'Manifest': Is young Cal the ultimate clue in solving the mystery of Montego Air Flight 828?

Cal's clairsensitive powers are unique because it is only he who is able to predict things, but what if there's more to him? What if he is the mastermind?

Cal Stone has been observed to probably be the most significant clue in solving the mystery of Montego Air Flight 828, which is the key plot of the Jeff Rake-created show 'Manifest'. Played by Jack Messina, Cal was the first to experience the "Calling" which every passenger has been hearing in their head ever since they got off the plane. Starring alongside Josh Dallas as Ben Stone, Melissa Roxburgh as Michaela Stone, Athena Karkanis as Grace, Parveen Kaur as Saanvi Bahl, and Luna Blaise as Olive Stone, the NBC show has been following the passengers of the plane who have been haunted by the "Callings" ever since they arrived. 

Cal being the first one to experience the "Calling" was a massive clue that the show left us with. It not only validates the authenticity of the "Callings" but also reveals that Cal might just be the key to the plane's disappearance.
