This article contains spoilers for Manifest season 4.

Manifest has never been short of villains. Since Flight 828 landed, it’s been a constant battle to figure out who genuinely are the good guys, committed to figuring out the mystery of the plane and their callings, and who are those sinking the lifeboat. The likes of fellow 828 passengers Eagan (Ali Sohaili) and former cult leader Adrian (Jared Grimes) have both been considered to be more villainous than most at one point or another in the show but season four has really brought the true villain to the forefront. Someone who shows no signs of backing down especially now that she has the last remaining piece of the Omega Sapphire. Yes, you guessed it, that villain is Angelina Meyer.

So how did Manifest create the show’s ultimate villain in Angelina (Holly Taylor)?

Angelina’s backstory weakened our defenses

For many viewers, they...

Manifest, which is preparing to land for one final season on Netflix after its untimely cancellation by NBC, has been nothing short of a bumpy ride. However, the TV series has captivated viewers with its story of the Montego Airways Flight 828 passengers, who landed in New York City to the shock of a lifetime. They had been missing for five and a half years and presumed dead in which time their loved ones all aged, but they returned completely unchanged.

Throughout three seasons, we’ve watched the passengers struggle to adapt to their new reality, which has changed their relationships with their families, made them garner often-unwanted attention, and put them in difficult and dangerous situations as their return gave them prophetic visions and thoughts known as “Callings.”

But that’s not all, so before things get rolling again, let’s look back at where the show left us…

What...

This week on NBC’s Manifest, as Olive helped houseguest Angelina “follow” a calling, their path eventually crossed with that ofthe three Meth Heads who were newly on the lam after emerging from their once-frozen grave.

Hunted down by Michaela and Drea, Kory and Jace managed to slip away. Pete, though, lagged behind and got nabbed by the cops, fixated as he was by a photograph he had found of him as a kid. Thing is, said snapshot actually belonged to Angelina, who had just plucked it from an excavated school time capsule. And her 10-year-old self is standing in front of Pete!

The following recap contains Manifest spoilers.

Manifest this Monday night (at least partially) resolved a mystery nearly two seasons in the making.
