[Michaela] Previously on Manifest...
828 wasn't an accident.
We're supposed to save the passengers together.
I should've never proposed so soon after the accident. She's not ready.
The driftwood really is a surviving piece of Noah's Ark.
All the data seem to point us in that direction.
[Saanvi] Today's earthquake was in the center of all of these miracles.
We're being sent a message to stop.
How could you do what you did?
I didn't tell you to kidnap a child. I didn't tell you to kill someone!
- Am I the father? - [Drea] Biologically.
But whether or not you wanna be an actual parent...
[Jared] It's all I've ever wanted.
Like it or not, Cal, I'm here because of you.
You're the biggest threat to the Lifeboat.
[Olive] The peacock, goddess, Juno.
June, Gemini, twins, represents the number two.
The year of the wood dragon in the Chinese zodiac.
[Ben] June 2nd, 2024.
It's all connected.
[Ben] Michaela! You just missed another one.
You're not paying attention to what's in front of you!
You're so obsessed with what's right in front of you
that you're not seeing what's over there!
We're supposed to be collecting firewood, not entire trees.
What if there's magic there, like Tuck Everlasting?
Well, the only magic I'm interested in is the s'mores we get
if we collect more firewood than Mom and Dad.
Oh, you did not say anything about s'mores!
All right, here's what we're gonna do. Uh, you head left, and I'll head right.
Uh, exsqueeze me. Who made you captain?
Logic made me captain, okay?
I'm older. I'm better at planning,
and I've been mapping out the areas the entire time.
Look, I've already found more firewood than you.
[woman laughs]
I think you should both be captains.
Mom!
You both have different gifts, and you're gonna be stronger together.
And judging by the fact that I have 35 pictures of birds
and no firewood,
I think you two have a pretty good shot at winning those s'mores.
- [chuckles] - [mom] Here.
Let me get a picture of my little birdies.
- [camera clicks] - [chuckles]
If we're both captain, I think we should make this official.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Give me your knife. - [camera clicking]
- [Michaela giggles] - [Ben] Michaela.
[Ben] Old habits?
Happy Eve of Destruction.
Oh, come on. Let's not even joke about it.
Listen, there's been some panic now that the Callings are gone,
and it's been all I can do to keep everyone that's still here calm.
- What have you been telling them? - [sighs] What I'm telling myself.
It ain't over till it's over.
[sniffing]
What?
Is that perfume, Benjamin Stone?
Seriously? We're staring down the end of the world,
and you got nothing better to do than to bust my chops?
Oh no, I have a lot better to do, but this is just more fun.
- Stop! - It's nice. It's good.
[laughs]
I can't believe it.
- [gasps] It worked! - I know.
Henry Kim stepped out for a few minutes, came back, and they were all awake.
[Saanvi] Marko.
Hi. Are you okay? Do you recall anything?
[speaking Bulgarian]
- He only speaks Bulgarian. - No, I knew that.
Thanks for stepping in. We got it, TJ.
Yeah, for sure.
Are you all right?
Do you remember anything? Anything at all from the glow?
We were in a lab, military.
Someone was doing experiments.
And then we woke up here.
None of them have any memories between their time with the major and now.
They were in a constant Calling for five and a half years.
Maybe they came back with something.
Something that could help us survive the next 24 hours.
Even if they did know something, it's gone now.
Oh.
"The camera's eyes on choice disguised."
Hemingway?
[chuckles] No. Rage Against the Machine.
I set the camera up yesterday to record the experiments.
I forgot to turn it off.
Oh, let's see what we missed.
[mysterious music plays]
Hey.
Where'd you get that?
Henry Kim.
It's, like, the most powerful dragon.
Like king of storms or something.
I don't wanna drag you into my mess.
I feel bad enough that you're still in here, living with us.
Come on, Cal.
We are the original Gemini twins.
We were together in the beginning, and we'll be together in the end.
I wish I could've grown up with you.
When the plane disappeared,
it felt like... like it took both of our childhoods with it.
I missed you so much, but I... I knew.
I just felt it.
That you were... That you were still alive.
We may have lost time,
but we never lost each other.
So...
now do you wanna tell your twin what's going on?
[chuckles]
It's...
it's a Calling I had.
Two sapphires come together, creating a star glowing so bright.
I think it's how I'm supposed to help save the world.
What did Dad say?
I haven't told him,
because I haven't exactly figured it out yet.
Look.
We are all in this together.
And that... that's how we're gonna figure this out.
Together.
[inspirational music plays]
[mysterious music plays]
- Okay, you're sure that's what that means? - Two sapphires have to connect.
- Cal, that means you and Angelina. - There must be another way.
The fate of the world hangs in a balance.
She's the only other person with a sapphire.
[Cal] But why her?
Why would the divine put me through some twisted test
to reach out to the person who hurt my family the most?
No matter what Angelina's done, we're still standing in spite of it.
Now the Calling wants you to go to her.
So go.
Dad, I'm not sure.
Cal.
I know I told you before
that I didn't think you were strong enough to keep Angelina out, but...
but I was wrong.
The reason I think you're connected to her is because
I think you're the only one strong enough to convince her to do something right.
[emotional music plays]
Cal, if this is a test, you have to face it.
If you're scared, just use that.
So, now what?
I guess I gotta see a girl about a sapphire.
Morning, Adrian. You said you wanted to talk? I'm ready.
But I am curious. How'd you know where to find us?
I ran into him while I was out getting supplies.
Guess I forgot to tell you.
Guess you did.
So, why are you here?
I'm here to make amends.
I spent months tracking down everyone I can
to apologize for the harm I caused.
Families of victims from the nightclub fire,
people from the compounds.
Weren't you afraid you'd get caught running around like this?
If we don't redeem ourselves, the world will end.
I'll risk my freedom for the lives of all mankind.
And now I'm here for you.
I told you to find your angel. You misunderstood my words.
I don't need your apology.
I'm an archangel sent by God.
[laughs]
You're serious?
God infused me with sapphire.
I now have the power of destruction and salvation.
Look, I know what it's like to drink your own Kool-Aid.
- When I had the Church of the Believers-- - You were blaspheming. False prophet.
Oh, and you're the real deal? Squatting here in the Stones' house?
Poetic justice. They kicked me out of their family,
so I came back with my own family,
including my husband.
Angelina's the other half of my heart.
The con man and the false prophet. [chuckles]
You think the Death Date isn't coming for you?
No, I told you I'm special.
Then prove it.
Can you make things levitate?
Can you read my mind?
- Don't-- - What actual power do you have?
Dude, don't go there.
- [Cal] Angelina? - [gasps]
[mysterious music plays]
[Angelina] Cal.
You were right, Angelina.
About what?
About us needing to work together.
I had a Calling.
Of you and me?
[Cal] I should've known.
This journey has always kept us connected to one another.
Even before we met,
I didn't know what you'd look like,
I didn't know how you'd sound,
but I knew you had this enormous potential for good, for kindness.
I... I could feel it.
And the thing is,
I still can.
[mystical whirring]
Cal!
Join me!
Together, we can stop the Death Date.
It's a chance to make up for all the bad things you've done.
Wait, what did you just say?
It's a chance to do good.
To balance all the pain you've caused.
[scoffs] The pain I've caused?
What about the pain I've endured?
Angelina, it's okay. This is a chance for you to redeem yourself.
I am the redeemer. God chose me!
We're both chosen, but neither of us are strong enough on our own.
[Angelina] Well, I'm not on my own anymore.
I have a partner, someone who loves me unconditionally.
But only you and I have the sapphires. We have a choice. We can save everyone.
I don't wanna save everyone.
The Death Date is a cleansing.
A chance for a complete do-over.
So if you're telling me the only way to stop it is to work with you,
then... I'm afraid this is goodbye.
Please. You're talking about the end of the world.
Yes, I am.
Angelina, no!
[theme music plays]
[Ben] What happened? Did you see her?
Our... our sapphires connected. It's something new.
Like, together, we created a glow.
- Cal, that's incredible. - It's not. I failed.
- [Ben] Cal. - It takes two sapphires, and she refused.
She doesn't wanna save the world. She wants to... to end it.
She always wanted to end it.
Oh my God.
I'm an idiot for thinking I could change her mind.
- Cal, please! - Hey.
Let him cool off. I'll talk to him later.
All right, fine. Um...
I'll go check on Saanvi.
[mysterious music plays]
Oh my God. You're awake. Hey, Marko.
I don't think he remembers you. None of them remember a thing.
But get this.
We caught Marko saying something on the security footage.
[speaking Bulgarian]
[speaks Bulgarian]
What does that mean to you, Marko? Kovcheg. Does anybody speak Bulgarian?
Maybe he can draw it.
[suspenseful music plays]
Kovcheg.
[Ben] Coffin.
Marko came back with a message from the divine consciousness,
and that message is...
we're all gonna die.
Why do the 828 passengers decide the fate of the world?
Why us?
Why not us?
There's enough good in this group to represent the best of humanity.
Gimme a sec, okay?
You must hate me.
Is that what you thought I was gonna open with?
I mean, deep down,
you must resent the hell out of the fact that Zeke gave his life up for mine.
Cal-- [scoffs]
I miss the hell out of Zeke.
I'm not gonna deny that, but he knew what he was choosing.
He died because he thought I could help save the world,
but I'm just a screwed-up kid who didn't ask for any of this!
[Michaela] None of us asked for this,
but that doesn't mean that we can't rise to the occasion.
Zeke knew that.
Look.
Sometimes the connections that we have with other people,
we don't always get to see.
Evie dying meant that someone else got to live.
Zeke dying meant that you got to live.
You gotta let go of your guilt, Cal.
Honor the connection you had to him by making his sacrifice mean something.
He believed in you.
So do I, but that doesn't matter unless you believe in yourself.
Hey, Cal. You forgot...
[Michaela] You okay, Ol?
You guys...
The peacock!
Gemini.
And I'm here to bring you back the wooden dragon.
The three original symbols. That can't be a coincidence, right?
I think the coincidence ship sailed a long time ago.
The symbols that brought us the Death Date...
Might hold the answers to stopping it.
[foreboding music plays]
[Drea] Oh!
[Jared] Whoa, whoa! Hey! Let me help you two!
Oh, thank you.
It is so humbling to be completely out of touch
with the lower half of your body.
Yeah? Well, I think you are actually killing this whole supply room thing.
Especially considering we may only need one more day worth of supplies.
Uh, don't listen to your father.
I have hope.
- What? - [Drea] Hope.
That's a pretty bomb name for her, don't you think?
[gasps]
I'm sorry. You didn't wanna know the gender.
It's a girl?
D...
Hope.
Esperanza.
I love it.
- That's our girl. - Yeah!
To celebrate, I'm gonna throw you a little impromptu baby shower.
- [Drea] No! - Uh-huh.
You know my mom bought me the entire inventory of La Balota.
Did she get you one of these?
[Drea] No, she did not.
[Jared] I've been holding on to that for decades
in hopes that I can teach my son or daughter how to play ball one day.
You're killing me, Vasquez.
[Jared] There's more.
Hope, your old man,
he learned how to walk in these.
Oh my God!
[Jared] Right?
Uh... [sniffles]
Hormones, sorry!
[cries]
Maybe I'll hold off from showing you the onesie my abuela knitted just yet.
[both laugh]
Saanvi! Come, look.
The original symbols?
They resurfaced.
Peacock, June, Gemini, second, wooden dragon.
2024, yeah, they gave us the Death Date.
Recent Callings brought us back to these symbols,
which means they might have something new to show us.
Like, maybe, how to survive.
[Saanvi] No.
[sighs] I don't even know how to tell you this.
Marko woke up and brought a message back from the glow.
Kovcheg. It's Bulgarian for "coffin."
Everything... Everything is pointing in the same direction.
June 2nd, 2024.
Tomorrow...
is the day we die.
[man] You told me if I followed you, if I was loyal,
you'd save me, and I've done everything.
Please just let me know I have a spot!
But I could have children!
The human race has to survive. I'll do whatever it takes.
God will guide me.
I'm... I'm not ready to choose,
but this is a decision I won't make lightly.
Come on! You don't pick or choose who survives!
It's all or nothing.
We've been in this together since 828 landed.
That's the only way we finish this journey. Together!
You don't get to have a say in any of this.
I'm chosen! Just like Noah.
Noah had an ark.
God told him exactly how to do it. He gave it to him in sapphire.
So tell me, Angelina. Tell all of us.
Where's your ark?
God will show me where the ark is.
I'm gonna grab a snack.
[mysterious music plays]
These symbols came to us in a different way this time,
so maybe we just have to look at them through a different lens, right?
First, the peacock Calling told us what we need.
The two sapphires, right?
Okay. The Gemini symbol, which connected us across space and time
in a way we might not even realize.
Okay, maybe that's our how.
These two sapphires need to connect differently this time,
in a way we're not seeing.
So we have our what and our how. And we certainly know why.
Maybe this represents a where? Could it be a clue to a location?
What about a temple or maybe where Henry Kim found it?
What kind of dragon did you say that was?
Uh...
Henry said Shenlong, I think?
Yeah, the dragon God. King of the storms.
Holy shit. Storm King Mountain.
Okay, the way you're saying that sounds very important,
but we're not sure where you're talking about.
I know you can't understand this, but you could've had another cookie.
This would be the day to indulge.
Kovcheg.
[speaking Bulgarian]
Kovcheg?
[speaking Bulgarian]
- The ark? - [Marko] Da.
- Can you stay with him? - Yeah. Go. Go.
Kovcheg. It doesn't just mean "coffin."
It also means ark.
Noah's Ark.
I was just about to say I threw a piece of Noah's Ark fragment
into the fissure at the base of Storm King Mountain.
- Do you know what was inside of it? - Sapphire!
The Calling said two sapphires had to connect,
but it didn't say which two.
And that ark piece was unearthed from Mount Ararat when the plane returned.
As if reaching out after thousands of years.
Cal, you don't need Angelina to fulfill your Calling.
I need the driftwood.
Okay, uh, let's tell Vance
we need shovels, pickaxes, uh, flashlights, camping gear.
We're going on a treasure hunt.
[suspenseful music plays]
Looks like the right place.
Yeah, I never thought I'd be back here again.
[Olive] Oh my God.
Cal.
Is the fissure the same shape as your dragon scar?
It's definitely not a coincidence.
All right.
Let's get digging.
You're sure we're doing this right?
[Jared] I mean, it's like steel.
[Cal] Stop.
It's not time yet. We're... We're supposed to wait.
[sighs] For what?
I'll know it when it happens.
[mysterious music plays]
All right, let's set up camp.
It's gonna be dark soon. We need to be ready.
Eden!
Come on, baby.
You left early.
Sensed you may be having doubts about Angelina.
You sensed my stomach growling.
There is good in you.
Eagan, you helped me when you didn't have to,
and I talked to your parents.
I know you mended your relationship with them.
In fact, your mom gave me something to give you.
You are capable of redemption
if you choose it.
Damn it. I can't believe you played the parent card.
When it comes down to it, you're a good guy.
And, Eagan, it has come right down to it. So tell me what spooked you.
You asked Angelina where her ark was.
I know exactly where it is.
What? How?
Remember when Angie's mom went full Joan Crawford on you?
Hard to forget.
I let Saanvi play Dr. Frankenstein on me to try to induce a Calling to find you.
Did it work?
That's not the point.
While I was there,
I overheard Saanvi talking to Olive about a piece of wood.
Not just any wood. A piece of Noah's Ark.
It was imbued with sapphire.
And I tossed it into the fissure.
You're not gonna tell Angelina, are you?
I should. That sapphire she has...
I held it once.
I could feel its power.
If anything can save me, it can.
You tell Angelina about that piece of Noah's Ark,
you might save your ass.
But you could doom everyone else.
Thing is, Adrian...
I really like my ass.
All this time, I thought throwing the ark away was a huge mistake.
Maybe it was the exact right thing.
Keeping it safe until we were ready.
[exhales]
[voice breaking] You never gave up on me.
All of you.
You're my family.
And I don't know how I would've been able to get through this without you.
[emotional music plays]
828 ride or die.
Always.
[sighs]
What do you think the fissure looking like my scar means?
Well, if the Callings have taught me anything by now,
it's that we have to trust that they'll reveal what we need to know
when we need to know it.
Yeah, I just hope when it does, that I do what's needed.
That it's enough. I'm enough.
You're not a dragon.
Or a savior or some Holy Grail.
You're Cal Stone.
[emotional music plays]
You don't need a totem to tell you that you're enough.
You already are.
I'm scared, Dad.
I know, buddy.
Me too.
But we got each other.
Hey.
Hi. Can I ask you something?
- What are you still doing here? - Saving the world. What are you doing?
- Don't think it's time to take a day off? - What the hell are you talking about?
Go to Florida.
To Estelle, the boys. Hug them, jump in the pool with them.
Just go be with them.
You've done enough to help me, my family, the passengers,
the whole world!
You owe it to yourself. To them.
Go.
Guess this is goodbye, then.
I prefer, "until next time."
[Eagan] I need to tell you something.
I'm leaving.
What?
[Eagan] Sorry. I'd say, "It's not you. It's me."
But it's totally you.
[tense music plays]
No! Eagan! Eagan, you're my husband.
You promised to be by my side. I...
I can save you.
Turns out I'm willing to take a risk that maybe I can save myself
and a few others along the way.
Consider this an annulment.
You can't leave me!
I am chosen, and I chose you!
For once in my life, I'm not taking the easy route.
Sorry, Red.
You've written your own death sentence!
Tomorrow, you will die slowly and horribly!
You two are both in. And so help me,
God will show me the ark and punish those who betray me.
Wanna make a wager on who can collect the most firewood?
You're the most competitive person I know. Go!
Cheater!
[Ben laughs]
- [grunts] It's kind of creepy back there. - Chicken!
Ben.
[chuckles] Oh my God.
We carved that when we were kids.
We were bird-watching with Mom and Dad, and she wanted us to be cocaptains.
It's like she knew.
Like she was preparing us for this journey, this moment.
She was preparing us to lead...
together.
All good things.
Damn, Drea. Look at this spread.
Look, my mom's biggest nightmare is running out of food at any function.
Guess it rubbed off.
Can't imagine a bigger nightmare than your Death Date being tomorrow.
[clears throat]
[chuckles] Wow, TJ. Way to bring the room down.
Um, okay, Saanvi. What are you gonna do on Monday?
Monday, like, day after tomorrow Monday? June 3rd, 2024 Monday?
That's... That's the one.
Oh, gosh. I hadn't thought about it, but now that I'm being put on the spot,
I guess I really wanna finish my dissertation on pediatric cancer.
Wow. And I thought finishing reading The Shining was a lofty goal.
[chuckles]
I'm finally gonna beat Mick at Bananagrams.
- [Michaela] Dream on! - [Jared] Yeah! Dream on is right!
- I was thinking maybe I'd have a baby. - Aw.
Have you thought of a name yet?
Yeah. Hope. It kind of just happened.
And if genetics is any indication,
this baby is going to be stubborn as hell.
Well, as long as she has your ability to build furniture, I'm good.
And you're not too shabby of a listener. So that'd be a bonus.
Not to mention your strength, resilience, loyalty.
Well, with you two as parents, that's gonna be one very lucky kid.
[quietly] Thanks.
All right, I think I'm gonna go lay down.
I could use a little rest. Tomorrow's a big day.
Just used Drea's phone to check in on Dad. He's doing quite well at Chez Vasquez.
[Olive laughs]
You ever regret taking a later flight?
I don't know.
Life would've been a lot easier.
But it also wouldn't have been as eye-opening.
I wouldn't have met a lot of people. I wouldn't have met--
Zeke.
Yeah.
[emotional music plays]
What about you?
I would've gone with Grace.
Then you wouldn't have had Eden.
Somehow or another, Eden would find a way to us.
What's meant to be will be.
Yeah.
[Ben] Eden Beden! Love you.
[owl hooting]
- Hey. - [Ben] Hey.
We never really got much of a chance to talk about...
- Yeah. - Yeah.
You know...
I never thought I'd be as close to anyone in my life as I am to my family.
But then you came into my life.
And as great as last night was...
I don't think I'll ever get over Grace.
It's not fair to you.
My heart's still with Alex.
Even if we were to survive the Death Date and nothing would change with her, but...
I just still can't help but love her.
So you may not be my end game, Ben Stone, but...
I'll always have mad love for you.
Same.
[sentimental music plays]
All right, well, here's to saving the world.
You know, even if we do save the world tomorrow, will anyone even know?
Or will things just go back to being how they were
with us being locked up and hated?
After all that we've done in the past five and a half years...
you think that's gonna be enough?
I don't know.
I don't know what goes on the scales or what the divine wants from us.
I just hope the good is enough to outweigh the bad.
But why us?
Why Flight 828?
Why did 827, 829 get a pass?
My guess is there isn't anything special about us.
We're just a bunch of random people. Some good, some bad.
A statistical sample
for a divine experiment.
We always say it's all connected, but the truth is
we are all connected to each other.
Everyone on that plane. Everyone in the world.
We just forget.
Might've been easier to walk off the plane with a note that said,
"Be good to each other, or else."
[chuckles]
Hmm.
I don't think the Callings forced us to do good.
I think they gave us a chance to choose it.
And they tried to explain it in the best way we would understand.
Bottom line, we're all just supposed to do our part.
[Michaela] For now, I think we rest.
For tomorrow, for...
who knows what?

Hey, got you that hot cocoa.
I even put the tiny marshmallows in there you love.
[zipping tent]
[sighs]
You never asked me why I got on the later flight.
Why do I feel like you're about to tell me?
It was to stall.
I think deep down, I knew that you proposed
because you really wanted to help me through the Evie drama.
Doesn't mean I didn't love you, Michaela.
I still do.
Look, whatever tomorrow brings...
I think you and I both know we envision different futures for ourselves.
Those are things we can compromise on.
[voice breaking] I would never ask you to compromise on your happiness, Jared.
Mmm.
Especially when everything you need is one tent over.
Wherever you go is where I wanna be, do you understand that?
Okay?
Your sense of loyalty is a blessing and a curse.
These last few months have been great,
but as we were sitting around the campfire,
I saw the way you and Drea looked at each other.
And I just... I knew.
And I think that if you're being honest with yourself,
your heart wants and needs to be with her too.
I love you, Mick.
I love you.
And I know that you don't love me any less
if you go live the life you're supposed to.
The one you deserve and need.
That's with your baby and Drea, with your family.
[emotional music plays]
- [unzipping tent] - [sniffles]
[unzipping tent]
Hey, what are you up to?
Uh, I'm just coming to say good night.
You're not gonna sleep in here?
I know.
- I know. - Oof.
Do you hear that?
Hear what?
It's so peaceful.
[owl hooting]
You know, your Aunt Mick and I have been here before?
Yeah. When we were kids.
With Grandma Karen and Grandpa Steve.
And why are you telling me this now?
I totally forgot until Mick and I went to look for firewood.
Mom would always take us to campsites
on one of her wacky bird-watching trips.
There's gotta be hundreds of slides tucked away in Beverly's attic somewhere.
If only we--
It's not if.
It's when.
When we survive this thing,
we're gonna go through every single one of those slides.
Together.
We're gonna make it, Dad.
I just know it.
My eternal optimist.
You always find
possibility and hope,
even when everyone else is ready to give up.
I don't know how to thank you.
You can thank me by taking me to fly glider planes at Bethesda Fountain.
I wouldn't miss that for the world.
[foreboding music plays]
[unzipping tent]
[mystical whirring]
It's all connected.
Cal, what are you doing?
I have to go, Dad.
No, I'm not losing you again.
[sobs] No.
It's all right.
You said it yourself.
We all have to do our part, and this is mine.
My part to save the passengers, to... to help tip the scales.
There's gotta be another way.
It's okay, Dad.
I know what we need to do now.
Please have faith in me... in all of this.
I love you.
Thank you for being my dad.
[Ben] I love you.
My beautiful boy.
Love you always.

Cal...
Dear Lord, I pray for your guidance.
Please, please tell me what to do next.
