The Ending Of Manifest Season 4 Part 1 Explained

The worst romances in "Manifest" can get pretty soapy, while the best romances on the show tend to go in a more chaotic direction. But as the 828ers inch ever so slowly closer to understanding the mystery of the Callings, a pattern begins to emerge in one of the characters' love lives — a pattern that indicates this guy is something of a loverboy.

As Flight 828 first disappears, Detective Michaela Stone is in the process of accepting a proposal from her work partner, the hunky but hot-headed Jared Vasquez. Along with Evie and Lourdes, the two grew up together as good friends, and their relationship blossoms into more while they're working together. At first reluctant to accept, Michaela is more than ready by the time she disembarks in New York City. The only problem? For Jared, it's been five years. Not only has he moved on and married the next in line in their friend circle, Lourdes, but they're actively working on making a little Vasquez.

But Michaela's resurfacing throws a wrench into their plans when the torn Jared can't commit to either and his marriage falls apart. When Michaela moves on with Zeke, though, Jared isn't lonely for long and quickly moves onto and through his next two dropped plot lines — the X-er-adjacent barkeep Tamara ("False Horizon") and the Major's daughter ("Mayday: Part 2"). When Season 4 rolls around, he's got a new gal, and it looks like he's finally met his match in the sassy, smart cop Drea Mikami. It's just too bad he hasn't learned his lesson about dating in the workplace.
