'Manifest' seems to be diving deep into drama, mystery and suspense with each episode. Last week, it ended with a major twist as a beloved character — TJ Morrison (Garrett Wareing) — was presumed dead.

It all transpired after Ben Stone (Josh Dallas), his sister Michaela Stone (Melissa Roxburgh), Saanvi Bahl (Parveen Kaur) and Adrian (Jared Grimes) had a peculiar calling asking them to "save the passengers". What will happen next in Season 2 Episode 8 titled 'Carry On'?

In a new promo, Ben and Olive Stone (Luna Blaise) try to figure out the meaning of the callings. When Ben hears another calling, Olive tells him, "Maybe it wants you to follow it." The summary reads: "In the wake of a devastating tragedy, Ben tries to connect with a despondent Olive; Michaela questions Jared's loyalties, and Saanvi shares a medical breakthrough that could change the course of all their lives."



 

Fans are pretty intrigued by the plot twists. Most viewers are wondering if TJ is really dead. "No way I can't believe this. TJ didn't deserve to die. He just confessed that he believed in miracles and that he had somethings to live for. I feel like this is gonna change Olive in a major way. Also, I'm glad Michaela knows Jared is up to no good. Also, I feel so bad for Saanvi, I cried so much," one viewer wrote.

Another said, "I don't believe that TJ is dead, but it's really sad that the guy from the last episode, the one who saved the son, is dead. He was such a good guy." One fan had his own theory about how TJ could turn out to be alive. "The end of this promo seems to hint that the chanting led them to find TJ at the rubble. Based on both of their reactions, especially Ben's relieved smile," his comment read. 

Adding more mystery with its tagline, "What are they destined to find?" the next episode of 'Manifest' may reveal a big truth on March 2 at 10 pm ET on NBC.
