'Manifest' Season 1: Autumn Cox's character is a victim and so it's a bit unfair to blame her for her actions

Her tragedy is she did not know any better when her daughter's life was threatened, but once she got the chance to make her situation better, she grabbed it
UPDATED JAN 29, 2019

The characters in NBC's 'Manifest' are mostly static in nature and Shirley Rumierk's character, Autumn Cox, is no different. Starring alongside Josh Dallas as Ben Stone, Melissa Roxburgh as Michaela Stone, Parveen Kaur as Saanvi Bahl, and Athena Karkanis as Grace, Autumn was one of the 11 passengers who was abducted from the airport the moment Montego Air Flight 828 landed.

Along with the other 10 passengers, Autumn too was subjected to electrocution as a part of the Major's plan to track the "Callings" the passengers were receiving. However, there is a little twist in her story. As we already know, the 11 passengers were either foreign nationals or convicted criminals, basically people who had nowhere else to go when they landed in New York.
