also help keep her out of Khonshu's clutches for the foreseeable future.

Since the series seems to delve into Steven discovering that he was BloodKnight mercenary Marc Spector, it's likely that discovering he was a killer will put him into a major HeroicBSoD, especially when he realizes that it's this blood thirst that made him win Khonshu's approval to become Moon Knight. However, at the DarkestHour, the Jake Lockley persona will emerge, revealing that at some point Moon Knight genuinely tried to become a hero when under Jake's control. It's this slow burn reveal of this third persona that will help Steven come to terms with his mental illness and embrace Moon Knight as more than an avatar for Khonshu's vengeance.

[[WMG: Harrow will bring up Wendy to try and win Marc over to his side]]
Harrow's powers allow him to see into the pasts of others by his own admission and it's likely that he's been able to get a good read of Marc's by this point. He'll bring up the point that if Ammit had been free then Wendy would never have been allowed the chance to abuse Marc like she had. This will ''not'' be a smart idea on Harrow's end. Marc will not take this attempted manipulation well at all. He'll point out that as much as he hated Wendy for her abuse he never wanted her dead and will go as far saying that in his eyes [[ThatManIsDead his mother died with his brother]] and whatever was left behind was just some hollow mockery of her that stuck around until she was buried.
