Neither Zeke nor Cal are in great shape as Netflix’s Manifest season four episode seven begins. Cal’s laid out on a couch on the Stones’ porch while Zeke (Matt Long) watches over him. When Cal (Ty Doran) finally wakes up, Zeke insists that Cal should be checked out by a doctor. Cal returns the “you’re looking horrible” assessment by noting Zeke has alcohol on his breath.
Cal refuses to let his family know there’s something wrong. He doesn’t want to stress them out. However, he agrees to see a doctor who he doesn’t consider part of the family.
The Registry’s buzzing when Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) shows up and Drea confirms Anna Ross was murdered. Ted’s not a suspect and Michaela wonders why there’s not a cop at every 828er’s door.
Over at the Bird’s Nest, Saanvi (Parveen Kaur) has been burning the midnight oil. She’s also latched onto sapphire being integral to figuring out what happened on Flight 828.
Cal and Zeke visit Dr. Alex Bates (Saanvi’s ex-girlfriend), and Cal learns she suspects his cancer’s back. Alex suggests he focus on living his life and anything that’ll take his mind off his condition.
Ben (Josh Dallas) is hanging out with his dad and Eden at home, still trying to reconnect with his daughter, when Michaela calls with the news Anna Ross was murdered. She warns him that he and Cal should be extra cautious, just as Cal arrives home. Cal’s upset his dad wants him to stay home since no one knows who he is anyway. Ben insists he needs to stay hidden.
Ben and his dad notice Eden’s written letters and figure out she’s having a Calling. Ben’s dad tells him to help his daughter out by following the Calling.
Jared (J.R. Ramirez) and Michaela return to Sam’s place to search for clues. His young neighbor informs them that a lady and her daughter were staying with Sam, and she offered to babysit but the anti-828ers scared them away. She identifies a photo of Eden as the child staying with Sam.
Michaela calls Drea to tell her Anna and Sam both took in Angelina. She’s the connection. Michaela also comes up with a new possible suspect, an anti-828er who calls himself XOUT828. The anonymous person wants to wipe out 828ers and mark them with blood. The two victims had Xs in blood on their palms, so that lines up. Plus, Michaela had a Calling of an X written in blood.
Jared learns XOUT828’s name is Greg Turner and they stake him out.
Back at the Bird’s Nest, Saanvi takes apart the expensive laser to get to its sapphire. She believes sapphire can give her an all-access pass to unlimited Callings.
Cal texts someone, smiles at the reply, and gets dressed up to go out. He’s going to disobey his dad and follow the doctor’s orders.
Ben follows the clues in Eden’s drawing and visits the Assisted Living Neuroscience Institute. It matches Eden’s drawing with ALNI and the sun. He makes up an excuse to look around the place and winds up in a room full of 828ers in wheelchairs. They’re just sitting in their chairs, unable to move or communicate.
Saanvi joins Ben and Ben explains he’s there responding to Eden’s Calling. A staff member orders them out of the room, but Saanvi and Ben don’t give up. The employee tells them no one cares but him about these patients, and he finally gives in when Ben can identify them all as 828ers.
Ben spots Marko and has a flashback of Marko in pain while the Major experimented on him. Ben realizes Eden’s Calling meant he was supposed to help everyone, not just himself. He holds Marko’s hand and apologizes and tears stream down Marko’s face. The care facility employee’s incredulous and lets Saanvi have five minutes with their charts.
When Saanvi opens their charts, their brain scans light up, sending beams of bright light straight up into the air.
Jared and Michaela show up uninvited at Angelina’s mom’s place and she’s pissed they think their badges allow them to look around the place. Police have already gone through everything there and Noelle claims she tried to protect the world from her daughter. She also claims she hasn’t seen her daughter in years.
Autopsies confirm Angelina was too small to have been the killer.
Cal meets up with Violet, one of the 828ers he saved at the compound. They have instant chemistry and spend the day getting to know each other. They hit a karaoke bar (both are hysterically horrible singers!) and Cal’s even comfortable enough to admit he’s really Cal Stone and his sister’s Eden.
Violet has her own confession. She helped Angelina a year ago and now regrets not telling anyone Angelina’s location.
Cal and Violet kiss a couple of times and then it’s time to call it a night. They really hit it off and Cal’s incredibly happy for one of the few times since Flight 828 was lost in the divine consciousness.
Zeke picks up Cal’s meds from Alex but almost immediately hands them back. He’s only been sober for 18 hours and doesn’t trust himself with powerful opioids. He has an epiphany and sits down. He finally acknowledges he has neglected to focus on his own pain. He cries as he confesses that he hasn’t told Michaela he relapsed, and he and Alex agree he shouldn’t keep this a secret.
Cal makes it home and although he’s still coughing up blood, he’s in a good mood. The only hitch is Violet doesn’t return his text.
Jared and Michaela continue their stake out and follow Greg to a passenger’s house. They grab him before he can do anything, but he doesn’t have a knife on him. As they’re talking, Drea texts Michaela that another passenger was just stabbed. Greg isn’t the murderer.
Saanvi and Ben return to the Bird’s Nest and try and figure out what the Calling wanted them to do. Saanvi believes the beam of light looked like an antenna pointing toward the glow. Maybe they’re still connected to the divine consciousness, thanks to the experiments the Major did on them.
Saanvi wants to replicate that without hurting any of them. If she can do that, if she can create a link to the divine consciousness, they may survive their Death Date.
Zeke attends an AA meeting and declares he’s one day sober.
When Ben returns home, Eden’s all smiles and runs and grabs her dad’s hand. She even takes his nametag and sticks it on one of her toys before calling him daddy for the very first time. Ben cries but then pulls himself together and takes a seat next to his daughter.
Michaela’s the next to arrive and she’s happy to see Ben and Eden together at last.
Saanvi and Vance go over everything and Saanvi’s confused how the Major tapped into the God frequency. Nothing in the Major’s reports mentions sapphire. Vance suggests she ask Aria Gupta since she conducted the intake exams.
Alex calls Zeke to confirm his cancer has returned.
Michaela figures out her Calling wasn’t of a bleeding X, it was of a bleeding cross. She now believes Angelina’s mom is the murderer.
Jared arrives looking for Cal. He was the last person to see the latest victim – Violet – alive and the police suspect he’s the murderer. Of course, the police don’t know he’s Cal Stone but they have a photo of him walking away from Violet. They’re coming to take in Gabriel and Cal needs to escape right now before they arrest him.
Cal becomes emotional upon learning Violet was murdered.
