The Death Date affects everyone, not passengers, as we discovered throughout the season. Additionally, we got in touch with Divine Consciousness, realized that the Callings are memories, learned about the abilities of the Omega Sapphire, and reconnected with a considerable number of 828ers. It’s a good thing there are still 10 episodes left because the Part 1 conclusion presents a bleak picture of the situation.
Recap of the “Manifest” Season 4 Part 1 Finale
We find that Angelina stole the Omega Sapphire from Eagan at the beginning of the episode, and she is already spreading havoc by splitting the ground beneath her as she summons its power. Ashes are raining from the sky in Michaela’s visions, but even scarier is the fact that Cal is actually on his deathbed, his condition fast deteriorating after his cancer resurfaced earlier in the season. He commands his family to look for the Omega Sapphire so they to avoid the death date and possibly save him using the gem’s abilities.
Ben receives a Calling and communicates with his beloved late wife Grace. Ben brings Eden to Grace’s grave where he receives another “Calling,” and she instructs him to bring Eden to her so that “all will make sense.” However, he notices that Eden’s eyes are the wrong hue when Grace orders him to return to Angelina. Not Grace, though. With the help of the Omega Sapphire, Angelina is grabbing Eden once more in front of Ben while holding him at gunpoint.
Ben, though, comes up with the notion of letting Eden choose her partner. Eden expresses her desire to be with her father, to Angelina’s dismay. As Ben flees the scene with Eden, Angelina frantically fires her rifle after them. Angelina screams and clutches the sapphire in a fit of rage, which causes all of the 828ers to clutch their heads and scream in pain from wherever they are.
After being re-promoted, Jared formally joins the Registry at the precinct, where he can, in Drea’s words, “offer more help to 828ers inside the guts of the beast.” The 828ers all scream in unison when Angelina does. Regional offices “across the country” are inundated with calls from passengers who have all just engaged in the “particularly onerous or unusual behavior” that the Registry is supposed to look into, which has resulted in a mass lockup. The decision to detain every 828er in the nation is made by the episode’s conclusion.
Michaela finds the book she saw in an ominous Calling, which Eagan stole from Angelina’s mother, and has a vision of a faceless angel shattering like stained glass as Jared and her search for the Omega Sapphire takes them to Eagan’s hospital room. The identical vision that directed Angelina to her old school in Syosset in Season 3—a mystery that Olive works quickly to assist Michaela to uncover.
There, Michaela and Ben witness a horrifying scene: Angelina is causing the ground beneath the church to erupt into molten lava, trapping helpless children. And to make matters worse, she now thinks she is an archangel “sent to exact vengeance on the wicked and guides righteous to salvation.”
Creator of “Manifest” Explains That Tragic Resolution
Is Zeke gone now? Tragically, yes, but in the universe of “Manifest,” that doesn’t automatically mean he’s dead. Additionally, in the words of the show’s creator Jeff Rake, the identification of divine consciousness may enable Zeke and Michaela to communicate “even after Zeke’s passing.”
Divine consciousness, according to Rake’s definition in “Manifest,” is the “idea that there is a place where perhaps we go just before we die or that the divine, if we subscribe to the concept of the Divine, that there is a place that the divine lives, that’s a place of all-knowingness, where you know everything that has happened, everything that will happen.”
Speaking of tough times, Angelina is proving to be quite the opponent for the Stones and humanity at large. She is convinced that she is an archangel doing the lord’s work, empowered and more powerful than ever, and it appears that she is working against the other passengers to push the world toward the end date. Since Joffrey in “Game of Thrones,” she has also emerged as one of the most potent and irritating villains in recent memory, inciting uncommon audience rage.
But “Manifest,” a program about humanity trying to prove itself after being tested by the divine, isn’t only a tale of redemption and second chances, is it? Can Angelina still be saved, or has she cemented her status as the series’ villain?
According to Rake, who was speaking about the final 10 episodes, “We come to discover late in the series that Ben’s ability to forgive and the concept of forgiveness, at least for Ben, becomes inherently tied into his ability to redeem himself. That becomes one of the most crucial inquiries in the collection.
