'Manifest' Season 1 review: There's reason to think that the UDS has been using Saanvi's discovery in Episode 3 to track passengers

Saanvi had found something back in episode 3, and it might re-surface in episode 9 as a new clue to the mystery.

What really happened with the brain tissue that Saanvi (played by Parveen Kaur) had discovered way back in the third episode? Five episodes in, and we still do not have clue about the proceedings of Saanvi's discovery. As one of the passengers of Montego Air Flight 828, whose sudden re-appearance after five and a half years forms the basic theme of NBC's Jeff Rake-directed show, 'Manifest', Saanvi has been trying to find the rationale behind the "callings" that she and her co-passengers have been receiving. 

However, as the show kept progressing, somewhere down the line the case with the brain tissue seemed to blur into the background. Although it was referred to in a few episodes, it never seemed to take a concrete shape as a theory. Yet, we would like to root for the fact that Saanvi's findings will not go to waste, and with the concept of mirror neurons coming up, probably it will be referred to once again. So, how can Saanvi's discovery help with solving the mystery of the "callings" now that Fiona Clarke (played by Francesca Faridany) has already established the fact that mirror neurons can help replicate significant brain data, along with emotions?
