Ok, let me start off by saying I think Manifest is a great show, but this season has started to give me “Lost” vibes. By that, I mean I’m not sure if they know where they are going. I believe they had to start. The plane goes missing and returns years later, and they have an endpoint, but the bit in-between is being made up as to go. It would not surplice me if they all died on the plain, and only now is it being recovered was parts of the crashed plane is being found around the world. This would explain how a piece was found by a fishing boat near Cuba.
In this weeks episode, Angelina and Grace work to help one of the newly returned “Meth Heads.” Who is starting to get callings but is stuck in jail so is unable to follow them. Michaela & Zeke but follow Pete’s callings to help him defeat his “Death Date.” This leads them to his old football coach from high school, who had to drop him from the team after he was found selling drugs to the other players. When Michaela and Zeke confronted Pete as to why he didn’t tell them about the drug selling, he confest that he was being forced to sell them by the coach. This information leads to the arrest of the coach after drugs were found in his house.
In the other storyline for this episode, Ben and Saanvi met up with NSA Director Vance, who had returned from Cuba and been tasked with running the investigation into flight 828. During his time inside the warehouse, Ben discovered just who much information they had uncovered. With Ben’s recent activity after touching the tail fin and his hand starting to glow brightly, he thought it best not to tell Vance as he would end up a science experiment. But when he touched the tail fin again and nothing happened, he knows something else was going on that they were not telling him. So after following a calling, he found a passenger believed to have been shot suspended in a liquid.
With every new revelation that keeps coming from each episode, I always look forward to another episode. Still, I just hope they have a plan and are not just shouting out crazy ideas, thinking that if they can make a plane disappear and then reappear years later, they can do just about anything because it won’t take long for the ratings to drop.
