After the cliffhanger that was episode eleven of Found, I wasn’t really sure what to think. Who could Gabi have called? Who would she feel safe outing what she’s done to? Missing While Eccentric gives us answers, but leaves us with so many more questions. But hey, what episode of Found doesn’t do just that?
If you haven’t watched the episode, you’re going to want to take a step back right now and not read the rest of this. Go… close out of this review. It’s okay. We’ll wait.
Okay, you’ve had enough time.
While I would have bet my money that she called Trent, she didn’t. I do see my failure in that logic. She hasn’t shown that she trusts Trent like that. If anything, Gabi fears Trent, because she fears the fact she has feelings for Trent and she can’t be honest with him.
She can’t tell him that she’s got an insane man locked up in her basement.
I should have realized that the person that she would call is Dahn. I should mention that there have never and will never be enough words to articulate just how brilliant Karan Oberoi is as Dahn. Every single time he comes on the screen, you can be assured that you are going to be hit with a wave of emotions, but you’re always going to be wanting to root for him.
The way that Oberoi brings Dahn to life, you just can’t help the fact that you’re invested. You’re so very invested in everything that his character does, as you are with most of the characters on this show. I say most, because if you feel for Sir, might I suggest therapy. There is no way that you can feel sympathy for Sir.
Yes, you can feel sympathy for anyone being locked in that basement, as no one should be. But this man has ruined so many lives that my feeling bad for him is very limited. Dahn though, he’s a better man than me, because he doesn’t get why it is that Gabi has locked him in the basement and reminds her of what had been done to him. We also find out that Dahn is the person that found Sir initially.
It’s definitely gotten so complicated. Dahn doesn’t know what to think of Gabi, but he does have words. He believes that he’s never known her and that she’s put a stain on all of the work that they’ve all done. TBH, he makes perfect sense, so for me, it’s not far off. Yet, for Gabi, she’s got excuses and her excuses make sense to her.
It doesn’t matter if they aren’t the same for others.
While this is shocking enough, this episode left me questioning so much. Zeke is in his home and a sensor goes off. He sees a woman in a nightgown running from place to place in order to try and get help. He wants to help her and keeps monitoring, when he sees her run to a door next to him.
He can’t go outside but he makes it to his doorway and screams for her to come this way. For someone who has been kidnapped and gone through so much, she doesn’t think and runs into the basement, where she collapses.
Not perfect timing, as Zeke needs Gabi, who is in the middle of her argument with Dahn. The pacing of this episode starts off so fast, and you don’t realize how much time is passing, and then all of the sudden you realize it. You realize it because the storyline is met with such ignorance. It’s written greatly, it’s just some of the characters who are ignorant.
The girl who was kidnapped was found with a chain around her neck, drugged and speaking a language that no one could understand. Gabi believes her though. She has the team working hard to try and figure out what happened, where her friends are, and why she says that her kidnapper was a lizard man with four arms.
People doubt the girl, because she had an interaction with a former co-worker who said that she lost it on her and that she attacked her out of the blue. When Gabi and her team start questioning everything, you know that they are going to get answers.
It does turn out that the kidnappings took place at raves that were based off a book series, so hey, we do understand that fandom part. We also appreciate the fact that in this episode, we’re able to see the family and the comradery that fandom can bring. It truly is a built in family and one that is very important in a lot of lives. Fandom can encompass so many things.
The way that fandom brings family and that relationships are there are important. They can save someone and I think that was important to show how it can be the bond that draws people together and also keeps a person sane.
While the entire team is picking up on there being issues between Gabi and Dahn, they try and remain focus. It turns out that while everyone can keep their secrets, they all need each other. They all need some sort of way of feeling understood and they do get that sense from each other.
Dahn can be mad at Gabi. He can not understand why she’s done the things that she has, but he does love her. When Gabi is taken again, they all realize just how much they love Gabi and how much their entire relationships can be dysfunctional, when Gabi is kidnapped and they are all willing to do anything to save each other.
Dahn understands why she goes to Sir, because he needs to do just that. Sir is pretty damn demented, but Dahn will do anything to save Gabi. It’s kinda beautiful to see the love that they all have for each other. However, that being said, it also was hard to watch.
Though story wise, I do understand why Gabi was taken, it was hard to watch. It was hard to watch because somehow we’re supposed to find safety in these characters. It does keep me on my toes and wondering what will happen next. That’s not a bad thing.
But also I don’t consider it to be great.
Gabi says that her experience – she knows she’s got to come clean. She tells Dahn that she’s going to tell Trent and turn Sir in. She knows that the ramifications will come, but she needs to do it to heal. While I do consider it to be a good thing that she wants to come clean, I do worry about how it will affect everyone else.
That’s the thing about this team – what affects one, affects all.
But I will tell you this… I will not be sad to see Sir go down. Whatever happens though, I am Team Gabi. Won’t leave her side. Ride or die for her til the end.
