'Manifest' finale preview: There are way too many questions left unanswered for the NBC show to end with 'Estimated Time of Departure'

The finale might give us a different perspective on the "Callings" but that cannot be the conclusion to the show, which has left so many questions unanswered

Creator Jeff Rake's mystery thriller, 'Manifest', has barely one more episode to go and the mystery surrounding Montego Air Flight 828 is not even close to being solved. Starring Josh Dallas as Ben Stone, Melissa Roxburgh as Michaela Stone, Parveen Kaur as Saanvi Bahl, Jack Messina as Cal Stone, Athena Karkanis as Grace, and Matt Long as Zeke, the story follows the sudden re-appearance of the plane, which went missing almost five and a half years ago. It was discovered the passengers who hadn't aged a day were now hearing strange voices in their heads, that they refer to as "Callings". 

The promo trailer for the final episode suggests the show will wrap up the mystery within one episode, but that seems quite unlikely. The penultimate episode introduced us to a new character, James Griffin (played by Marc Menchaca), who, unlike the previous acquaintances of the passengers, such as Zeke, is a villain.
