Ms. Marvel continues with “Crushed” where she encounters new boy, Kamran, and learns about the bangle connected to her powers! Re:run last episode - Kamala’s family stand above her, surrounding her, trying to check on Kamala. Later, she is in her room calling nani, Sana Ali (Samina Ahmad) on her cell phone, Kamala asks about the bangle. Nani says it came from her mother, Aisha, who disappeared in the Partition. We had Muneeba upset about the talk of the Partition, but the key to it all is Aisha! Yusuf walks up the stairs and overhears the conversation. He asks for Kamala, but she is undercover trying to ask about Aisha. Yusuf tries to enter the door, but Kamala slams it just with her powers! This has to be the best use of a superpower!
He finally enters, but Kamala pretends to just have wakened. The next morning, Yusuf tries to convince his son to have Bon Jovi cover band, Muneeba says Slippery When Wet is how they met! Very funny! Of course, Bon Jovi is a New Jersey band, makes sense. She is applying eyeliner to Kamala who shrugs at the mention. Aamir has to walk away. Kinda funny! Kamala brings up Aisha, but this makes her mother suddenly serious, saying she moved to America to get away from the shame Aisha brought to the family. Tyesha enters and she is familiar with Bon Jovi. At the Eid Mubarak celebration, Aamir and Tyesha are there, and Bruno has his outfit which he thinks is too bright. Muneeba is happy. Last episode, we had Kamala convincing Nakia to run for the Mosque Board and represent women. The Gyro King will vote for Nakia if he is an exclusive vendor for events. He is popular so I think of this as a plus.
She agrees if Nasaj puts up her flyer. This is important for Nakia’s campaign, she has Bruno pass out flyers and goes with Kamala to convince The Mosque Bros, other groups, and most important, the IlluminAunties! I like Nakia’s strategy with the logos for all of the groups. She goes to talk to her uncle, Yusuf, but he wants to vote for his best friend, Rasheed. Nakia mentions that Kamala is on her campaign, his daughter and his “other daughter.” Zoe is bored waiting for Agent Cleary is fan of her Tik Tok videos and then hints that she was attacked by the “enhanced individual.” Zoe says she saved her life and then brings up that she had seen the mystery girl. This gets the interest of Agent Deever then questions her about the girl, even bringing up the Latinx term. Creepy scene. Zoe stops talking. They are going to search every area (except high schools?) while the FBI is also on the case.
Agent Cleary warns her to be respectful. Night, Kamala is sitting with the IlluminAunties and asks about Aisha, the aunties bring up she had affairs and killed a man during Partition. Idle gossip. A boy, Hameed (Ishan Gandhi), is hanging on the top of a mosque tower taking selfies. Then, he falls and is just able to hold onto a curtain! The rest of the celebration hear his screams. It’s Ms. Marvel time! Kamala changes into her costume, Bruno covers for her saying she went home, and the crowd points out Night Light! I guess Damage Control will know where to search. Kamala tries to encourage the boy as she climbs around the dome. He says he likes ice cream pizza that gets Nasaj’s interest! Kamala starts walking on the crystal discs. Hameed starts to fall and Kamala tries to catch him. She generates a large disc that they both land on. Kamala leaps off the disc to do a superhero pose. This blows up on social media.
“With great powers”, Kamala, remember the saying. She reaches out for the boy, her bangle glows, and she sees a strange woman reaching out! Hameed starts to fall, Kamala forms discs to slow his descent, but crashes into a car roof. Sheikh Abdullah checks on him. Kamala runs away at her feat that injured Hameed. She reaches an alley, but is discovered by drones, and Damage Control with Agent Deever. Shooting at a super powered suspect is not good. Kamala disc runs over their head, the disc is blasted, and Kamala ends up injured on the street. This is when Kamran drives up and speeds her away. In the back is Kamran’s mother, Najma (Nimra Bucha)! The involvement of Damage Control, interest in this superpowered girl, doesn’t this get the attention of The Avengers like Hawkeye or S.W.O.R.D.? Ms. Marvel deals with an imperfect superhero who is still discovering her powers, caught between her interest in the new boy, and helping out her friend!
Four Bangles out of Five!
