It follows Kamala Khan as she works together with her friends Bruno Carrelli and Nakia Bahadir to help Kamran escape from the Department of Damage Control and become the superhero "Ms. Marvel".

Iman Vellani stars as Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel, alongside Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Laurel Marsden, Arian Moayed, Alysia Reiner, Laith Nakli, Azhar Usman, Travina Springer, and Aramis Knight.

Although fellow DODC agent P. Cleary tells them to retreat, Deever ignores the order and has the high school stormed, where Khan and her friends are hiding.

Zoe posts a video on social media in which she begs for help, prompting the entire community to gather at the school and demand that DODC leave the teens alone.

A week later, while preparing to leave for Caltech, Bruno explains to Khan that he examined the family DNA to see if Aamir may also have powers.

[9] Executive producers include Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Brad Winderbaum, in addition to Kamala Khan co-creator Sana Amanat, El Arbi, Fallah, and head writer Bisha K.

[11] Fallah explained at this point in the episode, Khan is at the end of her energy, and then seeing her family, which he said was "where she gets her power", says "embiggen", becoming Ms. Marvel and the "full version of herself" in that moment.

[3][4] The episode also reveals that Kamala Khan has a genetic "mutation", which implied she was a mutant through the use of a musical excerpt of the X-Men: The Animated Series theme.

[14][13] Ali said giving Khan this backstory, which helped explain how the other members of her family would not have powers if they used the bangle and made her special, "fit into the logic of the wider MCU".

Vellani "freaked out" at the reveal, calling it "the biggest deal in the world", which made it difficult to capture the line during filming, because she and Lintz kept laughing.

[4] Also appearing are Jordan Firstman as Gabe Wilson, Anjali Bhimani as auntie Ruby, Sophia Mahmud as auntie Zara, Nic Starr as Mr. Hillman, Tonia Jackson as Mrs. Hillman, Matthew J. Vasquez as Miguel, Iyad Hajjaj as Uncle Rasheed, Ishan Gandhi as Hameed, Paul Kim as Paul, Jesse James Locorriere as Richardson, Ethan McDowell as Agent Barrie,[17]: 45:02  and Kamala Khan co-creator G. Willow Wilson as herself.

[31][32] The episode was digitally altered by January 2023 to update the design of the Statue of Liberty to match its deoxidized appearance following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).

[38] Whip Media, which tracks viewership data for the more than 21 million worldwide users of its TV Time app, announced that Ms. Marvel was the second most-streamed original series in the U.S. for the week ending July 17, 2022.

[40] Swara Salih at Gizmodo said, "while a decent finale for a good series, the episode encapsulates the issues of the show overall", wishing it highlighted more of Khan's self-discovery and acceptance as in the comics.

He also thought it was "ironic" that implying Khan was a mutant instead of Inhuman or Kree "may have distanced her background even more" from Captain Marvel and Monica Rambeau's.
