In episode 6 of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, titled "This Just Can't Be Right", the story continues to follow the magical girls of Mitakihara City as they battle against witches and struggle with the consequences of their wishes.
Madoka is feeling uneasy about being a magical girl after witnessing the death of Mami in the previous episode. She confides in Sayaka, who tries to comfort her by saying that they have the power to make a difference in the world. However, Madoka can't shake the feeling of dread and decides to confide in Homura as well.
Meanwhile, Homura continues to withhold information from the other magical girls and is shown using her time manipulation powers to prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl. She is also shown battling against a witch alone, raising questions about her true motives.
As the episode progresses, the magical girls are called on to defeat a powerful witch that has been causing disruptions in the city.

The girls are able to defeat the witch and save the woman, showing the positive impact their actions can have.
However, the aftermath of the battle reveals the toll that being a magical girl takes on their physical and mental well-being. Sayaka, in particular, is struggling with the realization that her wish to heal a friend's hand has come with a heavy price.

The episode ends on a dark note as Homura warns Madoka that becoming a magical girl will only lead to despair and that she should not make a contract with Kyubey. This ominous warning raises more questions about Homura's true intentions and the true nature of being a magical girl.
Overall, episode 6 of Puella Magi Madoka Magica delves deeper into the emotional and psychological complexities of being a magical girl. It also raises more questions about the true motives of the characters and the consequences of their actions.
