'Manifest' episode 4 recap: 4 things to remember from the previous episode

An angel, an 'unclaimed baggage', and some realizations, that is all that wraps up 'Manifest' episode 4.

Director Jeff Rake's 'Manifest' broke all records for NBC and following the release of its fourth episode, the network has ordered for an additional three episodes, extending the show to stretch up to 16 episodes. However, it still does not qualify as a full-fledged show, since in order to complete an entire season the show will have to have at least 18 episodes according to cable network norms.

Episode 4 was probably the most mind-stirring one among the last four that have aired since September 24. It brought to focus the fact that the show is pretty subjective in its approach in the sense that the story chiefly revolves around the Stone family who is now dealing with a crisis of their own. Yet, episode 4 stood out because it has added another member to the group of suspects who went missing, presumed dead, when Montego Air Flight 828 disappeared almost five years ago. It took up two characters, one from the main cast and the other who was meant to be the focus of the episode and gave the story an extra push into the mythological realm.
