‘Manifest’ finale recap: What happens to the passengers on board? ›

Upon arrival in New York City, the passengers realize they have been granted a second chance at life. A police investigation reunites Vance with the events surrounding Flight 828. Saanvi reunites with Alex, Ben assures Grace that Saanvi will cure Cal's illness, and Michaela joins Zeke in a new chapter of her life.

11 of the passengers fail the test and perish, including Angelina, who killed Grace and kidnapped Eden. Those who passed arrived back in the time and place they were supposed to land 11 years before, and are reunited with their loved ones.

“We wrote the Daly scene as an end tag, but that happy ending felt just right on its own,” Manifest creator Jeff Rake previously told Tudum. “So releasing the Daly scene after the fact made the most sense. The fans needed their Daly closure!”

While the death day once seemed inevitable, the ending drives passengers to seek forgiveness and redemption to be granted mercy. Based on how sincerely their pleas are, it actually works and many of them are spared. However, for 11 passengers, their judgment is confirmed, and they are reaped.

In a very satisfying conclusion, we discover that not only do all the worthy passengers arrive alive, but the dearly departed — though not forgotten — Grace (Athena Karkanis) and Zeke (Matt Long) also return.

All of the passengers who died along the way are resurrected, aside from Angelina and the others who weren't able to beat the Death Date, while Cal is restored to his childhood without any memories of the five and a half years that had passed.

Ben and Saanvi, these were two people cut from the same cloth, and they were great friends — and they also had trauma bonding happening.” In the second part of Season 4, they sleep together, but quickly acknowledge they aren't meant to be.

Long after disappearing into a second storm with Fiona, Daly returned for a brief moment in the season 3 finale before vanishing for a third time. Manifest succeeded in making sense of this by revealing that Daly and Fiona were trapped within the divine consciousness.

Believing that Fiona had to die for her plan to work, Angelina used her Omega Sapphire powers to manipulate Eden into unknowingly killing her, shortly before arranging for Captain Daly's death as well. Whether Daly was revived or not wasn't confirmed, but the series finale revealed that Fiona was indeed revived by God.

A deleted scene from the Manifest series finale reveals that Captain Bill Daly was actually killed a second time in the series. As it turns out, the Flight 828 pilot died not once, but twice in season 4. Played by Frank Deal, Daly became one of at least 12 passengers denied a happy ending in Manifest's final episode.

What happens to Ben at the end of Manifest? ›

Ben reunites with the now-alive Grace and both older Stone siblings embrace their mom, who had died during the five-and-a-half years they were missing. Cal is back to his 10-year-old self, and Ben tells Grace he knows someone who will be able to cure their son's illness.

On the flight, Michaela resolved to accept Jared's proposal, but fate had other plans. Flight 828 only landed in New York five and a half years later, which meant everyone assumed that the passengers had died. When Michaela and Jared finally reunite, she learned that he married her best friend, Lourdes.

In a real twist, Cal is his 11-year-old self again and he also has no memory of what happened to him — it's some type of reward for his sacrifice with the sapphire. In a bigger twist, not one family member of a passenger wonders why their loved one is weeping upon seeing them after getting off a plane.

The final episode is filled with suspense as the passengers of Flight 828 confront the impending arrival of their long-dreaded Death Date. Cal selflessly sacrifices himself by combining his sapphire stone with a piece of Noah's Ark, triggering a powerful blue beam that beckons all the passengers to gather at the site.

Angelina's evil deeds were such that she was condemned for her actions on the Death Date, burning to ash and utterly powerless to stop it. With her last words, Angelina expresses shock that she was condemned, maintaining her insane belief right until the end that she was an angel.

As a result, Eden is erased from existence along with the original timeline where she had existed.

For most of the last ten episodes of Manifest, flight 828 passengers found themselves locked in a detention center by the Registry because of public fear and the government wanting to do scientific experiments on them.

A real-life plane disappearance loosely inspired the current version of the show. The crux of Manifest's story is about Flight 828. The passengers aboard the plane thought they were heading back to JFK Airport on April 7, 2013. However, it wasn't until Nov.

The Callings are actually memories from the Divine Consciousness. Whenever someone goes into it, they know everything that will happen; but forget when they leave. The subconscious tells them to carry out what they used to remember.

Michaela, Jared, Vance, Ben, and Fiona find nothing at the warehouse, but Cal arrives and exposes a hidden door. There is a gun fight and the missing passengers are freed.
