Three episodes in and Marvel finally lets us in on just what is going on with Kamala and her bangle – but not without also giving us another wholly delightful, well-written, and smartly acted episode of television around that particular piece of exposition.

What a fitting end to a disappointing series. In fact, it was such a disappointing ending that I genuinely didn’t realize it was the end of the episode until the credits began rolling – that’s how anticlimactic and messy the episode was.
