It’s all connected and it all brought us here. 

Manifest is taking off for the last time when Season 4, Part 2 premieres on June 2, 2023. Ahead of departure, here’s one calling straight from your captain: You can watch the first nine minutes of the final episodes of the series right now.

June 2, 2024 is integral to the show’s lore, as it is the predicted Death Date for the passengers of Montego Air Flight 828. Originally, they thought that it only applied to the 191 passengers of the flight, and that they’d all live or die together. But as siblings Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) and Ben Stone (Josh Dallas) have led the larger group to discover, that death date applies to all of humanity if they can’t find a way out of their doom. No pressure.

Manifest began by introducing the mystery of the passengers of Flight 828 who, after disappearing for five and a half years and returning without having aged a day, began experiencing “callings” — feelings, voices or visions guiding the characters to undertake a specific action.

By the end of Season 4, Part 1, the passengers –– and the show’s fans along with them –– were closer than ever to figuring out how those mysterious callings fit into the show’s larger mythology. “I don’t know that I’d say that [the mythology is] all laid out, but I think that this block of episodes — and stumbling upon this theory of divine consciousness — is probably the biggest card turn yet,” Manifest creator Jeff Rake previously told Tudum of that big reveal.

But the mid-season finale left us with more questions, like what happens now that Cal (Ty Doran) is officially the Dragon after Zeke (Matt Long) sacrificed his own life to save him? And now that Angelina (Holly Taylor) is on the run with a powerful piece of sapphire permanently lodged into her hand and lava crackling all around the city? 

As we see in the premiere’s first nine minutes, Part 2 picks up eight months later and, as of yet, it’s not widely known that adult Cal was one of the passengers. But the tentative peace seems to be short-lived, as he wakes up from a “nightmare” with his scar glowing –– which it hasn’t done since he destroyed the omega sapphire –– and then again when Zeke died.

We also see Olive (Luna Blaise) and Eden (Brianna Riccio and Gianna Riccio) Stone pay their dad Ben a visit… in the 828 Detention Center. Elsewhere in the prison of sorts, a grieving Michaela is etching M + Z onto her bunk bed. Not nearly as fun as when you’re at sleepaway camp.

Be warned though, Manifesters, the skies are far from clear from here on out.  “The first calling in the final batch changes everything,” Rake previously warned Tudum.

Is it the end of the world as we know it? Maybe. Tune in to Part 2 of Manifest Season 4 to find out.
