Relative Bearing
Episode 6 of Manifest Season 4 starts with police investigating the crime scene at the factory. Ben speaks to the press about Eden, while the police are clearly suspicious over the fact that compound explosion and Ben finding his daughter both occurred at the same time. ..
As for Angelina, she shows up at her mother’s place and hides out. That’s probably just as well, given the heat that’s surrounding them both right now.
Cal and Olive speak with each other about their Callings and the lack of success they’re having in preventing what’s coming. They also admit that they’re both coughing and hiding something big. For now, they’re both keeping secrets from each other.
Michaela’s Calling leads her straight to Sam, a guy who owns an aquarium. When she shows up at his place, she finds him dead in his apartment. Michaela hurriedly calls Jared about it, who recognizes him as someone he tried to protect from another police officer several years ago.
At a rally, Jared stopped another officer from hurting Sam, looking at him in disdain because he was one of the 828 passengers. Sam was also taking money out of his account to help others, and he lost his marriage as a result of his selflessness. His ex-wife doesn’t seem like a culprit in all this though, given how she talks about him. ..
Jared’s partner ratting him out for getting involved in the fertilizer and compound gig has stopped him at the Registry. Jared is discouraged, but his partner reassures him that there’s no mole on the inside. Jared hands over his gun and badge to his partner, who tells him he’s safe now.
Meanwhile, Ben decides to shave his beard completely, off the back of Eden scribbling down his picture and calling him a bad man. While this is going on, Eagan is released from prison and immediately jumped by Adrian in a public bathroom. Adrian knows all about him opening up to the police. ..
Eagan shows up at Angelina’s place and decides to squeeze her mum into giving him money, intending to extort her for everything he can in exchange for keeping Angelina’s location a secret. He tells her that if she doesn’t give him the money, he’ll tell the FBI and they’ll take Angelina away. The police should have checked Eagan’s background before giving him the money.
After shaving, Ben invites Anna round, using her as a way of bridging the gap with Eden and giving her something familiar to cling to. While he waits in the hallway, Angelina calls to confirm she’s still alive and gives him advice about how to handle Eden, including when to put her down for a nap. ..
Ben is rattled and demands she not phone again. Well, Cal breaks that almost immediately and lets Angelina speak to Eden on the phone. Ben deduces that this is the only way Eden will accept Ben as a good guy, but when the latter finds out, he’s absolutely enraged. He sits down with Cal and reminds him he doesn’t want Angelina anywhere near the house. He also deduces that Cal is inexplicably connected to Angelina somehow, and he’s just been trying to protect his child. “I’m your child too dad,” Cal says, hurt. Eventually he decides to leave, writing a note and slipping out the door. ..
Jared and Michaela continue to search for clues surrounding Sam’s extortion and finally stumble upon it, thanks to a familiar ring. It turns out the police captain is the crook here, and he chases Drea up to the roof where a scuffle ensues when he’s outed for his perceived part to play in Sam’s death.

Jared and Michaela scramble up to the roof, managing to miraculously avoid being stopped by cops, as the police captain immediately admits to being a dirty cop. With the captain arrested, despite a tasty offer for Jared to forget everything and get back on the payroll again, Vance catches up with Jared downstairs and confirms that he’s altered the ballistic report. Jared will get his job back regardless, hoorah!
Olive believes that sapphire is linked to the prophets of the past and believes they could actually use this for unlimited Callings. Eden has a Calling upstairs with that familiar volcano again, while Zeke stumbles home after getting drunk, deciding to try and bury his emotions in booze. He slips over Cal outside though, who’s passed out on the lawn.
Jared speaks to his father about the murder and expresses his concerns that the police captain may not be responsible. He doesn’t think that the captain is the only one who could have committed the crime, so who else could it be? ..
