Secrets are unraveled as the new ‘Manifest’ episode brings a fresh set of faces. Last week, we saw how the three men who tried to kill Cal Stone (Jack Messina) returned and one of them — Pete Baylor played by Devin Harjes — was caught by cops. Now, what happens in the new episode? Will the show answer some of the most pertinent questions that fans have been waiting to know? 

Titled ‘Wingman’, the summary of the episode reads: "While in pursuit of criminals, Michaela is sidelined by devastating news; Ben teams up with a gifted 828er to aid a young teen; as Grace confronts ancient family wounds, Olive explores ancient mythology in hopes of helping all the passengers."

In a promo, Jared Vasquez asks: "Are there any passengers that know anything?" Ben then meets the gifted young man, Eagan Tehrani (played by Ali Lopez-Sohaili) — who has a photographic memory. The two discuss how they need to put their clues together as there's more than meets the eye. He tells Ben: "You missed something!"

An actor and writer, Ali Lopez-Sohaili is known for his stints in 'Run it Back' (2016), 'Shakespeare Hashish and Ish' (2012) and 'Manifest' (2018). Eagan is one of the Flight 828 passengers who has managed to stay off the grid since returning. The question remains: Are his intentions good or bad and will he be a real help to Ben?
