The Death Date is the date that a resurrected person faces their second death happening the exact amount of time that had passed between their original death and their resurrection.
Likewise, do they beat the death date in manifest?
Despite each passenger getting their own Death Date, which is determined based on how much time passed between the person’s original death and resurrection, Zeke does manage to miraculously beat his Death Date and survive in season 2.
Correspondingly, how did Zeke escape the death date? An earthquake soon strikes the cave, giving Zeke the opportunity to escape. Unknown to Zeke, he actually froze to death and like the 828 passengers, was resurrected with Zeke coming back to life a year later.
Likewise, people ask, how did Zeke survive death date?
While doing everything he can to stay warm and survive in a cave, he pulls out the magazine and uses a picture of Michaela Stone (Melissa Roxburgh) as a way to stay alive. Though Zeke did in fact freeze to death in the cave, like the 828 passengers, he was resurrected a year later.
