Does Saanvi figure out the major is her therapist?

Briefly: Grace had another calling. This particular calling was brought to you by MSPaint in 1997.

The calling concerned the woman in that screenshot. Grace and Cal followed her around trying to find out what the calling meant until the woman told them to scram and stop stalking her. We find out later, however, that she’s with a guy who hired Ben as a professor, presumably to keep tabs on him. As we discover that information, the camera pans upward to indicate to what Grace’s calling referred, because the typical Manifest viewer needs the information pounded into his head with a battering ram.

Elsewhere, Ben tells Saanvi that she has a mole, and she discovers that the mole is her therapist and that her therapist is The Major, a shadowy figure with uncertain motives (the writers have not yet figured out what those motives are). So, Saanvi plants some fake evidence to keep The Major busy for a few weeks. We also find out that Saanvi’s boyfriend(?) didn’t get on the plane with her back in the day, and Saanvi is still broken up about it, but we don’t learn that a major character had a boyfriend before she got on the plane until the third episode of the second season because the writers are making up shit as they go along.

Olive joins a Flight 828 cult. I have no idea what the motives of the cult are. It is unlikely that the writers of Manifest know, either. They’ll figure it out in episode eight or so.

The A-story this week, though, is this: Michaela decides she needs to get Zeke out of prison. He pleaded guilty to attempted murder two weeks ago for accidentally shooting Michaela. Zeke, however, has been transferred to another prison. Michaela spends half the episode trying to track him down, and when she finally does, he’s tied to a gurney and being administered tranquilizers. As she’s being dragged away by a guard, Michaela yells, “GET A LAWYER.” Within a few hours, Zeke is in court, Michaela is on the stand insisting that Zeke shot her by accident and that he wouldn’t have been in a position to do so if Jared — her ex — hadn’t been stalking Zeke. The judge is like, “OK!” and releases Zeke.

All of this happens in 24 hours — Zeke goes from a gurney in a prison cell where he’s been sentenced to like a decade to the street outside the prison hugging Michaela as a free man. Someone get Adnan Syed that lawyer.

When Saanvi walks into the secret lab in her home, she sees that all her research and materials have been stolen, signifying that the Major was still a step ahead

In last week's episode of 'Manifest', Ben and former NSA director Robert Vance — who faked his death after he learned that someone higher up was trying to control the shots — came up with a plan to figure out who Saanvi's leak was.

While initially, they keep Saanvi out of the loop, Ben finally convinces Vance to come clean to her and include her in on the plan. Saanvi then plays a game and figures out that the leak is actually her — she has been telling her "therapist" everything about her research.

When Saanvi tells Vance and Ben, they ask Saanvi to identify her "therapist" among the list of top officials of the Department of Defence. They then realize that Saanvi's "therapist" is the Major herself.

In this week's episode, Saanvi tries to keep the ruse going — speaking of her research while chewing on an apple (while keeping placebo results in her lab at work). However, at the end of the episode, when Saanvi walks into the secret lab in her home, she sees that all her research and materials have been stolen — with an apple left behind, signifying that the Major was still a step ahead of Saanvi.

Fans were disappointed and shocked to learn of the Major's double-deception. One fan tweeted, "Saanvi and Vance were outmaneuvered and I'm so mad!" Another fan tweeted, "Damn. The Major took everything and then took off. But really Saanvi, what did u expect?"

Viewers are left wondering how Vance, Ben and Saanvi can now come back out on top. One fan wrote, "I literally can't. There are too many twists, now the major has all of Saanvi’s research!"

Some fans are already plotting the end of the story and hope that Saanvi gets to pull the metaphorical trigger to bring down the Major. A fan wrote, "I really hope Saanvi gets to be the one to kill the Major when the time comes. She's screwed with her so much, it's only fitting #Manifest."
