What about that season finale for Manifest!?! NBC has a very hot series on their hands if they don't screw it up like they absolutely did with Timeless. Could they? Oh yeah...
Passengers on Montego Flight 828 disappear and return home 5 years later. The problem is they haven't aged but the rest of the world has moved on. Creator Jeff Rake brings a warm sense of family to a complex conspiracy theory. Yet, unlike Timeless, there's not a hint of humor to be found here to break the tension.
Melissa Roxburgh plays the tough but tender Detective Michaela Stone, who with her brother Ben and nephew Cal (Josh Dallas and Jack Messina, respectively) were aboard the ill-fated flight. Upon their return, Ben's wife Grace (Athena Karkanis) struggles, and Michaela's fiancee Jared (J.R. Ramirez) has turmoil all his own.
After five years lost, Mom is now dead and gone, leaving adult children Michaela and Ben to constantly ponder their parent's favorite quote, "All things work together for good". It's right from the Bible's book of Romans. The whole quote is "And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose". What chapter and verse in Romans? 8:28, of course.
