  • Genius Bonus: In the tribunal for Harrow, Harrow manages to dodge examination by re-directing questioning to Marc, who is forced to admit his DID, when he seems to know that this would harm his and Khonshu's case against Harrow. In Egyptian myth, the judgment of the dead was based on negative confessions, i.e. "I did not do X", which means that if you don't say anything, then it is assumed you did do that sin. And lying was grounds for being devoured as much as a sin itself. By redirecting to Marc, Harrow was able to avoid having to say a lie or not answering at all while also forcing Marc into the same difficult situation.
  • Realism-Induced Horror: Harrow using Marc's D.I.D. to discredit his testimony and make him seem unstable will be this for many viewers with mental illnesses. How many people with mental illness in real life have had the same tactic used against them when trying to report abuse or other mistreatment? Add to this the subtext that one of the supposedly neutral authority figures seems to be either in league with or at least sympathetic towards Harrow (who has tried to have Steven killed at least twice, three times if you count his attempted judgment in the museum), and you've got a situation that many viewers will find horrifyingly familiar.
