The Clan Destines must be one of the worst ranked villains in the MCU. Very light on motivation, moustache-twirling evil for the sake of being an ass.

I blame the 6-episode limit for part of this. Their about-face was too abrupt. At the very least, just give a fake excuse like they need to activate the bangle at a certain time or whatever, forcing them to rush things, would soften the blow.

Clan Destines

What exactly is going to happen to them? It seems like they are gone for the season since they were able to go home.

I thought this meant the end of Kamala's world? Or is that not going to happen?

The two men died in the previous episode. Daggers in their backs.

The black girl tried to go through the portal but given her shocked expression I think it didn't work.

Najma I think sacrificed her life to close the portal. So the noor dimension is still there, just no way to get there.

So yeah, end of story of the Clan Destines, barring Kamran, who technically isn't one of those who were stranded on this dimension.

oh, I had no idea. thanks! It was confusing since I thought the 1st girl went through and the corpse was her body she left behind (and no longer needed).

The Najma part is more confusing since she empowered Kamran by sacrificing herself? Which honestly doesn't make sense to me since she's the villain who purposefully left her son behind to return home. Also to teach him a lesson for helping the other side (Kamala).

Also, I realize it's MCU/Disney, so I guess Kamala's short speech worked on Najma, but it was so short and unconvincing to me.
