Now that NBC has officially renewed scif-fi series Manifest for a third season, it’s time to talk about some of the many questions we need answers to ASAP.

After weeks of speculation, NBC finally confirmed that its sci-fi series Manifest will return for a third season, to the relief of fans everywhere. But now that we know for sure our journey with the Flight 828 survivors isn’t over just yet, we need to talk about – well, a whole lot of things.

Manifest follows the story of a group of passengers onboard Flight 828, which disappeared on the way back to New York from Jamaica and was presumed lost, along with all the souls aboard. Mysteriously the plan – along with all its passengers – suddenly reappeared five years later. (Though for those aboard no additional time has passed. Thus far, no one has been able to explain what happened to the plane or how its passengers are still alive.

As the survivors struggle to understand what happened to them, the story expands to include everything from government conspiracies to potential time travel. And Season 2 ended on a wild series of cliffhangers, including several that very well may upend the world of the show as we know it.

To put it simply, fans need a lot of answers heading into season 3. Here are just five of our outstanding questions.
