With this episode, I continue to be in love with this show and wish I had watched it when it was new.
In this episode, Kamala's bangle revels many secrets about her family legacy.
This episode could have easily been nothing but pure exposition. Yet instead it is a very entertaining and heartfelt episode. Rather than simply focusing on Kamala, the start of the episode shifts much of the focus onto her great grandmother. We have heard so much about her and know how important she is to Kamala becoming a superhero. It is so wonderful to see her actual story and that story doesn't disappoint. It is truly heartfelt and moving and Mehwish Hayat's performance is truly moving. This portion of the episode also takes a very respectful and emotional look at a very tragic part of Indian history. It never simply uses this historical moment as a backdrop for a superhero story, but instead treats it with the respect and seriousness that it should be. When the story shifts to Kamala, we truly see what a wonderful young actress Iman Vellani truly is. While she does have some scenes where she can show her quirky loveable charm, this episode features some truly heartfelt scenes. These scenes give the young actress to really show her range and she plays each of these emotional scenes perfectly. Though there are less superhero action scenes here, the action scenes are a lot of fun (despite some weak special effects).
Another great episode
