Netflix’s Manifest season four episode three opens with Eden – quite the little artist – experiencing a Calling. Meanwhile, Ben (Josh Dallas) begs the police to reopen Eden’s case with no success.

Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) is with Ben in the attic when she experiences a Calling. Thunder roars but Ben doesn’t share the experience. Ben insists the thunder has nothing to do with Eden and is determined to follow “real world” clues to find his missing child.

Cal (Ty Doran) snaps a photo of his new dragon-shaped scar to send to Saanvi. Olive (Luna Blaise) says it looks badass and she thinks he’d make a cool dragon. Cal reminds her he disappeared, came back five years older, and has no memories of what happened. “That doesn’t sound too dragon-y to me,” says Cal.

Cal and Olive share a nursery rhyme and Cal recalls he was teaching it to Eden right before she disappeared. Michaela joins the siblings, and she and Cal hear thunder. Saanvi (Parveen Kaur) texts with a request for Cal to come to the Bird’s Nest, and he takes off as Jared (J.R. Ramirez) arrives to help Ben with Eden’s new lead.

Ben explains Angelina was hiding out at Anna Ross’s house and Jared thinks they need to call on the Registry for help in the search. NYPD won’t help since they think she’s dead.

Cal and Saanvi listen to the black box and confirm the new voices are reciting Callings. Saanvi and Cal realize they need to figure out what was happening on Flight 828 at the exact moment these 6.2 seconds of the ultra-low frequency (ULF) voices were recorded.

Michaela meets Drea (Ellen Tamaki) and while they’re talking Michaela finally admits she knows Drea and Jared are sleeping together. Michaela’s fine with it, but Drea wants her to keep it to herself for now.

Jared and Ben join Drea and Michaela outside the Registry, and Drea explains they’re going to act like Ben was hauled in for questioning.

Once inside, Michaela has the thunder Calling again and spots 828’s co-pilot, Amuta. The lightning is focused on him.

Drea, Jared, and Ben look at a report made by a librarian who saw a woman and a child that could be Angelina and Eden. Angelina was spotted by Anna Ross’s house, and they decide it’s worth checking out the report.

Michaela confronts Amuta outside the Registry and learns he’s now a private jet pilot. She wonders why they’re sharing a Calling, but Amuta refuses to talk to her and takes off. He’s got a flight scheduled and doesn’t have time to chat.

Ben, Michaela, and Jared head to the library and Ben agrees to let them do the talking. He has a Calling of ashes falling and a figure standing in front of an active volcano. In prison, Eagan experiences the same Calling.

The librarian identifies Angelina as the woman she saw and explains the hair dye in the bathroom concerned her. She describes the child as sweet and shows off a drawing of a flower Eden did for her. The librarian also agrees to let them take the computer Angelina used to have NYPD forensics check it out.

Michaela visits the Bird’s Nest and Cal and Saanvi fill her in on the black box’s recordings of all the Callings. The six seconds on the tape was during the time lightning hit the plane and thunder roared. Michaela thinks that’s why she’s experiencing thunder and lightning.

They need to talk to Amuta and Vance helps Michaela get Amuta’s license temporarily suspended. The report they’re filing lists the Bird’s Nest address as the contact point.

Saanvi takes some of Cal’s new scar to test while they discuss the ULFs. Amuta rushes in, angry they’ve put his job at risk. He finally calms down when Michaela promises to fix his flight if he listens to the black box.

Amuta listens but then quickly demands they stop playing the recording. He blames himself for everything that happened since he could have told the pilot to fly over the storm, not through it. Saanvi begs him to listen to what they found buried under the recording, and Amuta’s shocked to hear all the Callings on the tape.

Amuta reveals that during those 6.2 seconds they all died. The lightning was repeatedly striking the plane and then all the lightning combined into a huge ball of light that they flew right into. “There’s no way we could have survived,” says Amuta. He adds, “I felt overwhelmed by a sense of peace – a calm I’d never experienced before.”

The passengers didn’t see the light, but he and Daly did. Daly disappeared and they have no clue where he currently is. Amuta reveals Daly was obsessed with going back and trying to feel that sense of peace again. Daly begged Amuta to join him, but he refused.

Both Amuta and Michaela have deep regrets and feelings of guilt over failing someone they cared about.

Amuta explains he’s distanced himself from the passengers because he and Daly are the only ones who saw the light. Cal corrects him – he also saw the ball of white light. Cal remembers thinking everything made sense when he saw the light a little before the turbulence hit. Amuta suddenly realizes the storm was chasing them; they couldn’t have avoided it no matter what they did.

Amuta explains he and Daly would often discuss the calm and confusion after the brightness. They called it the long, delirious, burning blue. The phrase sends Cal into a Calling about when he touched the plane’s tail fin. He was on the plane with Daly and Daly asked him, “Why go back?” Cal replied, “My mom. Something’s happened to her. She’s hurt.”

Daly warned him he’d forget everything he saw if he went back, and Cal went anyway. Fiona appeared and told him he already had the answer, and that it was okay to go back.

Amuta’s flight status is restored, and he reluctantly admits he’s glad they grounded him.

Elsewhere, Adrian’s taken over a boarding house and it’s now a safe haven for 828ers. There’s a noise upstairs and Adrian makes an excuse before checking on Angelina. He reminds her she has to be quiet since no one knows she’s there. They wouldn’t understand why he’s helping her.

Adrian wants her gone as quickly as possible.

Back at home, Ben’s alone in his attic when suddenly a drawing of a flower appears on the ceiling.

Eden’s drawing the flower when Angelina stops her to play a mind-reading game. Eden draws an X as part of this test to see if she’s reading Angelina’s mind, and the X appears on Ben’s ceiling. That’s not what Angelina drew and Angelina’s getting frustrated.

Eden draws another X and this time fills in a circle in the center of it. Ben uses chalk to trace the drawings, so they’ll remain on his ceiling. (He didn’t do this with the flower and it vanished.)

She draws spiders and Angelina crumples the drawing, angry that Eden isn’t even trying.

Olive has a flashback of her dad refusing to listen to her and telling her to leave when she tried to help find Eden. She shakes off the memory as she brings lunch to her dad in the attic. Ben’s busy tracing the drawings on the ceiling and Olive doesn’t understand what he’s doing. She begs him to stop and then suddenly takes a good look at all the designs.

“X marks the spot, circle with a dot, spiders crawling up your back…” says Olive, describing what she sees. She then explains that she and Cal were singing that this very morning. For the first time, Olive can actually feel Eden and knows she’s alive.

Ben and Olive realize Eden’s drawing her Callings, just like Cal used to do. Olive suggests Ben draw something and see if Eden copies it. Eden giggles as she writes “dad.”

Angelina is spooked and knows Ben’s communicating with his daughter. She reminds Eden she doesn’t have a dad and throws the plate Eden drew on.

Jared visits Drea at the Registry and admits he doesn’t know how she handles working there. She reminds him he’s gone undercover before, but Jared thinks this is a much worse situation. Drea’s willing to do whatever it takes to help the 828ers, even if that requires her to work for the Registry.

Adrian meets with Eagan in prison, looking for help on what to do about Angelina. Adrian’s concerned about Angelina’s behavior and describes how she aggressively crumpled a paper with Eden’s drawing. Adrian wonders if he should turn her in and Eagan suggests it’s possible Angelina will implicate him in Grace’s murder.

Adrian didn’t tell her to kill someone, but he did tell her she needed to get her guiding angel. Eagan thinks the best thing Adrian can do now is keep Angelina hidden at the compound.

Adrian returns to the boarding house and tells Angelina she can stay.

Jared didn’t find anything useful in the computer searches, and Olive assures her dad they’ll find Eden. Ben’s come around to believing the Callings might save her after all.

Michaela and Ben have a heart-to-heart chat and she admits she can’t save the passengers by herself. She misses her co-pilot. Michaela doesn’t want him to give up his search for Eden, but after they find her, she needs her co-pilot back.

The episode ends with Eagan calling Ben and telling him he knows where Eden is right now.

Manifest Season 4 Episode 2 Recap — Melissa Roxburgh as Michaela Stone and J.R. Ramirez as Jared Vasquez in ‘Manifest’ season 4 episode 2 (Photo Credit: Peter Kramer © Netflix 2022)

Grace’s funeral opens Netflix’s Manifest season four episode two, with the flashback showing Cal standing apart from the group. At this point, no one knows he’s aged, and he can only stand behind the group and sob rather than join his family in their grief.

Fast-forward to current events and Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) and Zeke’s morning chitchat over breakfast concerns the Registry and how often Michaela’s being forced to check-in. Cal (Ty Doran) joins them and looks like he hasn’t slept in days. Michaela assures him they love him and are ready to support him however he needs.

Michaela leaves, and now it’s Saanvi’s turn to join the group. Saanvi (Parveen Kaur) reveals the black box recording includes Capt. Daly crying for help during the turbulence. It’s the same thing that was heard two years ago at Eureka and they have no idea how that’s possible.

Saanvi’s convinced she can get Ben interested in what’s happening, but she’s shocked when she sees him face-to-face in the attic. Ben (Josh Dallas) looks rough and although he’s momentarily interested in the black box, he quickly tunes it out and gets back to his obsessive hunt for Eden. Ben believes the Callings have stolen everything from him and he’s done following them.

Saanvi had no idea how closed-off Ben’s made himself.

Michaela checks in with the Registry and is questioned about a passenger who entered the country illegally via the Port of New York. Michaela claims she was nowhere near the port and doesn’t know anything about an illegal immigrant.

Drea, her ex-partner and friend (and mole on the inside of the Registry), secretly flashes her a note saying to meet at the park bench. She does as instructed and Jared (J.R. Ramirez) shows up with news NYPD is tasked with bringing Henry in. They’re tracking him but Jared’s not sure how they’re doing it. He warns Michaela to take Henry someplace safe – and not to get caught.

Cal tries to convince his dad to get interested now that they’ve got a piece of the plane back. Ben only slightly perks up when Cal reveals it was his Calling that led them to the black box. Ben’s so fixated on Eden’s return that he’s willing to go on Aaron Glover’s 828-Gate podcast to talk about his missing child.

Cal knows that’s not a good idea, but he can’t convince Ben to take a step back and think things through.

Saanvi returns to work, and Henry’s excited Vance (Daryl Edwards) has found him a safe house. Henry shows off a scar on his forearm that resembles a dragon, and explains that his father said the dragon lives inside him and makes him strong. He survived weeks at sea and two years as a lab rat, and that inner dragon helped him through it.

Henry used a breathing technique and came to believe that he and the black box were humming in sync. Inside the humming, he heard voices buried beneath the black box’s hum. He couldn’t make them out, but with Saanvi’s help that might change.

She plays the recording and Henry has her and Vance listen carefully. He hears the “voices on top of voices” again, but neither Vance nor Saanvi hear anything. Saanvi enhances the frequency and Henry notices a different machine that tracks seismic activity fires up and starts responding. Saanvi quickly works to disconnect that machine, worried they’re causing real-world damage.

A short while later Saanvi learns the machine isn’t recording seismic tremors; it’s detecting ultra-low frequency emissions that can’t be heard by the human ear.

Michaela arrives and says they need to take Henry out now, and Vance instructs Michaela to drive Henry to a safe location. Unfortunately, Michaela’s unable to get away from the cops and Henry gives himself up to save Michaela.

As he surrenders, Henry has a Calling of himself and Cal on the plane. Cal’s looking out the window at an active volcano and then turns to Henry who’s reaching out his hand.

Cal experiences the same Calling.

Michaela heads back and asks Vance to use any resource he can to retrieve Henry.

Adrian (Jared Grimes) is the next 828 passenger called into the Registry. He’s in the middle of denying anything interesting has happened to him recently when he has a quick Calling. He manages to play it off as a cold.

Ben asks Zeke (Matt Long) to use his empath skills to see if any of the callers on Aaron’s podcast have real info on Eden.

As the interview gets underway, Zeke calls Michaela to tell her what Ben’s up to. She can’t believe he’s exposing the family right now since the cops are watching them because of Henry. Michaela also confesses it was Jared who told her Henry was about to be scooped up by the NYPD.

Jared is still a touchy subject since Michaela confessed after Grace’s funeral that she still has feelings for him. However, she will always choose Zeke – she loves him that deeply.

Cal arrives with news about the Calling and is adamant that he meets with Henry. He knows Henry was trying to tell him something but not what he was attempting to say.

Cal listens to the radio as Ben begs for help on Aaron’s podcast. Aaron asks about Cal and Ben stumbles through a reply that he’s focusing on his three-year-old daughter. Ben says Cal made a choice to run away while Eden’s an innocent victim.

Michaela assures Cal that Ben’s just trying to protect him.

Vance learns where Henry’s locked up and since they can’t break him out, they’re going to break Cal in.

Angelina (Holly Taylor) and Eden arrive at a new hideout which turns out to be a trap.

Michaela and Cal make it to the Registry and Cal has strict instructions on what to do to see Henry. He’ll have two minutes, tops.

Cal pretends he’s reporting something on an 828er and then quickly makes his way to where Henry’s being examined. Drea gets rid of the person watching Henry and Cal uses his alone time to learn everything he can. Henry believes Cal has everything he needs right now and that his own journey is complete. He’s had numerous Callings about Cal and now has faith Cal can do what’s necessary to complete this journey.

“You’re a dragon, Cal, just like me,” says Henry.

Cal doesn’t understand but Henry assures him he will.

Zeke didn’t get anything off of the callers and suggests Ben has room in his heart for his whole family. Ben doesn’t want to hear it and rushes off when Aaron calls about a woman who reached out with Angelina’s location. Zeke goes with him.

Ben and Zeke follow the lead and it brings them to within a few hundred yards of Anna’s house. Ben knows she has a security camera and Anna seems helpful but claims the camera’s not real. Zeke senses she’s lying and nervous, and Anna finally confesses she hid Angelina for a while. Angelina manipulated her and told her awful things about Ben. Anna confirms Eden is alive, but she doesn’t know where they are now.

Anna shows Ben the room Angelina used and some of Eden’s toys are on the floor. Ben also spots drawings Eden made, including one of a windmill. Zeke’s able to experience Ben’s overwhelming emotions as Ben hugs a piece of clothing Eden left behind.

Adrian’s Calling leads him to Refuge Acres where Angelina and Eden are currently being held captive. He spots a boarded-up window and rips away the wood. Angelina and Eden sneak out the window and escape.

Adrian drives Angelina and Eden away from the building and a short while later he stops the car to have it out with Angelina. She claims he’s the one who told her to get her guardian angel and that’s why she kidnapped Eden. Adrian can’t believe she thought he meant to kill Grace and take Eden, but Angelina’s convinced it was the only way she could get her guardian angel. Angelina’s certain it was the right decision since Eden’s Calling led Adrian to them.

Michaela calls Drea to thank her minutes before Drea gets into bed with Jared. And speaking of romance, Zeke intercepts Michaela on her way home and delivers a kiss and says he has everything he wants. He also believes there’s room in Michaela’s heart for everyone lucky enough to be loved by her – including Jared.

He holds her tight as they look up at the stars.

They return home and Michaela’s ecstatic that Ben’s confirmed Eden’s alive. She even joins him in the attic to work on the new clues.

Cal’s in his room when suddenly Henry’s dragon-shaped scar appears on his forearm.

Saanvi’s alone listening to the black box recording when she does as Henry suggested. She takes a deep breath and mediates, connecting to the recording. She hears a jumble of voices including one that says, “Don’t worry, angel.” The rest of the voices are reciting Callings, and she even hears Ben and Cal say, “It’s all connected.”

Manifest Season 4 Episode 1 Recap — Matt Long, Melissa Roxburgh, Ty Doran, Luna Blaise, and Josh Dallas in ‘Manifest’ season 4 episode 1 (Photo Credit: Netflix © 2022)

Manifest series creator Jeff Rake will finally have the opportunity to answer all the lingering questions with the much-anticipated fourth – and final – season, premiering on Netflix on November 4, 2022. Viewership numbers for seasons one and two on the streaming service were so impressive that Netflix executives made Manifest fans’ dreams come true by granting the canceled series one final season.

Season four is divided into two parts, with the first 10 episodes arriving on Nov. 4th. The final 10 episodes will follow in 2023.

Manifest season four episode one picks up two years after Angelina (Holly Taylor) murdered Ben’s wife, Grace (Athena Karkanis), and kidnapped their baby, Eden. The story also picks up with Cal, who aged five years during the season three finale, now seven years older and still very confused about what’s happened to him. Plus, he’s shouldering the blame for allowing Angelina back in the house, a decision that got his mother killed and nearly destroyed his family.

Rake teased this season will be more event-filled, given that he’d originally planned to tell the story in six seasons. He has also promised our questions will be answered.

“It’s going to become increasingly clear to the passengers that the ‘callings’ are somehow divinely sourced and this is not just about them,” said Rake in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum. “This is either a gift or a burden — an opportunity to wake up the world and realize that it is all connected and that we all need to be better if we want to keep living in this world.”

And now the recap of season four episode one:

An elderly man escapes being experimented on in Shanghai Province, China, as “Touch-and-Go” begins.

Our first look at Ben Stone (Josh Dallas) shows he’s neglected to take care of himself since Grace died. He’s grown a straggly beard and looks disheveled as he distributes flyers asking for help finding his missing baby.

He posts a flyer of Eden over a flyer asking for help locating Cal.

A flashback shows the night of Grace’s murder and Olive (Luna Blaise) telling her dad that Angelina did it and took Eden. The Stones’ house is a crime scene, and the police are searching for Angelina. Cal, now played by Ty Doran, gets a look at his suddenly older face in a rearview mirror and is understandably shocked.

Back to current events… Ben pleads with Jared (J.R. Ramirez) to run more Amber Alerts on Eden. Ben’s still holding out hope, but Jared knows the chances of finding her are slim.

Meanwhile, Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) and Zeke (Matt Long) are apparently still together because the first time we see them they’re in bed, smiling. Michaela’s been having dreams of cherry blossoms, but who cares about that when Zeke’s very kissable face is mere inches away.

Olive sits down for breakfast with Cal, who now goes by Gabriel to the outside world since it would be impossible to explain how he suddenly aged up. Michaela and Zeke briefly join them (everyone lives together) and Zeke fills us in on everyone’s work situations by explaining the “muggles” work while the 828ers have more important things on their plates.

After the muggles leave, Michaela tells her nephew he’s lucky. No one knows who “Gabriel” is, but the 828 Registry definitely knows all about her.

Cal’s bummed because his dad basically ignores him. He’s not even supposed to enter Ben’s room.

Michaela has a brief Calling of floating in water with cherry blossoms and it’s revealed Cal hasn’t had a Calling in two years. She saw blossoms, the ocean, and a freighter. She heads down to the port to try and figure out what it means while Cal stays home just in case Ben shows up.

Sporting an NYPD cap and an orange vest, Michaela snoops around the port and spots a freighter with two cherry blossoms on the side. She walks through cargo containers until she spots one with the flowers. Inside are a bunch of boxes and the elderly man from the beginning of the episode. He’s got “Stone 828” carved into his arm.

The man’s in bad shape and Michaela, with the reluctant help of two dockworkers, gets him into her car and drives off.

Over at the Bird’s Nest, a man works his way carefully and methodically through shots of the ocean looking for the missing plane, while Saanvi Bahl (Parveen Kaur) watches the Eureka footage for the umpteenth time. Robert Vance (Daryl Edwards) thinks she has better things to do, like analyzing Cal’s tests. She’s already done that, and he’s still just Cal…but bigger.

Saanvi’s been looking at this footage for 23 months and still isn’t any closer to figuring out why 828 disappeared from Eureka or where it went. Vance thinks she’s grasping at straws but Saanvi refuses to give up.

Ben makes it home and doesn’t even bother saying hi to Cal. He heads up to the attic which is filled with articles, photos, and maps relating to his search for answers. A wind blows through the attic, rustling all the papers and photos. Cal joins his dad but doesn’t feel any wind.

A photo of Anna Ross is the only one still moving and after Ben touches it, the wind stops. Anna is the interpreter who helped Cal when he got sick after making a connection with a passenger. Cal knows that means Ben should go to Anna, but Ben refuses. He’s not chasing any more Callings. Michaela can do it if she wants.

Ben’s concentrating on Eden and nothing else matters. Cal volunteers to go but Ben’s adamant he remains hidden. If someone figures out that he aged up, NSA will lock him away and make him into a human guinea pig.

Ben reluctantly gives in, reminding Cal to take his Gabriel ID.

We’re given our first glimpse at what Zeke does for a living when he’s shown counseling a man with addiction problems. He holds the man’s hand (remember, Zeke can feel what others are feeling) and tells him to stop trying to hide from his pain. It’s okay to let it out.

The man begins crying and the session ends with a hug.

Michaela drives like a bat out of hell and brings the injured stranger to Vance’s team. Saanvi immediately gets to work determining what’s wrong. It appears he’ll pull through and Vance reveals the man’s an 828er they thought was executed in Singapore two years ago. His name’s Henry Kim and he wasn’t on their radar because he’s supposed to be dead.

Michaela notes he was supposedly executed the day she quit the force.

Henry wakes up and immediately asks for Cal.

Cal drops in on Anna and introduces himself as a cousin of the Stones. He thanks her for helping Michaela save Cal and then explains Ben’s having a vision of wind blowing. He wonders if she’s experienced a similar vision, and she steps outside her home to answer. (She thinks the 828 Registry bugged her house.) Cal’s forced to reveal Ben’s not in a good place mentally or else he’d have come himself.

Anna had Callings yesterday and today and had the urge to pick up a pen and draw a windmill. She also drew gravestones and when Cal pulls up a photo of a cemetery, she confirms it matches what she drew. A text from Michaela needing his help ends his conversation with Anna.

Michaela heads home and tells Ben they think Henry’s execution was faked so China could use him as a lab rat. Michaela thinks it might be the breakthrough they’re looking for but Ben’s too distracted to listen.

She has it out with her brother, asking him not to give up on the Callings because the death date is a year and a half away. He doesn’t care. Without Eden, life’s pointless.

Michaela’s had enough and reminds him he still has a family that needs him – she includes herself in that group – and she won’t let him give up on them. When she describes his search for Eden as a pipe dream, Ben warns her not to call it that. Michaela feels like he dumped everything on her, and now it’s up to just her to save all the passengers.

“At this point, I have zero faith in the Callings saving any of us,” says Ben. Michaela asks him to consider that he might be wrong.

Cal joins them and Michaela has Ben fetch Henry’s file. Cal shares what he learned from Anna and that she’s heading to a cemetery in Ramapo to figure out what it means. Anna could use his help, but Ben doesn’t care. He thinks Michaela should handle it.

After they leave, Ben starts sobbing.

Before they can head out, Jared arrives at the door with something for Ben. (He’s happy to see Cal and teases him about his stubble.) It’s awkward between Jared and Michaela, and they slip out without talking about anything personal.

Jared joins Ben in the attic and delivers the bad news that Eden’s been legally declared dead. NYPD closed her missing person’s file and that’s why the detectives no longer return Ben’s calls. Inside the folder is Eden’s death certificate. Still, Ben refuses to believe it’s possible.

Jared reminds him Eden and Angelina’s fingerprints were found on a bridge and her backpack was found floating in the Narrows. The currents would have pulled them into the Atlantic; that’s why they never found any bodies.

Ben won’t budge. He insists Eden’s still alive.

A flashback shows the Stone family and Zeke in the frantic days after Eden went missing. It also shows the day a much older Cal returned to home. It was an emotional homecoming until Olive accused him of letting Angelina back into the house. Cal confessed he told her about the spare key.

Olive reminded him he was told not to trust Angelina and that their mom wanted her gone. He didn’t listen and now their mom’s dead and Eden’s missing. She screamed at him that it was all his fault.

Cal was an emotional wreck and only Zeke helped him get cleaned up.

Back to current events and Zeke arrives at the Bird’s Nest offering to help. He holds Henry’s hand and Henry immediately calms down. His vitals also return to normal.

Zeke leaves, claiming he has to get back to work. Once out of sight, his body is wracked with pain from touching Henry.

Henry’s able to tell Saanvi and Vance that he had a box with him that needs to get to Cal.

Back at the Stone place, the wind blows Eden’s death certificate to Ben. He finally really looks at it and sees the background is a windmill and the arms are turning. Ben’s pretty sure the cemetery Anna is visiting has something to do with Eden.

Ben races over to the cemetery and meets up with Anna. She’s not sure what the calling means or what they’re looking for. He shows her the death certificate and says he’s never been more certain that she’s alive.

The wind kicks up as they look around, and the weathervane moves to point a different direction. He’s sure this calling will lead them to Eden. They head off and Ben hears a small child calling out for “Daddy.” He races to the child and picks it up, but it’s not Eden.

The boy’s father is nearby in the river, unconscious and near death. Anna screams at Ben to save him and Ben carries him from the river.

Unfortunately, by the time Michaela and Cal get to the port Homeland Security’s already there. Cal insists that doesn’t matter; they need to find Henry’s box now.

Cal convinces Michaela he can do this by himself since Homeland Security doesn’t know who he is. Cal puts in air pods and walks way too fast toward the container. Michaela invited Vance to the operation via phone and he watches Cal through video cameras at the port. He tells Cal to stop walking because the Feds are near the container.

Jared shows up by Michaela’s car and warns her there are lots of cops on the way. A call about 828 activity went out over the scanner and the port will soon be crawling with officers. Jared can’t help her and is shocked that after six months he’s now seen her twice in one day.

He’s happy she’s happy now but wonders where Cal is.

Meanwhile, Cal’s made it into the container while Vance advises him the Feds are getting closer. Cal realizes he’s having his first Calling in years when he hears ticking that Vance doesn’t. Cal finds what’s ticking and it’s not just any box – it’s Montego Airways Flight 828’s black box!

Cal has a flashback and recalls Saanvi comforting him when his own family didn’t. He told her all the answers are on the plane and asked to be taken back to Eureka. Saanvi had to break the news the plane’s gone.

Cal returns to real-time and is smiling while holding the black box. Michaela notices he’s in a good mood for once, and he explains that for two years he’s been trying to figure out where it all went wrong. Today he had a Calling and maybe, just maybe, he has a chance to fix everything.

“It feels like the plane’s sort of come back to me now,” says Cal.

Vance and Saanvi verify it’s the exact same black box they spent years examining. They have no idea how Henry ended up with it after the plane vanished from Eureka.

Cal wonders where the plane is since the box came back. Henry calls out for him (he’s been calling Cal “boy”) and although the elderly man doesn’t open his eyes, he knows Cal’s the right boy when he holds his hand.

Ben texts Michaela that it wasn’t Eden, and Michaela and Cal head out to be with him since he’s had a really rough day.

Ben watches the injured father hold his young son tightly in the ambulance. Anna assures Ben she’ll pray for Eden.

Saanvi and Vance listen to the black box and hear a man say, “Help me!” They sync the voice recording from the black box with surveillance footage from Eureka. “The black box recording is from the original flight, so how the hell do we hear them in Eureka?”

Saanvi doesn’t know but is sure the box is back for a reason. She thinks maybe Daly the pilot is still out there somewhere.

Ben returns home and gets a big hug from Olive. Cal thought that since he had a Calling something good would happen, and Michaela points out that Ben just saved a dad from drowning. The family sits down for a talk, and Olive thinks maybe it’s time to say goodbye.

Ben confesses he still struggles to breathe since Grace is gone. He owes finding Eden to Grace. He insists he must hang onto that hope. Ben tosses Eden’s death certificate in the fire.

Anna has a Calling involving ashes. A child’s drawing of a windmill on the refrigerator flaps in the breeze. She enters a bedroom where Angelina’s watching Eden draw pictures of windmills and asks to speak with Angelina. Anna tells Angelina that Ben had the same Calling as Eden and she helped him save a drowning man. Anna’s sure something terrifying is coming.

Eden ignores all this, calls Angelina “mommy,” and asks for a cookie.

The Plot:

Ghosts is a single-camera comedy about Samantha and Jay, a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city, respectively, who threw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a huge rundown country estate they inherited into a bed & breakfast – only to find it was inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home. The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer (Pinnock); a pompous 18th-century militiaman (Jones); a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Carrasco); an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Moriarty); a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Devon Chandler Long); a slick ‘90s finance bro (Grodman); a sarcastic and witty native from the 16th-century (Zaragoza); and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron who is Samantha’s ancestor (isocky), to name a few.

The opening of the B&B is a source of intrigue, anxiety, and curiosity among the spirits, but they’ll gladly put up with the commotion as long as they can continue to interact with a living inhabitant – Samantha.

Season 5 Description, Courtesy of NBC:

After a tumultuous year in which the leadership of New Amsterdam underwent dramatic change, the idealistic and beloved Max Goodwin is back at the helm.

As Max takes back the reins at New York City’s busiest public hospital, he must first address his own personal life, which was thrown into uncertainty at the conclusion of season four.

Dr. Bloom will continue to navigate her own personal journey, including a complicated relationship with her estranged sister, Vanessa. Dr. Frome will tackle the mess he has made of his marriage to Martin. And, after a year full of significant family developments, Dr. Reynolds will continue to sort out the relationship with his long-lost father, Horace.

Series Description, Courtesy of Paramount+:

SEAL Team is a military drama that follows the professional and personal lives of the most elite unit of Navy SEALs as they train, plan and execute the most dangerous, high-stakes missions our country can ask of them. Jason Hayes (Boreanaz) is the respected, intense leader of the Tier One team whose home life has suffered as a result of his extensive warrior’s existence. His team includes his trusted confidant, Ray Perry (Brown, Jr.), the longest-tenured operator with whom Jason shares an ingrained shorthand; Sonny Quinn (Buckley), an exceptional, loyal soldier with a checkered past who still combats self-destructive tendencies; Clay Spenser (Thieriot), a young, multilingual second-generation SEAL with insatiable drive and dedication; and Omar Hamza (Barsoumian), a senior chief with fifteen years of experience as a SEAL, the son of Syrian immigrants with a deep understanding of the Middle East.

Vital to the team’s success is Lieutenant Lisa Davis (Trucks), a no-nonsense, take-charge officer. Deployed on clandestine missions worldwide at a moment’s notice and knowing the toll it takes on them and their families, this tight-knit SEAL team displays unwavering patriotism and fearless dedication even in the face of overwhelming odds.

Netflix has renewed The Sandman starring Tom Sturridge as Dream and Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer for a second season. Netflix didn’t confirm the plot or number of season two episodes but did offer this tease of the new season:

“When last we left Dream (Sturridge) and his friends and foes, the forces of hell were on the move, led by Lucifer themself (Christie). The new episodes of the series will dive into that conflict and continue to explore the many challenges facing the universe in the wake of Morpheus’ century-long absence.”

The series is based on the popular DC comic series written by Neil Gaiman and was developed by Gaiman, David S. Goyer, and Allan Heinberg. All three are involved as writers and executive producers, with Heinberg also guiding the series as showrunner.

“Millions upon millions of people have welcomed and watched and loved The Sandman on Netflix, from established Sandman fans to people who were simply curious, and then became obsessed with the Lord of Dreams, his family and their goings-on,” stated Neil Gaiman. “It gives me unbelievable pleasure to say that, working with Netflix and Warner Bros., Allan Heinberg, David Goyer and I will be bringing even more of The Sandman stories to life. There are some astonishing stories waiting for Morpheus and the rest of them (not to mention more members of the Endless Family to meet). Nobody is going to be happier about this than the Sandman cast and crew: they are the biggest Sandman fans there are. And now it’s time to get back to work. There’s a family meal ahead, after all. And Lucifer is waiting for Morpheus to return to Hell…”

In addition to Tom Sturridge and Gwendoline Christine, season one featured Boyd Holbrook, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Charles Dance, Jenna Coleman, David Thewlis, Stephen Fry, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and Mason Alexander Park. Donna Preston, Vanesu Samunyai (formerly known as “Kyo Ra”), John Cameron Mitchell, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Joely Richardson, Niamh Walsh, Sandra James-Young, and Razane Jammal also starred in season one.

“I’m profoundly grateful to Netflix and to Warner Bros. — to the artists and crew who made our first 11 episodes so magical — and to the extraordinary fans of The Sandman, who advocated tirelessly — endlessly — on the show’s behalf and made it possible for us to continue telling Morpheus’ story,” said showrunner Allan Heinberg in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum.

The history of the world’s most famous mouse unfolds in Mickey: The Story of a Mouse. The Won’t You Be My Neighbor? team of director Jeff Malmberg and producer Morgan Neville dive into the origin of Mickey and examine the mouse’s lasting cultural impact.

Disney+ released the following description of Mickey: The Story of a Mouse:

“One of the world’s most beloved icons, Mickey Mouse is recognized as a symbol of joy and childhood innocence in virtually every corner of the globe. Dreamed up at a low point in Walt Disney’s burgeoning career, Mickey became an overnight sensation when he starred in the first synch-sound animated short, Steamboat Willie. Through the decades that followed, the character evolved into strikingly different versions of himself that reflect both his creator’s remarkable career and dramatic societal shifts in the nation he came to represent.”
