Talk about a turbulent ride,Manifest-ers!
Will the Stones pack up and head to the beach?
Will those gravestones (and the dead Stones underneath them) come to be?

), we caught up withManifestexecutive producer and creator Jeff Rake for some insight.
That is a complication that the writers and I had contemplated throughout the season.
Poor Ben, though.
So well see how it plays out.
Okay, lets talk about Griffin and that epic water-spewing scene.
It was very effective.
Then we supplemented it with visual effects, and the combination was very effective.
That was my next question!
Thats a fundamental that Ben and others will be struggling with for seasons to come.
So why did the callings even pick Griffin to bring back if he was going to jeopardize their work?
Is he just a cog in a bigger machine?Thats one way of putting it.
Rather, there is an ability for them either be utilized for good or bad purposes.
If the callings are inherently good, how does it make sense to give it someone whos not good?
Maybe we cant assume that the callings have some positive morality associated with them.
And now theyve been confronted with a death day too.
Is that something theyre just going to accept?
Or are they going to try and defy it?All of the above.
That poses a number of questions.
Number one: How can that be confirmed?
Im not going to speak to that right now, but that will be an open question going forward.
The second question would be: If this is in fact a real thing, can it be undone?
Which one of them was she supposed to stop?We have left that entirely to your interpretation.
Well have to wait for the B-side to see.
We heard the bullet go off, well have to wait and see where it landed.
Did the bullet hit someone, though?
Is one of them dead?That bullet did not hit the ceiling.
What can you say about Zeke and Michaelas connection?
The definitely had a moment in that episode.That was a moment.
They both were aware of it.
I love how that moment ended up playing out.
I thought the actors and the directors did a great job.
The moment is there, and then they both become self-conscious and it breaks.
How suspicious should we be of Zeke?
Theres a spectrum there and he lies somewhere in the middle, like others on the show.
The calling is a tool that can be used to steer him in one direction or another.
I like to think that thats where the season ended up.
For me, so much of the dramatic tension of the series lies in the grayness of these relationships.
So the fact that people are reading more into certain partnerships or platonic alliances, I think is cool.
Once the show airs, the viewers are entitled to their opinions as much as I am.
Hopefully we have a long life in the series, and some of these theories may play out.
