'Manifest' episode 3 recap: 5 things to remember before tuning into episode 4

Saanvi's discovery, Cal's realization, and Ben and Grace's consistent efforts to make their marriage work are leading to a rather suspenseful fourth episode.
PUBLISHED OCT 15, 2018

The third episode of creator Jeff Rake's 'Manifest', starring Melissa Roxburgh and Josh Dallas, had left us wondering what more could lie ahead for the characters. The show follows the story of the passengers of Montego Air Flight 828 which disappeared in 2013 and has landed back in 2018, by when all the passengers were presumed dead. While the show has been pulling strings to adjust the backgrounds of several characters according to the plot, the show chiefly remains grounded in the Stone family, whose two members Michaela (Roxburgh) and Ben (Dallas) along with Ben's son, Cal (Jack Messina) are now facing some unusual events in their lives. 

Episode 3 revolved largely on the theme "own your truth", and throughout the episode, every character seemed to follow the pattern in their own ways. While the phrase, "own your truth", was just a calling that Michaela heard and wrote on the fridge, it soon gave rise to a series of unusual events that have certainly answered some questions. Saanvi (Parveen Kaur) followed her true calling to discover the mark inside Cal's head which could be the reason why the passengers are experiencing those eerie incidents. Michaela takes charge of her own truth and tries to confront Evie's parents with the reality. Similarly, while revolving around the theme, the third episode has managed to unwind certain sections of the show.
