The episode begins with her great-grandmother. In 1947, a British news video claimed that India would wake up to light and freedom and that Pakistan would become the home for Muslims. We know about the riots and outbreak immediately. Partition-era India was created by nearly a century of British Imperialism, persecution of Muslims, and political incompetence, resulting in mass death, displacement, and family separation. Across South Asia, the effects of that trauma are still being felt today. Several South Asian colleagues and friends have told me that everyone has a Partition story that affects their families.
There is a scene in 1942 where a British soldier chases and kills a female assassin. Before the British come to break up the crowd, Hasan gives a rousing speech to his community. As Hasan offers a place to stay for the night, we see the beginning of their relationship. These scenes are intimate and lovely. As she tells Hasan her name, she says "she who lives."
We were able to see that Aisha is pregnant with Hasan's child. As Hasan looks at them, we see Aisha singing to a baby. When Hasan listens to the British radio propaganda, he calls out its hypocrisy. They were offered milk and vegetables by Rohan. Hasan refused to accept the charity, prompting their neighbor to say he was playing into the hands of the British. Hasan points out that no one is willing to buy flowers from him, no one will sell milk to his wife, and he has been pushed out of his home. Because they are Muslims. This is where we can see the realities of the British's exploitation of the community.
A person is out in the field. She is going to meet her. As she embraces her presumed friend, she mentions wanting to put their plan into action. The bangle will be used to open the door to the noor dimensions. Will she comply with the deadline?
As the riots spread, the family decided to go to Pakistan. While Hasan is unsure about leaving his home, he is reminded that he was the one who taught her "What you seek is seeking you." The same phrase by a famous Persian poet can be found on a bangle by another person. She gave the bangle to the person who needed it the most. We cut to Hasan in the crowd going towards the train, but he called her out for wanting to run away. The bangle's "magic" is finally revealed by her. He told her that he didn't care because she chose them. Hasan promised that he would get Sana on the last train.
When we got to the train station, we saw that Najma was going after them, so we left Hasan and a crying Sana to board the train. After accusing Aisha of turning their back on them, she stabbed her in the stomach as she yelled that it wouldn't work. In the midst of the mass migration, it all happens so fast. In a sad scene, we see a woman jump off a train as she cries for her dog. Her daughter looks at their photo and she calls out what she wants. We cut back to where we left her at the end of the last episode because her eyes glowed purple, the bangle fell to the floor, and she had a purple eye.
The woman is lying down in a cart. She wants to protect that bangle by getting her on the train with her friend. It looks like she tried to save herself by using the bangle, but she ended up saving herself by getting Kamala. She is here and she will achieve it. There is a person who finds and carries someone to safety. She sees the trail of stars as a result of using the bangle to give the crowd hard light platforms. Hasan finds his daughter as he searches for her. She realized that she saved her family as she watched Hasan and Sana travel on the last train.
There are a lot of changes to the comic book. During the Civil War II arcs, we got a few scenes of Kamala's family, including her great-grandparents, who are pregnant with her grandmother. The bangle is important to the couple as it is her wedding bangle that she hid the money she got from selling her jewelry in order to start a new life in Pakistan. The show decided to make more out of the storyline and have it be part of the beginnings of Kamala's heroism because they wanted to tie her powers more closely to her family.
This approach has worked best here. There was no discussion of "Djinn", only a family working their way to survive, and being there for one another. The family has always been like that. If we get a season two after next week's season one finale on Disney+, hopefully the show will keep focusing on that.
Fatimah Asghar, the writer of the episode, brought a lot to the table. She and the writing team kept this Partition story grounded and focused on family, community, and poignant struggles and love while dealing with supernatural elements. When it is a show about family and their love for each other, and with the involvement of their descendant, the show is at its best.
The apparent purpose was fulfilled when we cut back to her in the present day. All the Clandestine and Kareem woke up with her, and we saw a door. As Najma says, "the veil." We went to the house where Muneeba (Zenobia Shroff), Sana (Samina Ahmad), and the cousins were all shown worrying about where Kamala was. Muneeba learns about the feature on their account. Muneeba says that spyware is for parents.
The Clandestine attempt to go home, but when one of them tries to get through, the dark crystals will destroy her body and she will die. It was really bad. It seems that this puts the nail in the coffin about any of these people beingjinn, as a being like that should be able to pass through.
The Veil emits waves that cause Kamala to get out people. As she tries to walk through despite what she sees, she is begged not to. She claims that she can make it. Kamran's name is invoked by Kamala to encourage her to stay for her son.
She walks to the veil, andKamran says that she will fall away as well. I guess bye Najma. Even though she gave her best in the role, she was still a weak villain along with the rest of the Clandestine. Kamran received a wave of the veil's energy as he made a crystal fist. Again, that's right. Muneeba and her mother realized the truth when they arrived. A picture of her family was given to her by her former husband. She bids farewell and thanks him for letting her know that he is available in case she ever needs him.
The necklace that spells her name in Arabic on the ground was found by Muneeba while she was doing this. We went back to the house where Muneeba told her about her and her father's "past adventures" and how she was "thrilled" as they reminisced over family photos. Muneeba is reassured by her daughter that she didn't see what she needed to, and that she's sorry. Maybe this was the journey I was supposed to take, one that would bring me back to you. They hugged each other as they left the Karachi journey on a nice note.
Kamran asked Bruno for help as he hid from Damage Control, but he was followed by a Stark drone. The building with Bruno and Kamran inside was destroyed by a crystal blast and an explosion from the drones. Kamran is going to protect them in time for the finale. The Department of Damage Control seems to be the final villain.
The best episode to date is "Time and Again" It takes viewers on a poignant journey to appreciate caring family and what they sacrifice for us in keeping with the emotional journey of the film. The show does a good job of showing how it is universal and taking the specific experience of the family from Pakistan. With a more nuanced display of the supernatural elements (which, judging by this episode's clues, may in fact be more tied to the Inhumans of which Kamala truly is), and tighter focus on family, I'm more excited for the finale.
Ms.Marvel is on Disney+.
