Manifest season 4 part 2 recap guide: All 10 episodes explained
By Reed Gaudens
Manifest season 4 episode 13 recap: Ghost Plane
Cal brings Fiona Clarke back home. She’s who he found in the barn, and she’s pretty banged up but otherwise alive… though seemingly trapped in a Calling. Olive visits Ben and speaks in code to slide the phrase “23B” (Fiona’s seat number) into Ben’s awareness. He knows exactly what she’s telling him, and he informs her about Daly in coded language. Ben also tells Olive about the “grasshoppers,” but she recognizes them as locusts. Suddenly, Ben has a Calling and he’s escorted away.
Zimmer confirms the bugs are Rocky Mountain locusts, which have supposedly been extinct since 1902. She speaks with a guard about moving to Gupta’s facility. Where is that? We don’t know yet. However, Jared and Michaela are assigned to Ben’s Calling about Mansion Marina and a boat in slip 57. Mick and Jared go to the marina, where they meet Nazir, Eagan’s father. Word of this revelation sparks another Calling for Ben, and he sees a woman in the ocean with a gold pendant necklace.
Finally, Eagan makes his first appearance in season 4 part 2, and not a moment too soon. He meets Russ’ daughter, Jessica, then visits with a woman who he’s apparently working a con with from the inside. Since his Calling is connected to Eagan, Ben reaches out to him about the pendant, which Eagan identifies as the Faravahar, something his mother wears. Eagan’s estranged with his parents and unwilling to assist in solving the Calling.
Michaela, Jared, and Nazir discover Farnaz (Eagan’s mother) is missing from their home, and there’s blood on the floor. Rather quickly, Farnaz returns home, and it turns out she staged the robbery herself. Ben has another calling of an iron heart wrapped in strings, reminding Eagan of Cheryl, his protégé from visitation hours earlier. He admits to running a con on the families of passengers. Cheryl crossed him and ran a con on his mother. During Cheryl’s attempted con on Jessica, Jared and Mick arrest her. Later, Eagan’s parents visit him at the detention center.
Olive learns that Fiona suffered head trauma as a child in a car accident. She nearly died during brain surgery, but later went on to become the neuropsychologist we know now. Olive hypothesizes that her head trauma could account for Fiona’s lack of Callings. Cal goes into Fiona’s current Calling and sees an olive tree on Flight 828. He comes out of the Calling with olives in his hand, which Olive (so many olives!) can see and hold in her own hand. As Cal says, “That’s new!” In order to save Fiona, Cal projects to Saanvi and she walks him through inserting a straw into her lung, a life-saving procedure. The twins set up a camera to keep an eye on Fiona.
When Nina relays to Angelina that she and her mother are moving to San Diego, Angelina takes it personally. “Are you leaving me?” Be so serious, Angie. But it’s not the worst thing she does in this episode. She uses her Calling projection powers to project to Eden (which we know because of her nail polish color and overall weird energy). Of course, she gaslights and manipulates Eden, going so far as to moving research around, opening the Bible to Revelations 11, and forcing her to remove the straw from Fiona’s chest, effectively killing her. Angelina wants to kill the two witnesses represented by the olive trees — Fiona and Daly — to bring on the end of times.
Biggest Revelations:
- While Registry agents are moving Daly, one touches his boils, catches the infection, and dies. Saanvi’s testing reveals that the locusts and the boils — the plagues — have both originated from Captain Daly. She fights with Zimmer to be able to test on Daly to find their origin and cure. Without permission, she sneaks a blood sample from Daly.
- Olive notices the changes to the research board, the Bible open to Revelations 11, the verse about olive trees… She realizes it’s about Fiona and Daly, but not before Angelina’s able to make her first kill and hit the road for New York.
- Michaela and Jared have multiple “moments” throughout the episode, first with their hands touching on the door handle. (Not gonna lie, that one was a little heavy handed, no pun intended.) He then allows her to go for a run like she missed from before being locked up in the Registry detention center. They nearly kiss, but Michaela isn’t ready for that step.
