'Manifest' has been teasing Zeke Landon's (Matt Long) death ever since Season 2 began. Until the final episode, all eyes were on Zeke's last breath, and some fans breathed a sigh of relief when he finally lost his life in Michaela's (Melissa Roxburgh) arms. 

It could have been a beautiful ending, with Zeke's sacrifice for Cal Stone (Jack Messina). But even before fans of Jared Vasquez (JR Ramirez) could start celebrating, the makers hurled another shocking twist by springing him back to life just like Jon Snow from 'Game of Thrones'. Not all viewers are happy with the development at the end.

A lot of fans have been posting about how they wanted Zeke to die and make way for Jared and Michaela's future. "That was such a perfect way for Zeke to go out saving Cal & then Michaela and Jared happily ever after. But of course it couldn’t be that simple. So I shall just sit here and wait for season 3. #manifest," one posted and another wrote, "LMAO not me being just a little bit happy that Zeke died which meant Jared could get Michaela back, only for zeke to come back to life... Also wth is this plane wing in the water when the plane actually back?? #Manifest."

"LMAO not me being just a little bit happy that Zeke died which meant Jared could get Michaela back, only for Zeke to come back to life... Also wth is this plane wing in the water when the plane actually back?? #Manifest," another one posted.

"Why can't Zeke just die! I'm team Jared/michaela By the way. Sorry Zeke fans #manifest," one posted, another wrote, "I'm not wishing the worst on Zeke, I'm just sort of over him and want Jared and Michaela power couple back. We still don't even know his purpose he wasn't on the boat or in the plane what is he????"

Another wrote, "I don’t like him at all. But then again I don’t like Michaela either. I love me some Jared, he is such a good man. #Manifest What if Zeke is dead and that lightning storm/strike place the kidnapper who pulled him under into Zeke’s body. Just spitballing here."

However, some fans are on Zeke's side. "I’m glad Zeke didn’t die because Mick would never be able to go back to Jared losing him in that way. They need to split naturally for Jachaela to be endgame. 2. JACHAELA IS STILL ENDGAME 3. Saanvi is an idiot #Manifest #Manifesters," one wrote and another said, "I think even Jared and Michaela fans have to feel this is for the best because it isn’t right for Michaela to be with Jared if Zeke had died. This way there is a chance she wants to be with him for him. Still ship Zeke & Michaela though. #Manifest."

As 'Manifest' comes back for Season 3, it might show how Michaela's relationship with Zeke goes and if Jared still stands a chance in her life.
