Ms Marvel Episode 5 Recap: Partition History And Time Travel Confusion

When episode five started, it seemed possible that the entire episode would focus solely on Kamala’s early 1940s ancestors in British-ruled India.

The opening moments of the episode included a segment on the partition, before moving on to the show – following in the footsteps of Kamala’s great-grandmother, Aisha (Mehwish Hayat).

In episode three, Kamala learned that Aisha was part of a group called Clandestines, or Djinn, who had been banned from the Noor dimension.

In episode five, Aisha is sleeping alone on the floor when she is discovered by a man named Hasan (Fawad Khan).

If they go back to the past, it’s not that if they change something, their present will change.

If something has changed in the past, it is more likely to create a new timeline that branches from the original timeline because there are many parallel timelines taking place at the same time.

However, this rule seems to have been ignored in the latest episode of Ms. Marvel, as several fans pointed out.

After Najma pierces Kamala’s bracelet, the teenage superhero is transported to the time of separation in 1940s British-ruled India, when countless people try to board the last train to Karachi, Pakistan.

Kamala’s great-grandmother, Aisha, is stabbed by Najma, while her daughter Sana – Kamala’s grandmother who is only a little girl at the time – is separated from her father, Hasan, Kamala’s great-grandfather.

The story in Kamala’s family has it that Sana followed a ‘trail of stars’ to be reunited with her father, sparking speculation that Aisha helped reunite her daughter and husband before disappearing herself.

However, it turns out that the trail of stars was actually created by Kamala when she was transported to that moment and helped Sana after finding the lost little girl.
