As Shanola Hampton informed TV Insider, Discovered “will provide you with trauma, after which they’ve obtained to retraumatize you with the trauma.” Such is the case for Margaret’s (Kelli Williams) son Jamie (Parker Queenan), who was simply reunited along with his household — he’d been taken as a toddler and informed his mom didn’t need him — just for (what’s now) the penultimate episode of the sequence to finish with Lena (Danielle Savre), Sir’s (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) sister, kidnapping him. (NBC canceled the drama after two seasons on Friday, simply forward of its finale on Thursday, Might 15.)
“It’s a bit completely different this time round as a result of this one wasn’t emotional manipulation, it was a really kind of calculated, particular kidnapping of a particular one that’s not a toddler anymore,” Queenan tells TV Insider. “And so the taking part in subject is somewhat bit completely different than it was, and he’s obtained quite a lot of emotions towards this specific individual, and he’s obtained quite a lot of emotions towards this specific state of affairs, and he positively has quite a lot of emotions towards being kidnapped a second time. So I believe that with out saying an excessive amount of, there’s one thing about his relationship with being kidnapped once more being one thing that motivates him towards taking motion and discovering a method probably to get out or to attempt no less than.”
Previous to that ending, Jamie had lastly reunited along with his father and sisters, after he and Margaret postpone telling them he’d come house. His father, unsurprisingly, wasn’t too happy upon listening to how lengthy he’d been again. Queenan loved filming these household reunion scenes.
“It was nice. It was cool to fulfill my display screen household, and it was actually candy. We really actually did have a very good chemistry, me and my two sisters and my mother, my dad, on the set and the precise taking pictures of it and every thing, it’s very emotional, in fact,” he shares. “It’s a bit completely different than when he got here to see Margaret as a result of when he got here to see Margaret, it was so unsure and it actually wasn’t so clear what was occurring. It was extra of type of hesitant, like, okay, are you actually this individual? And okay, we’ll type of settle for you again in. This one is extra like, no, he’s again. That is really him and that is precisely what you suppose that it’s. And with that, I believe, there’s much more emotion that comes into it, and that was actually cool to shoot, and that was in a bizarre method, quite a lot of enjoyable to have the ability to try this.”
However that wasn’t the primary time he’d seen his household since he was taken. Flashbacks to 2020 reveal that whereas he was out, he noticed his father and his sisters. Earlier than he might decide about going over to them, he noticed a person following somewhat woman and helped her. But when he hadn’t seen that, would he have gone to his household?
“I believe so. I believe possibly he would’ve, as a result of — that’s really a troublesome one,” admits Queenan. “He most likely would keep on the market for some time. I don’t know if he’d decide immediately. I imply, that’s a troublesome determination. Going again to one thing — that will be as robust for him as going again to Margaret, basically every thing must be given up, and he most likely would know the implications with doing that will be forsaking Carrie [Suehyla El-Attar Young] and this different household that he has, this different mom that he has, and it might be an enormous determination for him. However there definitely can be curiosity.”
He suggests: “You understand how I think about it being? It most likely can be a kind of issues the place Jamie would return up and he’d drop one thing and like, ‘Oh, whoops, excuse me,’ and simply see in the event that they discover him. That’s how I believe he would’ve performed it. Would you guys acknowledge me? Type of like, I don’t need to make the primary transfer, however in case you make the primary transfer, then possibly that is barely completely different. However he doesn’t have that chance clearly, as a result of he chooses to do one thing completely different as a substitute.”
