Sometimes life imitates art, which is essentially what happened when NBC’s twisty mystery drama “Manifest” was saved from cancellation by Netflix. Just as the passengers of Flight 828 got a second chance at life, the show gets a second chance to explain why, and that time has come with the first half of the final season — billed as “Manifest” Season 4 Part 1.
It’s been a year and a half off screen and two years on screen, and somehow both nothing and everything has changed since Season 3’s devastating cliffhanger. When we last saw the Stones, Grace (Athena Karkanis) had been murdered by crazed passenger Angelina (Holly Taylor), who was convinced that Eden, Grace’s daughter with Ben (Josh Dallas), was her own personal guardian angel.
