Jared shows up at Michaela’s, conflicted over whether to take the Registry job or not. However, he realizes he’s interfered on their anniversary and decides to leave. Zeke though, allows him to stick around. Jared even gives a speech too, pointing out that the better man won.
As the attention turns back to Cal, all of them suddenly experience another Calling, jumping back to the airplane from before where they find themselves sitting, passed out in their seats. A passenger call light turned on, deducing someone who needs their help, while Saanvi points out that Thomas, one of the attendants at the back, is furiously tugging at the cargo hold.
While Cal continues to weaken, the others heads up to the passenger boards and try to find Thomas, who’s living off the grid. Thankfully, they have a Compass at hand, which helps points them in his direction. And he’s actually close by. What are the odds!
Ben works out that the call light was coming from Marko Valeriev’s seat on the bus. Jared and Ben decide to go and bring him to Cal, so they can figure out what’s wrong with him. In their absence, Olive and TJ discuss the Omega Sapphire and realize that it could well help cure Cal. ..
Eagan’s plan is to use the Soup Kitchen as a cover for his true intentions. He convinces his colleague to join him, claiming he hears voices from God. However, as Eagan bursts through the wall, he comes face to face with Michaela and Saanvi on the other side. It seems that Eagan’s plan was successful - he has been able to find out about Michaela and Saanvi’s true identities and plans.
Eagan uncovers a hidden tarot deck in plain sight right behind the drywall. The cards are actually from Al-Zuras’ tarot deck.
The images on the cards match the images on the tiles, which appear to be part of this big plan to lead toward the Omega Sapphire. Using the tiles, they place them above the corresponding tarot cards.
Marko appears to be having a Calling and drops a pad and pen in his lap, drawing out a volcano. The recurring visual motif we’ve been seeing all season long is the world tarot card. Both groups come to the same conclusion and within the walls of this basement, they set fire to the grate underneath, which ignites the wall and shows a drawing of the goddess Maat, which happens to be TJ’s papyrus. Inside happens to be the sapphire.
Eagan sprints away as the ceiling collapses, trapping Leo under a pillar. Thomas arrives just in time to free them. ..
Eden is on a call with an unknown number and hides the phone next to a chair. This is clearly Angelina, right? At the same time, Olive and the rest of the gang learn the truth about Cal’s condition and are absolutely crushed. However, the Calling we’ve seen snippets for across the season comes to fruition.
The passengers on the plane are tumbling down, but it seems that the Death Date is not actually just for them. In fact, it’s the date for the Apocalypse itself. Eagan also appears in the Calling, with a blinding blue light for the sapphire which he’s holding. Michaela urges him to give it back, but instead, he completely disappears.
Eagan collapses in his motel room, clutching a sapphire that he believes was taken from him. He is not sure who stole it, but he is certain that they will pay for their actions.
The Episode Review
With a lot of speculation and anticipation, it now seems as if Manifest has finally put together a plan to save the day with this Omega Sapphire. With promises that it can supposedly cure cancer and could be the key to stopping the Apocalypse from arriving, we’ll have to wait and see just what it all means and how it plays out.
We’re getting to the point of this show where we really needs answers and to be fair, we are actually starting to see that now with some of these later episodes but in doing so, some of the earlier material for this season has felt like busywork by comparison.
In the fifth episode of the show’s search for Eden, the team found her but since then, little progress has been made. Angelina is still the antagonist as before, but hopefully the final episode in this part will switch things up and shed more light on what part she has to play in everything. ..
