Netflix’s Manifest season four episode six picks up the action the morning after the bombing at the compound. The police are swarming the crime scene, and it’s revealed Erika’s dead body has five bullets in it. The Captain wants to get the rounds to Ballistics ASAP.
Jared (J.R. Ramirez) is also roaming the crime scene while over at the Stone place, Ben (Josh Dallas) is giving interviews to the press about Eden’s return. Michaela’s been hauled into the Registry to tell her side of the story. Both do a decent job of covering up the truth.
Angelina (Holly Taylor) shows up at her mom’s house, and this time her mom welcomes her in.
Back at the Stone home, Eden’s still sleeping as Cal (Ty Doran) tells Olive (Luna Blaise) he had a Calling and thinks the Lifeboat is sinking and they can’t stop it. Whatever they’re doing isn’t enough to change anything. Olive reminds him he needs to follow the Callings, but Cal’s adamant that they’re not enough to save the Lifeboat.
Ben joins them in Eden’s room and she wakes up and asks for her mom. Ben knows it’s going to take time for Eden to understand what happened.
Jared’s partner, Diaz, grumbles about doing another 828 thing, but the Captain’s grateful for their help. He’s also grateful that Jared’s willing to take the bullets to Ballistics. Diaz notices a fertilizer label and figures out how this all ties together.
Still, Jared refuses to confide in him about what’s really going on.
Jared’s about to leave the crime scene when he spots Vance’s vehicle. He provides Vance with an update and shows him the shell casings. They match Jared’s gun, but he’s unwilling to give them to Vance. He’s determined to do the right thing and take them to Ballistics.
Cal and Zeke (Matt Long) have a moment alone and accuse each other of suppressing how they really feel. Zeke knows Cal’s not feeling well, and Cal knows Zeke was bombarded with rage. Zeke confirms he feels guilty over shooting Erika but still needs to get to work.
When he walks away, Cal coughs blood into a tissue.
Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) tells Ben she had a Calling that looked like she was standing on an aquarium looking at fish. Ben notes one of the passengers, Sam Wile, owns an aquarium supply company.
Michaela calls Zeke as she heads over to check on Sam. She suggests Zeke takes things easy after what he just went through, and Zeke claims he had to go to work because his patients need him.
Sam doesn’t answer but his door’s unlocked, so Michaela walks in. The place is trashed and Sam’s dead in the middle of the kitchen floor.
Back at the Stone house, Olive and Cal work through the whole Callings are memories theory. Olive points out Eden gets Callings but wasn’t on the plane, so there must be another way to connect with the divine consciousness.
Ben tries to connect with Eden by showing her her old toys. Eden doesn’t remember any of them and just wants her mommy.
Jared meets Michaela at Sam’s place and immediately recognizes the victim as tussling with Officer Vasquez outside the 828 Registry. Vasquez was roughing him up when Jared stepped in.
Michaela suggests they do their own investigation, starting with Sam’s wife. They question her outside the Registry and she admits they got divorced because he was too nice. He took everyone in and even gave those in need cash from their business.
After she leaves, Jared and Michaela decide the next step is to ask Drea to pull up Sam’s bank records.
Ben decides to shave his beard so that maybe Eden won’t think of him as the “bad man” anymore. Olive subs in for her mom and helps Ben cut it off. He also invites Anna over and asks for her help, since Eden stayed with her for a while and likes her. Anna agrees to help in any way she can.
Adrian attacks Eagan minutes after he’s released from jail, blaming him for the compound being blown up. Eagan suggests he should blame Angelina, and Adrian confesses that although everyone thinks she died in the bombing, she actually escaped.
Adrian’s upset he took her to a nice house in Westchester, and she didn’t even let him stay for one night.
There’s a $20,000 reward for her location which is on the map on Adrian’s phone. Adrian claims he’s not giving up her location, but he just did since Eagan looked at the map.
Eagan shows up at Angelina’s mom’s place and she claims her daughter’s dead. He knows she’s lying and demands $20,000 or else he’ll give the Registry Angelina’s location.
She gives him her expensive watch and sends him on his way.
Zeke discovers that after shooting Erika, he’s no longer able to control his anger. Connecting with a patient enrages him and rather than helping the man, he attacks him. He’s forced into leaving the job he loves.
Drea, Jared, and Michaela sort through Sam’s finances and determine there’s someone crooked inside the Registry that he was paying $2000 a month to before he was murdered.
Jared’s stopped on the way out of the Registry and told to surrender his gun. They’re going to compare his weapon to the bullets, thanks to a tip from Jared’s partner. Jared isn’t going to lie about what happened and tells Michaela he’s just going to trust his moral compass.
Drea does a quick investigation and learns Sam was always questioned by Captain Ted Colvin, the same officer who just took Jared’s gun. She’s going to look through his office while he’s out and see what she can discover. She finds rolls of cash in his drawer and Sam’s ring in Ted’s coat pocket.
Ted spots her exiting his office and chases her up to the roof. He wants the ring back, and she manages to call Jared before Ted attacks her. Jared and Michaela hear the conversation and race to the roof. Ted’s busy explaining why he’s now a dirty cop when Jared shows up and tells him he’s done. Ted claims he didn’t kill his “golden goose” and threatens to turn Jared and Michaela in for their involvement in Erika’s death.
Jared refuses his offer and Michaela charges, knocking Ted to the ground.
Ted’s locked up and, unfortunately, Michaela’s timing sucks as she has a Calling while being interviewed about what happened.
Jared knows his gun will match the bullets and tells Vance he’s ready to take the fall. However, Vance has an advance copy of the report and the bullets don’t match Jared’s gun. In fact, they don’t match any gun that’s ever been manufactured. (Well played, Vance.)
Angelina calls Ben and wants to speak with Eden. Ben’s shocked and upset that she’s alive and that she reached out and wants to remain in Eden’s life. He warns her to stay away from his child.
Ben’s crestfallen when Eden wants her mommy even after he shaved off his beard.
Angelina calls Cal and begs to speak to Eden. Cal refuses and tells her she’ll never understand what she’s done to his family. Cal only wants Eden to heal, and Angelina suggests she can help since she knows everything Eden likes/dislikes.
Cal makes a deal and will let her talk to Eden if she tells the child that Ben loves her and that he’s a good man. Angelina agrees.
Ben walks in as Angelina’s singing to Eden on Cal’s phone. Ben can’t understand what Cal was thinking, and Cal explains what he was attempting to do. Ben’s not buying it and accuses Cal of being connected to Angelina in some weird way. He doesn’t trust his son to keep Angelina out of their lives.
Ben makes the mistake of making Cal feel like he loves Eden more, and Cal decides to leave home. He writes a brief note saying his dad was right and he shouldn’t be there right now.
Olive calls TJ and leaves a message detailing how sapphire is somehow connected to everything. She even explains Moses was standing on sapphire when he received the Ten Commandments from God. Every time humans communicate with the divine, sapphire is involved. (This call does the job of explaining to the audience everything we need to know about sapphire and the divine consciousness.)
Eagan shows up at a police station to claim the $20,000 in exchange for Angelina’s whereabouts.
Jared believes Sam’s killer is still out there. He doesn’t think Ted Colvin murdered the 828er. It looks like he’s onto something when 828er Anna is stabbed to death.
Zeke’s so upset and confused that he turns to alcohol for help. As he’s stumbling home, he trips over Cal’s unconscious body.
