In 1942 India, a woman, Aisha, runs through a field with soldiers pursuing her. She throws a knife and kills one soldier,
Later in a village, a man, Hasan, is giving a speech to the villagers about how the residents of India must drive the British out. British soldiers arrive and disperse the crowd, and order Hasan away. A woman, Najma, follows Hasan as he walks away. He goes home and finds Aisha sleeping in his roses, and wakes her up and asks if he can help her. Aisha snaps at him that he can't, and then repeats her refusal more politely. Hasan offers her food and a place to rest in his nearby cottage. She finally goes in to get some food, but remains silent when Hasan asks for her name. Hasan asks her what brings her to the village, and Aisha tells him that she likes his roses. He talks about flowers and poems, and Aisha smiles and then says that tells Hasan her name. Hasan introduces himself in response.
Months later, Aisha approaches Hasan as he picks roses and offers him a cane to replace he used to hold up his broken leg. She thanks him for making a home for her there, Hasan strokes Aisha's pregnant belly when she thanks him for making a home for her there, and they join hands and go inside together.
Later, Aisha gives birth and sings a lullaby to her baby daughter, as Hasan looks on. The daughter, Sana, grows up and looks at her mother's bangle. Hasan listens to the radio about the internal strife tearing apart India, and Aisha tells her husband that they'll get through it. There's a knock at the door, and a neighbor, Rohan, brings them food. Hasan refuses to accept the "charity", and Rohan reminds Hasan that he said they're all one. Rohan snaps at Rohan, saying no one else will give them supplies or buy from them because they're Muslims. Aisha apologizes for her husband, and Rohan says that the time of strife will pass and leaves.
Aisha sees Najma in the rose field, and goes outside to greet her. Najma accuses Aisha of hiding, hugs the younger woman, and says that she's spent years looking for her and thought Aisha was dead. She says that now that she's found Aisha, they can put their plan into action. Aisha hesitates then says that of course she wants to go home, but hid the bangle for safekeeping and recovering it will take some time. Najma gives Aisha until sundown the next day and then they will all go home, and then walks off.
Going home, Aisha packs the family's things, and then tells her husband and daughter that the riots are spreading and everyone is leaving while they can. Hasan laments abandoning their hoe and leaving nothing for his daughter, but Aisha says that it's too risky and as long as they're together, they can build a home anywhere. She comforts Sana and tells her to hold onto the bangle for her, saying it will keep her safe wherever she goes.
The Muslims head to the train station in Karachi, and Hasan asks Aisha who Najma is, having seen Aisha talking to her the previous night. Aisha activates the bangle briefly, and then tells Hasan to make sure Sana gets on the train no matter what happens to her, and he says that nothing will happen to her
At the station, Aisha tells Hasan to take Sana with him and then goes off into the crowd. Aisha goes back and confronts Najma, who accuses Aisha of turning her back on her family. She stabs Aisha with dagger, saying she'll find the bangle if it's the last thing she does, then walks off.
Hasan loses Sana in the confusion. He looks for his daughter, while the dying Aisha activates the bangle and brings Kamala from 2022. Kamala, wearing the bangle, finds Aisha and explains that she's not Sana even though she has the bangle. Aisha figures Sana makes it out because Kamala is there, and says that Kamala has everything that she needs, and then dies. Kamala finds Sana in the crowd and creates energy crystals so Sana can jump across them to Hasan. Someone bumps into Kamal, disrupting her concentration so that the crystals turn into a "trail of stars", and Hasan sees them as well as he finds his daughter. Kamala sees Hasan and Sana reunited, and Kamal realizes that it was she who saved her grandmother in 1947.
The bangle glows and returns Kamala to the chamber in 2022. Najma and the other Djinn recover from the blast, and the Veil opens.
At Sana' home, Muneeba tries to call Kamala but Kamal doesn't pick up. Owait suggests to Muneeba that she use the Find My Phone feature to find Kamala, and Muneeba does so.
At the chamber, one of the Djinn touches the Veil and is killed. Energy shoots out from the portal and Kamala tries to close it using the bangle. Kareem gets the bystanders out while Kamal creates an energy shield, and Kamala asks Najma to help her close the portal before the energies destroy everything. Najma admits that she left Kamran behind and can't get him back. She sacrifices herself to close the portal, and Kamala shields herself and Kamreen. The energy from Najima flows across the globe and into Kamran, causing him to glow with Veil energy.
Muneeba and Sana enter the chamber as the portal close, and Muneeba asks Kamala what she's doing. Samreen introduces himself, and Muneeba realizes that Kamala is "Nightlight". Sana says that their family is magical, and Kamala gives Sana Aisha's photograph of her family. Muneeba wonders how it all happened, and Sana says that two people fell in love and created something much bigger than them.
Kamala goes to Kamreen and asks if he'll be okay, and he says that he will. She thanks Kamreen for everything, and he says that she should call him if she needs anything. Kamreen gives Kamala his scarf and walks away, Meanwhile, Muneeba finds Kamala's broken bracelet.
Back at Sana's home, Sana shows Kamal and Muneeba photographs of a teenage Muneeba, and Muneeba tells Kamala that she and her husband have had a lot of adventures, but none were as thrilling as being Kamala's mother. She admits that she's not ready to let Kamala go, and she apologizes to Sana for not seeing what her mother needed to see.
Back in Jersey, Bruno is taking out garbage from his family's bodega. Kamran approaches Bruno and says that he didn't know where else to go. Bruno takes Kamran to his room, and Kamran says that he needs to stay there so Najma knows where to find him. He doesn't figure that Najma would leave him behind, but Bruno isn't so sure. A drone flies by the window and Kamran sees it, and instinctively blasts it with his new powers. It goes out of control and crashes into the bodega, blowing it up.
