This post contains spoilers for the final season of Netflix’sManifest.
Manifesthas reached its final destination.
On June 2, the hit sci-fi series came to a close as the remaining episodes of season 4 were released on Netflix.
The first half of season 4, which premiered on Nov. 4, 2022, picked up two yearsafter the events of the season 3 finale, in which Grace (Athena Karkanis) was brutally murdered. Throughout part 1, the passengers of Flight 828 learnmore information about their mysterious callings, before ultimately discovering that theirdeath date actually marks a worldwide apocalypse.
With that new information in mind, part 2 sees many of the passengers work together to save the lifeboat and keep their loved ones safe amid the end of the world.
Of course, that isn’t without a few obstacles as the passengers are separated from the rest of the world in a detention facility and deal with many relationship woes. Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) is overcome with grief following the death of her husband Zeke (Matt Long) in the part 1 finale but finds some relief when she starts having visions of him when he was in the glow.
During one of those visions, he talks to her about the concept of time and how there were many moments in their life when they almost met but didn’t. In particular, he was a taxi driver at the airport the night the Flight 828 plane was supposed to land in 2013.
Meanwhile, Michaela and Ben (Josh Dallas)’s father (Malachy Cleary), who has been helping take care of Cal (Ty Doran), Olive (Luna Blaise) and Eden (Brooks and Parker Johnson), has a life-altering stroke. As a result, Michaela finds a way to get out of the detention facility to take care of her father, with the help of Jared (J.R. Ramirez).

Jared and Michaela continue to grow closer during that time. However, their honeymoon period doesn’t last long as Jared finds out that Drea is pregnant with his child. Though Jared stays with Michaela, she can tell his heart really longs to be with Drea (Ellen Tamaki) and their child.
After losing 11 passengers, the remaining manifest fights off an Angel of Death before everything goes calm and they continue into the glow. Once they have arrived at their final destination, they all exit the plane, where a door appears before them.
As Ben happily reunites with Grace, Michaela has a different kind of reunion with Jared. Even though she loves him, she knows he ultimately belongs with Drea. So she breaks off their engagement and tells him to believe her when she says, “He has to have hope,” in reference to the name of his daughter with Drea.
Outside the airport, Jared actually runs into Drea, who he is now meeting for the first time. The two have some witty banter back and forth, before Jared assists Drea with the Flight 828 mystery inside, insinuating the two will eventually get together. Also outside, Vance arrives at the airport, where he asks how 11 people can mysteriously vanish from a plane, seemingly confirming that everyone from Flight 828, minus the 11 people who turned to ash in that final flight, returned to 2013.

Set to go home, Ben informs Michaela that their parents have taken Cal and Olive home, and instructs her to get a taxi cab. Remembering that Zeke was actually at the airport the night their plane was supposed to land, she rushes outside to find him sitting in one of the taxi cabs. As another person approaches, she asks them if they can take another taxi because that’s her husband in the car.
Though taken aback, Zeke goes with it, eventually asking if he knows her. She replies that they kind of do, and it’s all part of “some never-ending story,” a reference to Zeke’s sister’s favorite book.
The episode ends with a voiceover from Michaela as she talks about the life-changing event they all experienced on April 7, 2013. She adds that some people called it impossible, while others deemed it a miracle. However, for her and the rest of the people on Flight 828, it was simply “the day life changed.”
