'Manifest' episode 5 preview: 3 things to look out for in the upcoming episode

A boy who can see the future, a failing affair, and some untold feelings...Episode 5 is running on the right track.

A plane goes missing for more than five years, but the passengers on the plane are barely aware of the gap in time. Presumed dead, their loved ones move on with their lives only to discover that the mysterious Flight 828 is back and the passengers have not aged a day. That is the premise around which creator Jeff Rake's 'Manifest' revolves, and after the fourth episode, it is established that none of the passengers have returned the persons that they were before the disappearance. 

Episode four was a narrow escape for most of the characters- specifically, for Saanvi (Parveen Kaur), Bethany (Mugga), and Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh). While Saanvi was helping out Bethany to find her nephew's boyfriend Thomas, they bump into Michaela which gives rise to a series of rather unusual events. Now that Michaela and Saanvi know that they are both seeing the same things, it is probably time that the two women who have been fighting hard to understand what was going on will team up to face their fate head on. However, there are still many unresolved issues, some of which they are barely even aware of.
