Evie’s Backstory in Manifest

When Manifest premiered in 2018, it immediately grabbed the attention of supernatural drama fans all around the world. And during the early episodes, viewers were left curious when the character of Evie was introduced into the show.

The scene starts off when Jarod and Lourdes carry Michaela’s old boxes and some pictures of ‘the three amigas’ fall off from one of the cartons. Upon seeing the picture, they laugh about ‘Evie’.

One of the episodes shows that Evie was bullied by a boy called Bobby Tufford in sixth grade because she came to school wearing heels. Instead of complaining about him to her teacher, Evie waits for him after school and beats him up.

The Aftermath of Evie’s Death

After Evie passes away, her parents Glen and Beverly blame Michaela for their daughter’s death. This deeply hurts Michaela and she begins to blame herself as well.

During Michaela’s disappearance, Evie’s mother develops dementia and she cannot remember that her daughter is dead. Eventually, Glen confesses that he lies about Evie’s whereabouts so that Beverly will not suffer by mourning her daughter’s death.

In later episodes, Michaela tries to contact Evie’s parents but she finds out that Beverly has Alzheimer. In one scene, Michaela cannot help Beverly when she is leaving for the living facility because she becomes overwhelmed with emotions.

In the end, Michaela and Zeke decide that they want to look after Beverly instead of sending her away to the facility.

Is Evie Connected to Jared?

In one episode we see Michaela telling Lourdes that Evie’s death was connected with her fiance, Jared and that she will return the ring.

This is actually all a lie said by Michaela to make Lourdes feel better about marrying Jared. In a flashback, we see Michaela try texting Jared that she would marry him but the text never went through.

So fans have been wondering how Evie is connected to Jared. Did anything happen between them? There is only one way to find out and for that, you have to watch the series itself.
