Q: Did major died in Manifest?

Manifest Season 4 Part 1 Endings Major Death Explained By Showrunner. Manifest showrunner explains why a major death had to take place, and what that means for the show and other characters moving forward. Warning!

I can understand the major taking a back seat to figure out what to do with the info she has. She's a villain and we usually don't see things from her perspective.

I have no idea how Vance hasn't been around, interacting with Ben and Mick at least, with what's happened with the Xers, 828ers and Believers over the last few episodes.

After Flight 828

Vance goes to the airport where Flight 828 lands, and explains to the passengers that they have been missing for five and a half years.

Later, he interrogates Bill Daly, Danny Clarke, Bethany Collins, Saanvi Bahl, Radd Campbell, Kelly Taylor, Harvey Stein, Michaela Stone, Ben Stone, and Cal Stone.

The Lead Investigator tells him that everyone on the plane was interrogated, but they don't have any information on what happened, and that there isn't any substance dating from between the time the plane took off, and when it returned, and that it looks like they never landed. Vance then replies that it is impossible, and the Lead Investigator says that no one on the plane aged a day.("Pilot")

Vance is said to have died when caught in an explosion while trying to free the 11 missing passengers of Flight 828. However he in fact faked his death to throw The Major off his track.("Dead Reckoning", "Grounded")
