The episode begins by introducing the Stone family. It’s April 7, 2013 and Ben and his wife, Grace, are with their twins Olive and Cal at the airport. Ben’s sis- ter Michaela narrates the events as she also waits to board a plane. Michaela and Ben’s parents relax in the boarding area, giving Michaela a hard time about her boyfriend, Jared, and the fact she doesn’t want to get married right now. Michaela also lets viewers in on the scoop that Cal has leukemia and his parents are desperate to find a treat- ment that might help halt the disease’s progress. She also confesses she has nightmares about a car accident. 3 Manifest Episode Guide The flight’s overbooked and Michaela, Ben, and Cal agree to take a later flight sincethe airline’s offering $400 to each person who will give up their seat. That decision changes the course of their lives. During the flight, Ben tries to convince his sister she deserves to be happy. He believesshe should marry Jared and move on with her life. The tranquil flight is interrupted by severe turbu- lence causing a loss of altitude and the lights to briefly go out. Just as suddenly as the turbulence arrived, it clears up and the plane’s back to flying smoothly. The pilot explains the severe turbulence was the result of a weather surge that appeared without any warning. A while later the pilot calls air traffic to alert them they’re on approach. The air traffic con- troller seems confused by the transmission from flight 828. The plane’s diverted to an alternate airport. The usual clapping accompanies the landing, however no one can receive cell service. The plane’s met by dozens of emergency vehicles and the passengers are forced to deplane on the tarmac. Michaela finally asks for an explanation and the passengers are told their flight departed Montego Bay Jamaica in 2013. It’s now November 4, 2018. They’ve been presumed dead for five and a half years. While waiting in a tent to be examined, Cal wonders why he’s still alive if it’s been five years. They all admit they don’t look or feel five years older. The passengers and crew are interviewed on camera and they all share the same story. There was turbulence but they never landed anywhere during what they believe was a short flight. 36 hours later the passengers are finally allowed to reunite with their loved ones. Olive has aged five years while Cal’s been gone and is no longer the same age as her twin. Calfreaks out over this development. Michaela and Ben learn their mother died while they were gone, and Michaela breaks down in her father’s arms. Michaela settles in at Ben’s place because she no longer has her apartment. Grace assures her she can stay as long as she likes, but it’s obvious Michaela believes she’s a bad person who doesn’t deserve to be around the kids. Grace explains, "The universe just gave all of us a do-over. Everything that came before goes out the window." The authorities go over the possessions of the passengers with a fine-tooth comb. They don’t discover anything dated between April 7, 2013 and November 4, 2018. They also realize no one on the plane aged a day so no explanation can be ruled out. Michaela returns to the police station where she used to work and discovers she still has a job, although they didn’t expect her in so soon given what happened. She stares at Jared and the two step outside to talk. After a little small talk, Jared reveals he’s now a detective and a lot has changed in the five years she’s been gone and presumed dead. She notices he’s wearinga wedding ring and asks about his wife. It turns out he married one of Michaela’s friends. He tries to explain he waited two years before even dating, but Michaela can’t handle it and leaves. Meanwhile, Ben and Grace take Cal to see his doctor and she’s amazed his levels haven’t changed at all. She’s able to deliver the good news there’s a game-changing new pediatric trial he qualifies for. The odds of surviving have gone from near zero in 2013 to excellent in 2018.Grace believes everything about this situation is a miracle. While Michaela shops for supplies and clothing, she hears a reporter discussing the case of missing sisters Samantha and Hailey who were abducted from their backyard. Jared’s the detective on the case. Taking the bus home from shopping, she hears a voice in her head repeating the word "slower." She asks the bus driver to slow down, but he snaps at her and refuses. She finally screams, "Slow down now!" and he slams on his brakes in time to avoid running over a small child chasing a ball into the street. Back at Ben’s place, the confused siblings have a talk. Michaela admits she heard her own voice talking to her in her head. Ben doesn’t understand but thinks it might be that she’s losing her mind. He wants her to keep it a secret as the government might still be monitoring them. Nearly halfway through the first episode we finally pick up the story of a passenger not related to the Stones. Saanvi Bahl is welcomed back to work with a huge celebration, and she learns her cell regeneration model she researched five years ago actually works. They’ve been usingit to treat pediatric cancer patients for 30 months and it’s saved hundreds of sick kids. 4 Manifest Episode Guide Ben and Grace are out shopping with Cal, attempting to act like a normal family once again. Grace explains Olive has been in therapy for years because of what happened. Fortunately, most of her issues are now resolved. Michaela’s out for a jog when she passes a facility with two German Shepherds that startle her when they begin barking. They’re behind a chain-link fence and once again she hears her voice inside her head.
