'Manifest' episode 5 review: It all goes back to the origin

Cal is the harbinger of the callings, and maybe he is only one who was meant to see the light ahead of the other passengers of Montego Flight 828

Creator Jeff Rake has stated that NBC's 'Manifest' has nine episodes before it takes a break for fall, only  to return in January for the season 1 finale. Within such a short span, Rake is required to go back and forth in the series in order to tell his story in a refined way, and the creator has shown his skill to fit in a gap of five years within just 55 minutes in the fifth episode of the mythological sci-fi. 

The episode, aptly named 'Connecting Flights', goes back to the origin story of how it all began and the eventual incidents that began to take shape.
