There is nothing that I love more than being able to fully get a part of the characters on a show – parts of them that have left us confused. I know that for me, I have never understood why it is that Sir was left alive in that basement. How did he get there? Luckily in Found Season 2, Episode 12, we begin to understand more about just how that happened.
Found rarely, if ever, disappoints. It’s mostly because the show makes sure to weave everything together in a way that you have to pay attention to details. It’s not even that you have to – you want to.
This episode made me double-think a lot of what I thought I knew, but realizing that I know nothing.
Found continues to blow our minds and tell stories in a way that is addictive and captivating.
It’s appointment television.
DAHN NEEDS A LOOPHOLE
There is no part of me that doesn’t feel for everyone at M&A. Gabi has been arrested and they are all helpless. Yet, for Gabi, they’ve done everything that they can and she wants them to concentrate on M&A.
But Dahn, he’s loyal AF and he would spend a lifetime in jail if that meant Gabi was safe. It’s his loyalty that makes me love him even more. Yes, I would like to understand it more, but I don’t. I am hoping that is one of those things that we learn along the way.
Lacey has to remind him that they have to respect Gabi’s wants.
There are a lot of things that I take issue with about that, but I also realize that for Gabi it’s about making sure that they are all safe. That’s what will get her through. I can appreciate that about her.
GABI AND HER DAD
One thing that I really enjoyed about Found Season 2, Episode 12 was the way that we got to know Gabi and her motivation for all of the things that she does. Sir took time with her Dad away and she can’t and won’t forgive that.
The flashbacks are all just shortly after her father died. She is broken. Now, I can understand why it is that she doesn’t want to deal with Sir any more, and ending his life seems like the best thing that she can do.
Sir’s obsession with Gabi isn’t something that I can necessarily understand. Then again, I am not a psycho like this man is.
And he’s acting like he should be forgiven as if he’s saved her. He hasn’t done anything for her but make her panic, and anxious, and lose time with all the people that matter to her.
His urn sitting on the table and her staring the pain in her face every second isn’t easy for her. She’s experiencing grief, and again, though I don’t agree with what she’s done, I do get it.
Grief is a crazy thing. It’s something that will take over you.
It definitely has taken over Gabi.
ARE THE REMAINS JAMIE?
When you’re confronting the past, you have to accept what it was. Being in the present is difficult because it is the past that shapes you. I believe that is something that all of these characters are dealing with – confronting the past.
We’re seeing just that. Weirdly, Jamie and Sir are being tied together, as if the storylines mean something to each other. We’re looking in the past and the day that Trent thought that he found Jamie’s remains is the same time that Sir ended up in Gabi’s basement.
Trent is convinced that the remains are Jamies and he’s rushing a DNA test. The shoes that he’d found – Margaret is convinced that they are Jamies. Now, normally I would say that that Margaret is right, but I wouldn’t here. It’s before she’s fine-tuned that Margaret thing and that leaves me wondering if she really remembers.
It is because of the remains that had been found that we’re able to see how it is that Margaret changed and what happened in the time surrounding Jamie’s appearance.
We also get to see how it is that Sir started helping M&A solve cases. I have to admit that I was thinking that Gabi would murder Sir, but I was glad to see that she couldn’t do it. Yes, he managed to manipulate Gabi, but I do think that she wasn’t in a mind to know what she was doing.
Gabi needed to have an out – she didn’t know it though. And well, allowing Sir to survive was only for the benefit of the missing. She was going to be the one in control and I do think that is what she needed. Gabi needed to find some sense of control over anything.
Because everything had been taken from her.
The remains weren’t Jamie’s – Sir was right. He kept himself alive.
JAMIE IS BACK
I fully admit that I am a cynic and I am okay with that. I do not believe that this kid has returned from nowhere and has questions. Yes, Margaret is happy and she feels like she’s got her son back, but I am with Dahn. Something doesn’t feel right.
I can understand that Jamie didn’t want to talk just yet. However, that being said, he needs to. He needs to talk because Margaret needs to understand so she can move forward. There is no part of me that believes that this is Jamie. I believe that they want us to think that, but it just doesn’t feel right.
Margaret is so desperate to have Jamie back that she’s willing to overlook a lot. She’s so desperate to want answers and afraid of losing Jamie again. No one wants to see her back at the beach with her toes in the water. She’s vulnerable, focused, and desperate.
Maybe I have become so jaded that I don’t believe in coincidences. Maybe it’s that I’ve watched too much NCIS and know Gibbs’s rules.
When Gabi says that Jamie has a mole on his arm – I figured no harm, no foul on Dahn trying to see if it is there. I guess I thought he was doing the work we all wanted done – proof that Jamie has returned.
Margaret can be mad. That’s fine. She should love that her friends are going to do whatever it takes to make her feel safe and secure.
SIR HAS AN OPINION
Trent asking Sir what Gabi did to him made me sick – if we’re being honest. I know that Gabi was in the wrong but also, I can’t bring myself to feel bad for Sir over it. He kidnapped her and she kidnapped him experiencing PTSD.
I will stand by that.
I did enjoy the flashbacks to what happened the day that Gabi and Dahn took sir. One thing about Found is that it will deliver you answers, but they do it on their own time. You need to remember the clues that were given in other episodes. It’s almost as if you are the detective.
Cause the man upstairs knows that Trent has lost his focus that way.
When Sir looks at Trent in Found Season 2, Episode 12 and says that Gabi didn’t do anything to him, I had to laugh. I laughed because Sir thinks that this is going to give him an “in” with Gabi when that would never happen.
Ever.
As a viewer of Found, I would call BS if the writers ever made Gabi and Sir end up together romantically. I do know that there is always the possibility and I also know that a lot of people would like that. I am all for ships and I know that the ship chooses you. There is just nothing that could get me to choose that.
I will stand by the thought that Sir didn’t mind being kidnapped by Gabi because he didn’t care what capacity he got to be around her. He just wanted to be around her.
There is something about Sir being in jail that doesn’t even make me feel better. It actually scares me.
OTHER THOUGHTS
- Dahn trying to be everything to everyone – I feel bad for him. He can’t do that.
- Sir in the basement and taunting Gabi – ick
- All of Jamie’s questions about M&A weird me out
- Also, what is Jamie asking so many questions for but he won’t answer any?
- Dude peeps, Margaret is going to come for you if you keep messing with Jamie
- Wait, could Jamie be the one working with Sir???
- The Pizza DNA test… Dahn… do better

I agree, that young man is definitely not Jaime. Yes, the timing of his appearance and what is going on with Sir has me raising my eyebrows.
It is interesting and disturbing watching the show tease a Sir/Gabi connection. I think that as is the case with Brett Dalton/Trent, Shanola Hampton has great chemistry with MPG/Sir. However, raising that possibility forcing yourself into the lives of those who repeatedly make it clear they do not want you, is dangerous to put into a real world where deranged stalkers/kidnappers exist. I am #TeamGabiandTrent.
Yes, in my opinion, Sir is more dangerous now, when he appears to be neutralized. We know that Heather is in the mix as a co-conspirator, and the for time being, Jaime might be as well (I’m still convinced that someone with a close connection to M&A has to be involved). His decision not to punish Gabi tells me that his machinations are far from over. In fact, the arrest might have been exactly what he wanted to happen. With the threat of prison no longer hanging over Gabi’s head, and his co-conspirators out there somewhere, incarcerated Sir might be at his most feral and lethal (look how quickly he flipped his kidnapping into remaining close to Gabi, so that he can “help her.”
