I mostly believe the finale episode headed into the right direction.

I'm glad to see how Marc's character development grew along the series and seeing him here was great. Saving Steven by Marc's choice was also good for me too. I really love the start of these two personalities to be complete opposites of each other to later become inseparable as seen in this episode. The reveal of Layla's superhero alter-ego was incredible. I saw so much of female and Egyptian identities represented well through Layla. I absolutely adored the action scenes too. I really love the enlarged battle between Khonshu and Amit. I completely disregarded the quality of CGI in this battle and just went along for the epic battle of the gods, and I was throughly entertained, believe me.

On the contrary, I will admit to points that didn't sit well with me as I watched this episode. Starting with the runtime, considering the ridiculous amount of time for ending credits to include the cast, crew, & international credits and how short the episode is compared to the first five episodes, I was worried this episode would rush through to end. Unfortunately, I stand correct.

The scene where Marc switches to Jake to take down Marrow felt cheated to me. That scene felt like the series had to cut a whole minute or two to keep the ball rolling, except the ball ended up bouncing over the surface that it was suppose to roll on and landed on the spot that continues the narrative.

I'm glad we got to see an appearance of Jake Lockley, but I am a bit disappointed that the build up to introduce him took a whole season up to the very last minute of the show.

I don't want to complain about this episode. I did enjoy it.
