Due mostly to Holiday busyness and only a little to my supreme laziness there will not be full recaps for a few episodes, but please enjoy my bullet point thoughts on this episode of Manifest in lieu of a full write up!

  • Ben is a nightmare of a partner
  • It’s so hard to throw your husband a surprise bbq when he’s fighting the NSA in secret
  • Oh snap…what happened to this new lady?!
    • Autumn Cox feels like a fake name
    • Oh shit was she getting tested?
  • I don’t think Ben is going to make it home for his surprise bbq
  • “Neuroscience is an arms race” I mean I guess Saanvi but that seems pretty intense
  • Oh man…Ben just told Vance about the “callings” and I’m certain he’s going to die
  • Ben is so dumb – I mean he’s right but he’s so bad at planning and being patient
  • I have a hope that these “subjects” will all tie their brains together and take down this conspiracy from the inside
  • Vance’s reactions to everything are so great
  • Oooh! Cal’s drawing the place where they’re being held and his nose is bleeding!
  • Fiona was on the plane right? I thought she was on the plane but now I’m not so sure
  • LOL I don’t think Ben even knows he got fired
  • I mean there’s gotta be a basement or something right?
    • Or a second location I guess?
    • Cal what the fuck?!
  • I mean will it placate Grace at all if Ben gets a job with the NSA after this?
  • Hah! It is a basement!
  • Oh shit are they just killing everyone?! That is an aggressive protocol
  • Fiona! If she got electrocuted to death I’m going to be very upset
  • Jared’s showing up with the sucker punches like a pro
  • Oh I’m not sure about Fiona’s “they’ll be safe with me”
  • Well RIP the bad guy at least!
    • Jared does not look to be in great shape though
  • OH good Grace is overreacting some more about things she didn’t want to know about
  • Ugh I knew it RIP Vance…I’m super annoyed.
    • Although we didn’t see him die so I suspect it’s a coverup of some kind
  • Melissa Roxburgh is so great
  • While I am glad that Grace and Ben are breaking up it does feel pretty out of nowhere for Grace to be having all these feelings
    • Oh she also does not understand how to care for Cal at this point. She’s making bad decisions
  • Yeah I should have known this bitch was doing something shady still
    • Also why is she like walmart brand Grace?
