Yeah, Found Devotees, we’re back in action! It’s the phase for a blow-by-blow rundown of the happenings in Found Season 2, Episode 17. Opening the episode, we see the ever-loyal pair, Dhan and Gabi locked in her basement, engrossed in unraveling the secret of the mysterious disappearance of a person in Gabi’s basement – a puzzle that has everyone on edge. They’re also worried about Jamie’s sudden disappearance, an issue that even Margaret seems unable to figure out. The shroud of mystery thickens as they can’t substantiate Jamie’s presence or his possible involvement in the mystery person’s appearance.
Without concrete evidence about Jamie’s involvement, the entire situation takes a turn for uncertainty. That doesn’t deter Dhan, he uses his extensive network to apply some muscle to old contacts, trying to acquire more insight for Gabi’s sake. Simultaneously, a concerned Margaret is encouraging Trent to analyse Jamie’s inexplicable absence, fearing his repeated desertions. It in fact is Trent who reveals to Margaret that Jamie might have been at Gabi’s, subsequent to some assumptions about Jamie’s presumed involvement with the whole ordeal in Gabi’s abode.
Far from this rigmarole, an informant cooks up a very interesting plot twist by letting Trent know about Jamie’s recent meet up with Sir. This news takes the thrill quotient a notch up as Margaret decides to meet Sir in the prison. Being his usual brazen self, Sir grills her over her changed relationship with Gabi upon discovering the grave truth. He spills the beans about Jamie’s personal shift in life – a shift towards a brighter household and a newfound love. Taking things further, Sir even agrees to spill all secrets in return of a visit from Gabi.
As one side unfolds one mystery at a time, on the other Heather and Trent share some moments outside the prison gate, contemplating their potential as a couple. Yet, a conflict arises as Trent advises her to quit backing Sir, which Heather dismisses nonchalantly. Despite the tension, Heather proposes to join Trent for drinks later. Back at the office, Margaret’s effort to approach Gabi is interrupted by Montgomery Clark, a man with grievance against Gabi over his past imprisonment. In a severe turn of events, he blames Gabi for his son’s sudden absence and brandishes a firearm, demanding help.
Proving the seriousness of the matter, Montgomery is adamant on not surrendering his gun, forcing Gabi to calm Zeke from calling for police intervention. It further escalates as Montgomery detains them within the premises, talking about his struggling sibling and his inability to care for Jaylen. Upon noticing the surveillance cameras, a panicked Montgomery points his weapon at Margaret, turning an office visit into a threat to life. This ordeal has everyone frightened, including a shivering Zeke who announces his quest for Jaylen, a track that went cold four years ago.
The situation intensifies when Zeke casually mentions Jaylen’s hospitalisation for severe burns, causing Montgomery to become agitated and shoot the surveillance camera. Amid this chaos, he openly discusses his wife’s struggle with postpartum depression and dissociation from their baby. He also admits to resorting to divorce when he realised his wife’s incompetence in caring for their child. Margaret, in response, sympathetically reveals her dedication in aiding Jamie. Despite a momentary respite, Montgomery affirms his innocence, addressing his violent past as a stipulation of when the firearm was used against him.
Simultaneously, Dhan and Lacey approach Jaylen’s wealthy grandparents for help, initially met with refusal due to their perception of Montgomery as cruel. Initially attributing this sentiment to a social class barrier, the duo then learns about the mishap causing Jaylen’s injury – an alleged act of scalding water being thrown on the child by Montgomery. The grandparents confirm having taken over Jaylen’s custody until Dahlia and Jaylen vanished a few months prior.
On the other hand, Margaret and Gabi seek information from Norma, Dahlia’s confidant, and find out Dahlia might have intentionally evaded Montgomery. Norma paints a darker image of Montgomery, causing an irate response from him. Concurrently, the team discovers that Jamie is outside their location, M&A, leading Dhan to dissuade them from entering. However, this fib reaps no result as Jamie identifies his mother’s phone signal coming from inside the building.
Following this revelation, Dhan concedes the truth, prompting Trent to call for backup; Jamie, however, is in a frenzy about his mother being potentially trapped with a dangerous individual. Hearing Jamie’s desperate cries, Margaret makes an attempt to escape, only to be halted by Montgomery’s firearm. Gabi steps in to act as a shield between the gun-wielding Montgomery and Margaret, pleading with him to let Margaret escape. This action results in a tense reunion between Margaret and Jamie outside, leaving Dhan and Trent anxious about Gabi’s situation.
Meanwhile, back in the conference room, an argument brews over a course of action, especially when factoring in Gabi’s possible wishes. Gabi assures them through a feed that their main focus should be the case they’re dealing with. In the midst of everything, Jamie confesses to Dhan that he was at Gabi’s home to apologize for his past behavior, strictly clarifying no involvement with the man in the basement. Dhan, touched by Jamie’s dedication to his mother, trusts him and acknowledges his humane actions.
Further into the narrative, Trent pays a visit to Sir, who throws in some playful banter until he hears Trent inquiring about sneaking into Gabi’s workspace hush-hush. On hearing Trent’s concerns, Sir threatens him to vouch for Gabi’s safety, making a bold statement of life-threatening consequences. In a flashback, Margaret recalls a person who extended a kind offer of familial connection. This person extends a promise to help seek Margaret’s missing individual, emphasizing the values of friendship.
On this emotional journey, Zeke questions how Margaret and Gabi became so close, which leads to the sharing of their friendship journey. The discussion leads to an emotional tear-jerker moment. With a fresh perspective, Margaret advises Gabi to connect with Montgomery. Meanwhile, upon revealing her own painful past with Sir and an empathetic apology to Montgomery, a solution emerges. Montgomery breaks down, revealing that Dahlia was supposed to care for Jaylen the day of the burn accident. He discloses his attempts to protect Dahlia, while also enlightening them about Dahlia’s effort to reconcile and form a family again.
In a sudden turn of events, Trent springs onto the scene, intending to apprehend Montgomery. However, the team intervenes, claiming he committed no crime. They allude to a possibility of Dahlia checking herself into a mental health institution. Upon locating her at a treatment center, Dahlia admits to keeping Jaylen safe away from her parents. The episode winds up with a heartwarming reunion of Montgomery, Dahlia and Jaylen. Montgomery decides to surrender, promising a comeback with a clear conscience. The episode ends with Gabi preparing to take down a newly discovered enemy, Heather, who is identified as Sir’s sister, Lena, setting the tone for the next confrontation.
