'Manifest' Season 1 recap: Jared might have lost his chance with Michaela as fans see him turn "wolf" after finale
It often does not take long for a character to transform him/herself into absolutely the most disliked character on screen, and let's just say with the finale episode of 'Manifest', something quite similar has happened with Jared (J.R.Ramirez). Jared has been in love with Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) for years but when she was about to leave for Jamaica his proposal of marriage to Michaela was deemed inappropriate since Michaela was unsure about it. However, when Michaela returned after almost five and a half years (although for her it was only a week), along with the other passengers of Montego Air Flight 828, she discovered that Jared was already married to her best friend, Lourdes (Victoria Cartagena).
Jared tried to make it up to Michaela. Their situation was already quite complicated since he had assumed that the passengers of the plane were dead, and it was time he moved on. However, the plane returning changed everything, and as much as Jared tried to get back to Michaela his marriage with Lourdes would always come in the way. For a good part of the first half of Season 1, Jared tried to wrap his head around the fact that Michaela was following orders from the voices in her head, that she referred to as "Callings". Over the course of the show, the two managed to develop a partnership at work but it soon got intimate when Jared and Michaela finally confessed that they were still in love.
