There are so many confusing things that are happening on FOUND, and I know that this season is close to its end. But it being closer to the end of the season means that certain things need to start happening. Ends to storylines, set ups for the next season, and characters changing and/or growing. There is the occasional death. But the point is, there needs to be some resolution. The good thing about Found? Well, that would be that Found Season 2, Episode 16 moved the needle along.
And there was so much that had us doing a double take and ask ourselves if we missed any clues.
But that’s the thing about Found – you will miss clues, but you won’t know you are missing clues. You’ll just know that everything in this series has a reason. What that is may take an episode or a season to make its way out, but it will make its way.
Found has managed in this season and throughout its run to make the viewer sit on the edge of the chair and wonder what happens next. But that is not a bad thing. I love that I am not only invested in the characters. There is ian nvestment in the scenery and the shots. I am invested in all of the things that Found has to offer the viewer.
This episode of the show was one of those episodes that you watch and you know that everything is about to change. But what everything is feels a little overwhelming because it was moving so fast and I was afraid of what I would miss.
THE LAWYER AND THE SIR
Can we all admit that Heather is the worst and the fact that she’s totally okay helping Sir is creepy? There won’t go a moment that passes when we see Heather in an episode that I do not think the worst of her. There is something about her that makes me feel like every single time we see her evil has entered the room.
Heather is Sir’s attorney and can we all keep questioning the reason why? I think we all get it when she keeps saying that it will help her – because hey, notoriety, I think. She’s just this person that doesn’t seem to even care about anyone but herself. It’s how she can get ahead. It’s about what she can get out of things.
She’s trying to talk Sir into doing an interview, but he won’t have that. Personally, I can not think of any reason that either of them can be called good people. All I can see staring at these two is that both of them think that they are right about everything, but they are both right about nothing.
She tries to infer that if he doesn’t do certain things, he may not have the cushy life he has in the prison. I am really just wondering, though, what part of being in a prison could ever be considered good? Nothing.
Hugh Evans is a stain on society, and her wanting to protect him makes her just as horrible as him. If you’re a person who is willing to protect anyone who hurts a child, then you’re just as bad. Heather is in the wrong here.
THE PLEA DEAL
Someone please explain to me why anyone would offer Sir a plea deal. I can not wrap my mind around that. Why would anyone do that? The man has terrorized people for decades, so why is it suddenly okay to give him a deal? Hard pass.
I think that Sir would have a hard time taking any plea deal, and that’s because I think he’s incapable of being like, yes, I was wrong. Cause that’s just it – he is wrong. I know you are going to think that I am too hard on some people, but I also don’t understand why any of us would coddle Sir.
Then again, if anyone is surprised that he didn’t take the plea deal, you’re not watching this show closely enough.
When Heather and M&A told Gabi that Sir didn’t take the plea deal, one has to wonder why. Is she trying to say something that she’s not saying? Like spit it out, Heather. People are not able to read your mind.
Heather’s excuses are weak, and her reasons are weak. She doesn’t like Gabi because of Trent. We all get that. Now that she’s Team Sir, you add that into the mix, and Gabi can’t win.
But Gabi will tell her what trash she is, so at least there is that.
THE CLIENT
Gabi finds a woman at the front door of M&A. She said she was there because she saw a kidnapping. There’s no proof, no video, no one reported anyone missing.
But we all know that M&A isn’t going to stop looking for someone – just because of the possibility of someone being in danger and them not doing anything? They aren’t going there.
While I could normally write on and on about the case, to be honest in this one it wasn’t something that I was captivated by. I was more interested in the restoration and end of relationships that happened due to cases that were happening. This one included.
It turns out that the woman at the door was the mother of the kidnapped victim, and she was trying to cover for her son. It was a twist that I didn’t see coming.
What I loved about the case was that the team worked closely with Trent, but also that they invited Jamie in. There is no love lost between me and Jamie, because I don’t understand his fascination with M&A and wanting to be involved in cases. That’s another story though.
Seeing Trent work with the team makes me feel like there is hope there. That he’s not going to just turn his back because he’s mad. Instead he’s going to move forward because he believes in the team. They all believe in him. But the best part of it was in Trent telling off Sir.
When Sir calls Trent to give him “help” on the case, Trent tells him that he doesn’t need it. He goes on about a lot of things with Sir and hangs up before he can say anything else.
What I do admire about Trent is that he has no fear and whatever it takes he’s going to stand on business. I don’t always agree with him, but he agrees with himself, so there we are.
THE JAMIE OF IT ALL
Jamie is starting to let walls down a bit. Something about him this episode made me start to think that Margaret has been right to ask for space for Jamie. Maybe we’re all forgetting that he’s got a lot going on internally, but I also think it’s fair for Margaret to wan to push him for information. It has to be devastating for her to know that he doesn’t want to put the person who took him behind bars.
This episode, Gabi tries to bring Jamie in the circle of trust. Jamie only wants things on his terms, but he neglects to think about how others would have felt and what they went through with him being gone. I have some reservations about this.
I can understand that he’s filled with anger, but he doesn’t really have the right to be mad at Margaret. She’s devoted everyday of her life into trying to find him. She’s given up everything for him and Jamie refuses to give her the ability to heal. There is no shock that she needs answers.
There isn’t an easy solution for Jamie. He’s got to trust people in order to open up to them, and right now, he doesn’t trust anyone. His whole life is a lie, and he’s looking for some sort of truth. It’s hard to really assess Jamie because he doesn’t give any of us any clues to who he is.
He does want to change, and you can see that. It’s just that no matter what he does, Jamie wants to feel that someone is doing something for him. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone.
YOU HAVE A VISITOR
That all being said, I don’t trust him. And here’s why…
Seeing Sir is something that I could go without, but it’s because he terrifies me. But what terrified me even more was what happened at the very end of the episode.
I am not sure how Jamie thinks that going to visit Sir is a smart idea. He’s going to have to show ID and that means that people are going to know that he was there. It’s because Sir says that he didn’t recognize the name, but does the face, there is more happening here than we know.
I am thinking that Jamie was able to get in using an ID with whatever name he’s gone around under since he’s been gone. I am actually hoping this is it, because I think that it would be a good clue for someone to find out who has had him all this time.
If we can find out who has had Jamie this whole time, I think that it would change a lot. I admire that Gabi was willing to step up to the plate and try to make Jamie feel as though he could trust the team.
I just don’t know how anyone is supposed to trust him now.
OTHER THOUGHTS
- Margaret missing dinner with Taylor was wrong. She needs to tell her family what is happening. They have a right to know
- I do love the flashbacks, but it also infuriates me because you see what ppl did
- Lord, I can’t stand Heather – she’s evil
- The guard feeding Sir info. That’s a bad look, dude.
- It goes to show Sir can manipulate anyone
- How that kidnapped victim ended up in Gabis’s basement. Damn, I really think Jamie is involved there
- There is something about Jamie I don’t trust. I am on Dahn’s side here.
First and foremost, Heather is the worst. In some ways, she is worse than Sir because while he is the Devil at your door. Heather is the parasite that enables the activities of the Devil because she feeds off of the pain the Devil inflicts.
Second, I like the double meaning that Sir’s comments about Jamie imply. Does he mean that he recognizes Jaime’s face based on his snooping through the lives of everyone close the Gabi. It could also mean that based on personal interaction, he is very much aware of who Jamie is, he just has never known him to go by whatever name he gave the prison.
Strangely, the pleas deal makes perfect sense on multiple levels. Pleas are not just taken because the DA is concerned the perp might walk (with Sirs ability to charm and manipulate, I can see him BS his statement to a jury), they happen to prevent victims from being subjected to the horrors of reliving and being grilled about their ordeal. Pleas are also sometimes given to criminals just like Sir because the world is full of sickos who will idolize him, thus feeding his ego and making him more of a threat by proxy. Lastly, I’m sure that Trent wants the plea because I bet that somewhere in the deal agreement, there is something that prevents him from doubling back and implicating Gabi in his kidnapping. As Heather points out, Trent is willing to his staunch moral code to the side if it means helping and protecting Gabi.
