With its complicated mythology and esoteric themes, "Manifest" is one of the more mind-bending sci-fi shows available on Netflix (https://www.looper.com/761312/15-shows-like-manifest-that-are-worth-your-time/), even if it can be more than a little soapy at times. From the moment Flight 828 unexpectedly lands five years after its scheduled arrival, the passengers find themselves plagued with strange visions and auditory hallucinations they come to know as "callings."

One of the central mysteries in "Manifest" is exactly how the callings (https://www.looper.com/619098/the-callings-from-manifest-explained/) work and whether they have the ability to somehow lead to a person's death. With all of the various plot threads the Stone family and their fellow 828ers encounter, it's no wonder Michaela and Ben are confused — especially when so many of those threads seem to inexplicably get dropped or fade into the background. But sometimes, the answer to what seems like a red herring is hiding in plain sight, or at the very least half-hidden behind a cringy love triangle. If understanding the callings is threatening to sink your lifeboat, we've got you covered. Let's take a look at the most confusing moments in "Manifest" explained.
