Heating Return Manifold Question

Member Posts: 5
My son sent me a pic of his configuration while troubleshooting a zone issue. On a 4 zone config with a common return manifold, there is an extra zone valve installed in the main feed return to the boiler. If you picture a kitchen fork standing upright, the 4 zones would be the tines, the handle the common return. I don’t understand that zones purpose and additionally, its installed with the valve facing the return flow direction. The other 4 are opposite direction.
Give me a clue please.
