In India in 1942 Kamala Khan’s great grandmother Aisha is hiding from her ClanDestine companions. She catches the attention of Muslim activist Hasan. He is trying to rally Sihks, Muslims and Hindu to unite against the British. But to little effect. Partition is coming and Muslims are moving to the new state of Pakistan.

Hasan offers Aisha a place to stay and eat and the couple fall in love and have a baby, Kamala’s grandmother Sana. As India gets more unsafe, Aisha is confronted by her former companion Najma who has spent years searching for Aisha and wants her to finally come good on her promise and open a portal from this world back to their realm.

Aisha placates her saying she needs more time to retrieve the second Bangle. In the intervening twenty four hours she convinces Hasan to go with her and their daughter to the last trains out of India to Pakistan. But Najma tracks her there and, realising that Aisha no longer wants to leave the Earth realm, Najma stabs her and leaves her for dead.

With the original owner of the Bangle that enhances her powers now dead, Kamala steps in and completes their families ancient tale by guiding her grandmother back to her father with a burst of stars. With the circle complete Kamala returns to the present and must still face the remaining Clandestine.

A gateway to their realm has been opened by Kamala’s adventure. But it’s not what they expected and it kills one of the final Clandestine when she tries to pass through. With a word about familial responsibilities from Kamala, Najma is encouraged to sacrifice herself and closes the realm gate by sending its power into her disowned son Kamran as he has the power of the Noor as well. As Najma dies, Muneeba sees her daughter’s power and realises all of her mothers fantastical tales were true.

Back in New Jersey, Kamran is shocked to discover he has a similar command of his powers as Kamala. He seeks out the help of the only other person who knows Kamala’s secret, Brian…I mean Bruno. After an awkward start Bruno agrees to help him but they discover they are being watched as a Damage Control drone launches an explosive attack on Bruno’s home.
