Yeah, we do. We see Marc and Steven's hearts out of balance, the scales unable to judge them - they could go either way, and eventually Marc does achieve balance. His fate wasn't predetermined.

And the fact that Ammit chooses an imbalanced soul as her avatar is a strong indication that she knows that what she's doing is wrong. A balanced avatar would come to oppose her - she needs a Harrow for what she intends to do.
But Harrow sensed that his scales were in conflict, so there wasn't a false positive reading or anything. Ammit was 100% right.

Khonshu seems to be doing alright with an imbalanced soul avatar.

Khonshu's talk about freewill is kinda moot if Ammit can 100% know if someone is going to do evil.

So, what I got from the whole thing is that she is "weighing the heart," like Marc needed to do with Tawaret on the boat.

But we see with Marc that the balance of the heart can change.

Which doesn't mean she's free to get back together with him. She has a whole new life now, and no doubt it's going to take some time for her to come to terms with it.

The goldfish was replaced during one of Steven's early blackouts. Having them both there is symbolic of Marc and Steven now coexisting.
Layla makes it clear to Taweret that the arrangement is temporary.

Of course, she seemed to really have fun during that final battle scene, so re-upping her agreement to be Taweret's avatar is likely.

Without knowing how and why the various gods were locked away, this would be a very risky move. Some may be worse than Ammit. Others may want to be locked away and respond poorly to being released ("Why did you awaken me, mortal insect?").
Smashing all of the statues wouldn't be wise . . . . but it would be FUN! For the viewers, at least!

Well the original Scarlet Scarab is Dr. Abdul Faoul, and Layla's father, who called her "little scarab", was named Dr. Abdallah El-Faouly.
Layla isn't really a brand-new character created for the show, but rather a character heavily modified from the comics to be almost new. But lots of ties to existing characters.
