Episode 4 of Moon Knight begins with Layla desperate for Steven to wake up, who is still asleep in the sand from all the Khonshu attacks that occurred last week.
Khonsu is caught and kept within the pyramid, prompting Layla to follow in a car loaded with many goons. Layla fires a flare and throws it at the jeep, after which the bullets explode and save the situation.
As Steven awakens, the couple drives off in their jeep and heads out to the excavation site, where they discover it abandoned.
