Manifest: Final Boarding

Olive: “Dad. I don't know how to reach you right now, but I think I just figured this out. The picture of you carrying me through the fire, it wasn't me. It was Angelina. ... Dad, the only way for you to survive your Death Date is to forgive Angelina. And I don't know – I don't know if you can do that.”

All the remaining passengers board the resuscitated plane to await judgment in a finale that is emotionally, if not always intellectually, satisfying.

Manifest: Formation

Angelina: “So, why are you here?”
Adrian: “I'm here to make amends. I spent months tracking down everyone I can to apologize for the harm I caused. Families of victims from the nightclub fire, people from the compounds. [...] I told you to find your angel. You misunderstood my words.”
Angelina: “I don't need your apology. I'm an archangel sent by God.”

Cal needs to join with another sapphire to complete an important Calling, and finds it in an unlikely place. Eagan proves not to be husband material.

Manifest: Lift/Drag

Poster: Every Life is Worth Living.

Another month has passed and now we’re two days before the Death Date. Which makes it May 31, 2024, if you’re counting. As I am.

Manifest: Threshold

Ben: “Don't shoot! Please, we need help! People are dying here!”
Of course, they shoot.

Eight months have passed; it’s now May 2, 2024. Only one month remains until the Death Date.

Manifest: Furball

Vance: “All right, we're twenty minutes out. Let's hit the road. Don't get mud on my seats.”
Cal: “I used to find you kind of scary, but you're really just a dad.”
Vance: “Dads can be scary.”

Ben is joined by his daughters while Cal goes to live with Mick and Jared. Eagan and Angelina reach a truce.

Manifest: Throttle

Angelina: “Stop, Ben, please. The Callings, my powers, they're all I have left. You can't take them from me.”
Ben: “You took my wife from me and my daughter. I want you to know what that's like, to experience what I felt. The pain, Angelina. The pain.”

Angelina’s in the detention center, and that’s making many people, especially those who know her, nervous. Also, Steve collapses and Ben picks up a needle.

Manifest: Fata Morgana

Michaela: “Oh my God! Is this Angelina?”
Jared: “Mm-hmm.”
Michaela: “I don't understand. Ben thought he saw her die in the church fire. She's like a cockroach.”

A gory episode.

Manifest: Ghost Plane

Nina: “I came to say goodbye. I hope you see your daughter soon.”
Angelina: “I already have. And you were right. I know what I have to do now.”

That’s more like it! This episode features two familiar bad guys, and that always juices up an episode.

Manifest: Bug Out

Saanvi: We're not waiting for Callings Unit to handle this, are we?
Ben: No, we are not. As my kids like to say, we're going on a treasure hunt.

Episode description: “Michaela finds a welcome distraction in helping Jared with an investigation. Cal tests a new ability. Ben and Saanvi try to decode a mysterious message.”

Manifest: Final Descent

Ben: “That's incredibly generous of you. Thank you.”
Priscilla: “Zeke and Chloe read together a lot, and I kept all their old books. I suppose that seems silly.”
Michaela: “I found this inside.”

Eight months have passed since the end of the last episode. Ben and Michaela (and most of the other passengers) are in a detention center for passengers, while Olive, Cal and Eden do their best to survive on the outside.

Manifest: Inversion Illusion

Eden: “I wanna be with my daddy.”

The omega sapphire has been stolen from the thief who stole it. Also, the world’s smallest sociopath has learned to generate Callings while Zeke faces a terrible decision.

Manifest: Rendezvous

Eagan: “Now, I get messages from, um, what you might call God. And she's been guiding me, crankily at times, telling me I have to go through this door. You could call the cops. Or – see what's on the other side.”

Cal and Ben receive bad news; several passengers share alarming Callings; and Jared and Zeke work together to borrow someone from a nursing home.

Manifest: Full Upright and Locked Position

Eagan: “Adrian's super dead by now. The passenger I'm trying to save is me.”

Cal Gabriel has been taken to the Registry on suspicion of murder. Jared and Michaela are trying to find the real murderer, while Ben starts hearing music again.

Manifest: Romeo

Zeke: “Where you going? Why is your shirt ironed?”
Cal: “Well, 'cause I'm following doctor's orders. I was told to do anything other than wait for bad news, so I'm going out.”
Zeke: “Look, I feel for you, sometimes literally, but your dad was pretty explicit.”
Cal: “Zeke, for once in my extremely shortened life, I'm gonna live.”

Ben bonds with Eden as he returns to following Callings, while Cal has a date.

Manifest: Relative Bearing

Olive: “You okay, Dad?”
Ben: “Eden's home. As far as she knows, she's a hostage. I hate that I scare her. If this is what she thinks a bad man looks like, it's time to lose the beard. What? You think I should keep the mountain man look?”
Olive: “No. No. Definitely not.”
Ben sighs.
Olive: “What's wrong?”
Ben: “It's just... all the times I've had a beard, your mom's always helped.”

After last episode with the explosion, Zeke’s killing of Erika, the survival of Angelina, the return of Eden to the Stones, and the release of Eagan, many of the passengers – and the people around them – have to find their bearings.

Manifest: Squawk

Cal: “What's going on?”
Olive: “Dad knows where Eden is?”
Vance: “He didn't tell you. Ben is gonna get himself killed going wherever he went alone.”

One character finally comes home while another character’s house gets blown up.

Manifest: Go-Around

Olive: “Hey, look at me. The answer is gonna come. But it won't if you're all worked up. Now repeat after me. We are going to figure this out.”
Cal: “We're going to figure this out.”
Olive: “I have the best sister in the entire world.”
Cal: “I have the best sister in the whole entire world.”
Olive: “You know, sometimes it's hard to see things for what they are. Maybe we should change perspective.”
They stand on chairs; Zeke and Michaela enter.
Zeke: “Somebody see a mouse?”

Some good bits, and Zeke is the superhero of supportiveness. Alas, the episode has major plot flaws. Sigh.

Manifest: High Flight

Jared: “NYPD. Your phone was stolen, ma'am?”
Librarian: “I thought it would be days before I heard back, if ever.”
Drea: “Do these folks look familiar to you?”
Librarian: “Well, that's the woman I saw. And this looks like the little girl. Missing for two years? But her mother–”
Ben: “That's not her mother!”

Michaela keeps piloting the Lifeboat while Ben is drawing on his attic ceiling and Saanvi hears voices. Also, poetry!

Manifest: All-Call

Jared: “You know, your M's held up better than my J.”
Michaela: “Well, you have terrible handwriting, so...”
Jared: “Remember how I used to have to read you the cards I'd sent you out loud? You couldn't make out my writing.”
Michaela: “I could read it.”

Ben does a podcast in order to look for Eden, while the authorities figure out that Henry Kim is in New York.

Manifest: Touch-and-Go

Jared: “Hey. You need to take a break, man.”
Ben: “I'm never gonna take a break. Does nobody get that? Not until I find her.”
Jared: “Ben, there's a reason the detectives aren't calling you back. The state legally declared Eden deceased. NYPD closed the missing persons file. I wanted you to hear it from a friend, not just some random suit.”
Ben: “No.”

In the two years that have passed since the last episode, things have changed for the passengers, and not for the better. They must report regularly to a registry. Eureka is shut down. And the biggest changes are in the Stone household.
