'Manifest': How have "all things worked together for good" in the show?

Things have been strange, heartbreaking, tempting, and villainous, but have they been "good" enough for those who lost five years of their lives.

NBC's Jeff Rake-directed show 'Manifest', which returns on January 7 after its mid-season Fall break, has been hinting at clues about the mystery of the missing plane, and we have already discussed the number 828, which is a recurring clue in the series.

Starring Josh Dallas (as Ben Stone), Athena Karkanis (as Grace), Melissa Roxburgh (as Michaela Stone), and Parveen Kaur (as Saanvi Bahl), Manifest follows the sudden re-appearance of Montego Air Flight 828, which went missing for almost five and a half years.

The mystery deepens with all the passengers returning alive, none of them having aged a day. The passengers continue with their disrupted lives but realize they're now experiencing certain "callings" which seem to be leading them towards one destination.
