She kept Danny a secret for way too long. Grace didn't have the decency to tell Ben that she fell in love and was playing "happy family" with Danny until the day the flight returned. No one can begrudge the woman that, so that should have made her more sympathetic, right? She thought her husband was dead, and it was normal for her to want love again. Kind of seems like you're cheating on him. Rob: This is gonna sound insane, but I'm a little protective of Danny. Of course, he was unaware that two years after he disappeared Grace had moved on. It sucked because Ben sure as hell was happy about seeing her again. She was happy about her son (and yes, she uses "my son" frequently as if Ben doesn't have a right to his child), but she treated Ben as nothing more than a complication. Yet, if your husband returned from the dead half a decade later, wouldn't you be thrilled? Grace was not. Cal was dying, and that was taxing on the whole family but especially on the Stones' marriage. There were hints that maybe Grace and Ben were having issues in their marriage before the flight. Everyone but Grace who would rather stick her head in the sand and pretend like none of this is happening. "I am absolutely confident that 20 episodes gives me enough time to tell the entirety of the story as I always intended to.Logically, this mystery is confounding, and everyone including the government wants to get to the bottom of things. "The endgame won't change at all," he goes on to tell EW. Rake still feels good about where the show stands, despite not securing the six seasons he originally envisioned. The final season will explore the ramifications of all these stories and much more. What that place is, I'm going let Cal speak to that when we come back in season four."
Captain Daly has been exactly where Cal was from the end of Episode 312 when he disappears to when he returns right there at the very end of the season finale.
When asked about Captain Daly, show creator Jeff Rake told TV Insider, "Whether it's purgatory, whether it's the netherworld, these are terms and concepts that Ben and others will struggle to understand." He continues, "Let's put it this way: Captain Daly has been exactly where the passengers as a group were for those five and a half years. There was also the sudden reappearance and disappearance of Captain Daly (Frank Deal). What makes things even weirder is that the returned passengers and crew begin to hear voices in their heads and have premonitions about events that haven’t even happened. As soon as they step back into their regular lives, they all realize that a lot has changed since they’ve been gone. For all the people in the aircraft, the jump in time was represented by some turbulence. In a nutshell, Manifest tells the story of a commercial airliner, Flight 828, which went missing a few hours into its journey and reappeared with all the crew and passengers more than five later after they were presumed dead. And something that rarely happens to TV shows happened to Manifest when the network announced that they renewed it for one last season. The uproar by the show’s die-hard fans led them to start an online petition to bring it back.
But shortly after season three ended, NBC announced that they wouldn’t be renewing the series for a fourth season. Since Manifestwrapped up its third season in June 2021, the show left viewers with questions and some nail-biting drama in the season finale.
