Manhunt Recap: Plots Within Plots
Stanton gets a reminder of the importance of controlling the narrative.
Whether or not it was a forgery remains an open question, historically speaking, though a later flashback will pretty much confirm that, in the universe of Manhunt at least, Stanton was behind it, having previously argued to Lincoln that the Rules of Engagement don’t apply because Davis is not a legitimate head of state. A flashback to an argument with Abe about Robert’s intent to enlist in the army is perfectly understandable, particularly when she points out the hypocrisy of having a fighting force heavy on Irish and Black men and light on the sons of the wealthy. • We’re past the halfway point with Manhunt now and it continues to alternate between different plot strands and players — Booth and Stanton but also Mary, Baker, Conover, and others — while making connections between each.
