After returning to the plane on their death date on Manifest Season 4 Episode 20, “Final Boarding,” the passengers of flight 828 faced judgment for everything they had done during those five and a half years since the plane returned.

We spoke to Taylor about her reaction to how everything wrapped up.

Watch the full interview with Holly Taylor:

“The way the series ends is nothing that I was expecting at all. It blew my mind. I think the audience will feel the same way. I kind of don’t like to know what’s going to happen ahead of time, and I think that paid off for me. It’s very endearing and heartbreaking.”

“You’ll get some answers. You’ll be sad. There will be tears. All the good stuff that a finale deserves,” Holly continued.

Some of the passengers made it out alive, and others, like Angelina, met their fiery fates. When asked if anything could have redeemed Angelina, sparing her from death, Taylor had this to say.

“Actually, yeah, now that you mention it there is one scene where Angelina actually shows some remorse and awareness for some of the things she’s done, but that’s kind of it, I would say. Spoiler but she’s on a mission, and she’s not going to let anyone stop her. She thinks she is doing the right thing.”
