Manifest Season 3, Episode 3 Recap: Wingman
By Maria Alicia
In the previous episode of Manifest, the news about the tailfin has just broken. What is this going to do for the returned?
We begin by seeing that Vance has been recovered from Cuba. He is being interrogated by the NSA, but he isn’t giving them any information. How did he end up there? Did Ben mess up?
The rest of the group is in the Stone garage. They are talking about the Major and what she knew before she went missing. Ben and Michaela then argue about the methheads and what they are capable of.
Meanwhile, Grace and Cal are still in hiding.
Manifest Season 3 Episode 3: What callings are coming today?
Cal is walking through the woods and comes across a calling of a peacock. It is also not the first peacock they have seen. Ben then also has a calling and sees a man on the ground. He then picks up a news article of a chess player named Eagan. He is wondering what Eagan has to do with everything.
Michaela is in interrogation with Pete. He thinks finding Angelina was fate, but Michaela doesn’t want to hear it. She only wants to know where Jace and Kory are.
Cal calls Olive about the calling and she tells Cal about Angelina’s calling that also had peacock feathers in it.
Ben is now walking through the park to talk to Eagan. Eagan is playing chess and openly admits to knowing about the callings. Ben says that he thinks he needs Eagan’s help to find a kid from the callings.
Jared goes to visit Saanvi at work and asks her about the Major, but Saanvi says that she knows nothing. When Jared leaves, Saanvi texts Vance to meet her. We know what happened. What will happen when the truth comes out?
Eagan and Ben sit down in the park to talk about their combined calling. Eagan has a photographic memory and can recall every moment of it. Ben then gets a call from Michaela, a man named Glen is dead.
Meanwhile, in the woods, Grace and her brother are watching the news. Cal tells his uncle that he saw a peacock, but he doesn’t believe him and calls him a liar to Grace. This doesn’t sit well with Grace.
In New York, Olive and Angelina walk into a lab and ask to look at some of the artifacts. But they are told that they can only watch and not touch.
Ben and Eagan are still going through the callings and what they mean. They figure out that the building has to be a museum by the water and Eagan now knows where they have to go.
Vance is still being interrogated and has supposedly been there for a few days. He gets up and is ready to leave. What can they do to him?
Manifest Season 3 Episode 3: Will Ben and Eagen figure out their calling?
Eagan and Ben make their way to a museum storage area. They try to sneak in via an air vent.
Michaela is with Zeke at Beverly’s, Michaela’s childhood friend’s house. Beverly’s husband, Glen, has died. But Michaela keeps feeling these heartbeats. They lead her to DVDs of Michaela and her childhood best friend. She puts them on, but Zeke notices one that says “for Michaela.” What is on it?
Olive and Angelina are allowed to get their hands on some artifacts in the lab. The first thing they see is a peacock feather. Olive calls Cal and asks him about the peacock feather, but Cal doesn’t know what it means.
Ben and Eagan make it inside the building and go to storage room number 601, which is the number they saw on the calling. But no one is there. They figure out that the number was upside down and they have to go to room 109.
Michaela puts the DVD into the player and it is Glen telling Michaela that he has set up an assistive living home for Beverly and then he gives Michaela the house.
Ben and Eagan make it to room 109. They figured out that a gas line must have burst. They find the man but he isn’t breathing. They are able to get him out, but Eagan insists on going to turn the gas off.
Michaela and Zeke now have to move Beverly out of the house, but she doesn’t understand because she has Alzheimer’s. Beverly continues to get angry and this feeling comes over Zeke. He is able to calm her down. Could this be a residual side effect of the callings?
Beverly takes out a necklace that says “brave.” That word triggers Michaela to remembering something that Pete talked about.
In the lab, Olivia and Angelina talk about their peacock discovery. They think the feather is there to judge them. Michaela calls Olive and asks about Angelina.
Michaela brings Angelina in to see Pete. Angelina tells Pete that she thinks the peacock is a sign. She thinks that she is supposed to save Pete. Pete tells Angelina about the voice that said “Go to her.”
Manifest Season 3 Episode 3: Will Ben complete his calling?
In the museum warehouse, Ben is trying to get out as fast as he can, but things are falling all around him. Will Ben and Eagan get out in time?
Ben gets the boy out and he sees Eagan gets out as well. Only, Eagan is in a rush to get away and not have to talk to anyone.
In the precinct, Sarah Fitz, the Major’s daughter, shows up. Jared tells her a little bit more about her mother’s job. Sarah still wants them to continue to search for her and Jared agrees.
Finally, Vance is told he could go and that the NSA wants him to come back to work. They tell him that Fitz has been dead for a few months and they offer him the 828 files. Vance says no, but they might have something to change his mind.
Ben returns the boy back to his mom. Turns out that the boy that Ben saved is Kory’s brother.
Michaela and Zeke are trying to get Beverly squared away. Only the heartbeats are still weighing on Michaela. Michaela then says that Beverly isn’t going anywhere and that she and Zeke are going to take care of her.
Ben meets Olive at the lab on the campus. Ben mentions how Eagan is good at the callings, but that Ben doesn’t trust him. Ben and Olive look at the canvas that she and Angelina have been working on and see that there is a piece missing.
Eagan goes to a pawn shop. He has Ben’s ID Card and is pawning off things, as Ben. Turns out Eagan also has the missing canvas piece.
Cal is outside and stumbles upon a peacock feather. He sends a video to Olive of their treasure hunt saying, but everyone else hears it as a calling.
Vance is now seeing what the NSA has about 828. But we don’t. What is it? What information do they have?
