A life is in danger... As ‘Manifest’ returns with a double episode, all eyes are on Michaela Stone (Melissa Roxburgh). A chilling promo reveals that a shadowy figure is after her life. In the episode, she is told, "He is going to kill you... you need to hide."  

The promo also shows flashes of a shadowy figure running after her. For a long time, fans have wondered who could the figure be and there seem to be no answers. Why does it want to kill Michaela? Did Michaela hurt someone? And who will save her — Ben Stone (Josh Dallas), Cal Stone (Jack Messina), Zeke Landon (Matt Long) or Jared Vasquez (JR Ramirez). As the episode ends, there is another major shocker. Read on.

Titled 'Water Landing', the summary of the fifth episode reads, "Michaela’s premonition leads her to pursue a fugitive. Ben tries to gain the trust of an unlikely ally. Olive’s relationship with Levi leads to a fascinating discovery. Jared and Drea uncover devastating secrets. Saanvi finds herself faced with a dilemma that may jeopardize the Eureka project." 

Meanwhile, the sixth episode — 'Graveyard Spiral' — reads: "As Mick and Zeke finally collide with Jace in a grueling match to survive, Ben races against the clock to save his family. When they all converge in an intense battle, the fallout will reveal a massive new clue regarding the fate of Passengers."

What happened after Michaela's life was in danger? Fans couldn't stop spilling their theories. Thankfully, she came out of it stronger and with a glow! Ha!

"Damn I was thinking Jace would throw Michaela off the cliff, but instead she fell. She should be dead, but somehow I doubt that," one fan said. "What just happened when Zeke pulled Michaela over the cliff?" another viewer wondered and a third said, "Ouch! Poor Michaela, a dislocated shoulder is painful. Needs to be popped back in." What's more, one couldn't help but point out that the love triangle between Zeke, Jared and Michaela could begin again. "Zeke is going to feel that Michaela is still in love with Jared and leave her so she can be with him. Calling it now," a tweet read. 

The episode ends with her hands glowing, just like Ben. "2 hours once again next week and OMGGG NOW MICHAELA'S HANDS ARE GLOWING!!! WHAAAAAAT??" one fan said. Another posted, "Could this have all been avoided had Michaela “let him go” way back when?"
