Three episodes in, and Found’s second season is already a tangled mess of kidnapping, betrayals, and questionable life choices. “Missing While Lonely” opens with a flash-forward of a battered Detective Trent holding a press conference, hinting at a tragic outcome for Lacey Quinn. From there, the episode ping-pongs between frantic searches, tense confrontations, and Gabi’s increasingly desperate attempts to control a situation spiraling out of her grasp.
Sir, because of course he’s still pulling the strings, engages in a twisted game of cat-and-mouse with both Gabi and his brother, while Lacey’s survival remains a dangling plot thread. The case-of-the-week, involving a wealthy missing woman and her convict fiancé, serves as a thinly veiled excuse for Gabi to manipulate Sir while simultaneously dredging up her past with Trent. Their fragile truce is as shaky as ever, thanks to Gabi’s previous kidnapping hobby.
The episode culminates in a tense standoff at Lacey’s childhood home, where Gabi’s plan to surrender herself to Sir is disrupted by Lacey’s unexpected act of defiance. The final scene returns to the press conference, leaving Lacey’s survival uncertain and Gabi’s future even more complicated. Found seems determined to push its characters to the brink, and at this point, it’s anyone’s guess how much collateral damage will be left in Sir’s wake.
Found airs Thursday nights on NBC.
