What happened in episode 4 of Ms. Marvel that will affect the series going forward? Find out with these huge moments.
Episode 4 is always crucial in Marvel Studios shows on Disney Plus. During Moon Knight, Marc Spector and Steven Grant met each other in person. At the end of episode 4 of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, John Walker killed someone on live TV. WandaVison’s fourth episode showed Wanda starting to lose control of her emotions. Ms. Marvel continued the trend of episode 4 importance.
Here are the moments that made “Seeing Red” crucial to the series.
5. Of course you’re a Djinn
Kamala Khan finally gets a chance to speak to her grandmother in person. One of the first things she asks is why she sent her the bangel. Kamala then starts to ask what she is. Her grandmother casually interrupts and says, “A Djinn? Of course.”
Kamala did not know how to react to how indifferent the response was. Nevertheless, it was funny and great. It showed that it really didn’t matter what their DNA said they were. A message more people should learn. It also leads to the story about the last time Kamala’s grandmother used the bangle and how it saved her life.
4. Ms. Marvel vs Red Dagger
Kamala is looking for answers to the vision she and her grandmother saw. Before she can get any answers, she’s confronted by the Red Dagger – whose real name is Kareem. The two do what all superheroes do when they meet: They fight each other and then eventually come to an understanding.
Kareem knew Kamala was a Noor, but was unaware that she wasn’t one of the Clandestine. The two left the train station and went to the Red Dagger’s base. This is where viewers find out that Red Dagger isn’t just him but it’s also more than a group of vigilantes. It’s an honorable title of people who protect the world from the Noor.
3. Clandestines and the Veil
Kareem brings Kamala to his base of operations. This is where he introduces her to Waleed – someone who explains the Noor’s plain of existence. It’s not another reality. It’s one of the realms on top of their own that can’t be seen. The Clandestine want to use the bangle to bring their world onto this one – something that would destroy this entire plane of existence everyone but the Noor live on.
Finally understanding what the Clandestine’s plan would accomplish makes the stakes higher. Now the viewers know why keeping the bracelet away from them is important. They must know what would happen and not care. As long as they can go home, they’re happy.
Don’t be surprised if What If…? season 2 does an episode about the Clandestine getting the bracelet.
2. The Clandestine leave Kamran
Back in America, the Clandestine are being held captive by the Department of Damage Control. As they’re being taken somewhere within their facility, Kamran manages to take out one of the D.O.D.C. guards. The rest of the Clandestine follow his lead and they escape, but not before Kamran takes a hit from a D.O.D.C. gun and gets knocked out.
Before they leave, Najma tells one of her own to leave Kamran. While he did help them escape, Kamran protected Kamala from them. Najma said he’s made his decision. All this should do is prove to Kamran that he made the right decision by helping Ms. Marvel. They abandoned him while Kamala would never leave him on his own.
1. Ms. Marvel transported
Kamala, Kareem, and Waleed are attacked by the Clandestine (who somehow made it across the country quickly). After a chase scene, Waleed is killed by Najma after saving Kamala from one of the Clandestine. While Kareem and Kamala are fighting, Najma attempts to stab Kamala, but her strike is blocked by Kamala’s bracelet. That causes Kamala to be transported away.
She ends up in the past when Kamala’s grandmother last used her powers. Now fans have to wonder if Kamala is actually in the past herself or if she’s actually her grandmother re-enacting what happened in the past.
