Who is Aaron Glover in Manifest season 4 part 1? (character explanation)

Manifest season 4 part 1 has officially landed, and it’s been so worth the wait! Wouldn’t you agree, Manifesters? As the show nears its end, that means it’s time to get some answers to the series-long mystery.

It’s so interesting how in this final season, we’ve been seeing characters who we met all the way back in season 1. Though, the show has always told us “it’s all connected,” so we shouldn’t be so surprised!

One familiar face who popped up is Aaron Glover. He only appeared once back in season 1 episode 10, so you might not easily remember who this character is. If you need a refresher, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered!

In episode 10 of the first season, titled “Crosswinds,” Aaron shows up following Vance’s memorial service. He approaches Ben and tells him he’s a journalist with a podcast called “828-Gate”. He’d like the chance to interview Ben. Though reluctant at first, our protagonist realizes he could benefit from going on the show as the group is trying to figure out who The Major is. Ben does the podcast, talks about the flight, and mentions their search for The Major. They know she’s looking for a Holy Grail, who we learn in later episodes is actually Cal.

Warning: Spoilers for season 4 episode 2 below!

In “All-Call,” which is the fourth season’s second episode, the podcaster reaches out to Ben once again to talk about the traumatic night of Grace’s death. The desperate father is frustrated with not being able to find his missing three-year-old daughter.

Despite his family not thinking it’s a good idea, Ben agrees to appear on Aaron’s podcast. He says Angelina is alive and asks for listeners to help him find the crazed woman since Eden will be with her. This proves to be useful as Aaron does get a tip, eventually leading Ben and Zeke to Anna’s house.

Though she lies at first, Zeke knows Anna is lying thanks to the empath’s abilities. She admits she housed Angelina and Eden after being manipulated by the antagonist. Ben doesn’t find his little girl yet, but it’s the first lead he gets and is one step closer to finding her. So, I guess we have Aaron to thank for reaching out to Ben!

Manifestseason 4 part 1 is now streaming on Netflix.
