I really enjoyed this episode. Yes, like others I felt it was a somewhat slower episode than the series opener but it was still full of good character development and.quality drama.
This series has been on my watch list a long while and I am glad I am finally getting around to seeing it. Not to spoil anything, but this episode picks up from the pilot with all the characters having to readjust back to their lives.
Ben and Michaela seem to be fighting crime left and right while he deals with his son's cancer treatment and trying to reconnect with his wife. Michaela attempts to reestablish her old life, while dealing with the emotional fall of finding out her former fiance has remarried. Some good drama as well from a fellow flight passenger and his estranged son.
I've only ever seen Josh Dallas in "Once" and it was enjoyable family fun. Here, Manifest seems to be another good family show suitable for most viewers except small children. The episode closure scene is a bit of a shocker which works to only draw the viewer in deeper into the mystery.
8/'10.
