'Manifest' is back and so are the questions hovering over viewers' minds. The first episode began with the revelation of how Michaela Stone was shot. Through the course of the episode, she slowly recovered. While the mystery of death dates surrounds the entire season, one riddle yet to be solved is: 'Who is the father of Grace Stone's baby?'

Grace and Ben Stone were seen reconciling and celebrating the good news with their family. However, in one scene, while strolling through the streets with Olive Stone, Grace has an awkward encounter with Danny. After finally moving on from Ben, she met Danny and it is quite a conundrum whether Grace is pregnant with Ben or Danny's child. Moreover, she hasn't even told Danny about her pregnancy. 

Fans are taken aback and can't stop wondering what would Ben's reaction be if it ultimately turns out to be Danny's child. "So we all know this has to be Danny's child, right?" one viewer wrote and another said, "#Manifest - So confused!! If Grace's baby turns to be Danny's ... Omg!! I Will lose it!"

Meanwhile, one fan called Danny a "stalker" and said, "Eh.. I’m sensing a little “stalker” Danny here! I think he knows she’s prego cause he kept looking at her stomach!! I see you Danny! #Manifest #SaveThePassengers."

Another one posted, "Am I the only one that thinks she should tell Danny about the pregnancy? #Manifest."

"The men on this show have a raw deal. Ben and the baby may not be his. Danny and the whole not knowing about the baby. #Manifest," one tweet read and another said, "'m still convinced Danny is an undercover agent planted to get to know Grace for when Cal & Ben eventually came home. #Manifest."

"Season 2 of manifest still don't like Grace or Jared. The baby is definitely Danny's child," one viewer posted. Coming to Grace's defense, one fan wrote on Twitter, "If the baby turns out to be Danny's, no slander shall be tolerated towards Grace. How would she know her dead husband would magically come back to life, five years later."

The next episode of 'Manifest' airs on Monday, January 13, but there might be some time before the makers unlock the mystery.
