Spoilers forward for Episode 12 of Discovered Season 2, known as “Lacking Whereas Misidentified” and will likely be out there streaming with a Peacock subscription.
Discovered returned to NBC after per week off within the 2025 TV schedule with a few cliffhangers to repay on. Jamie seemingly turned up out of nowhere to reunite with Margaret, whereas each Gabi and Sir had been carted off to jail by Trent. The primary case of the week passed off by way of flashback to Gabi’s first days of maintaining Sir trapped in her basement. This meant Shanola Hampton and Mark-Paul Gosselaar going through off in that basement dungeon once more, and the outcome was an episode so intense that I rapidly understood why the actors had been so enthusiastic about it.
The forged of Discovered walked the press pink carpet at SCAD TVfest in Atlanta, with Arlen Escarpeta weighing in on Discovered changing Legislation & Order: Organized Crime and Shanola Hampton and Mark-Paul Gosselaar sharing their ideas on being nominated for Critics Selection Awards. I took the chance to ask the 2 stars concerning the episode that was set to return to the start for Gabi and Sir, and Hampton responded:
I’ve to inform you about [Episode] 12. This has been my favourite episode to shoot, all through the whole lot of them. Sonay Hoffman, who’s our showrunner, wrote an extremely in-depth, highly effective script that has so many layers. There are such a lot of issues taking place. There are such a lot of balancing acts taking place. For us to have the ability to go and see the origin of this story, I believe goes to fulfill the followers as a lot because it happy me creatively to shoot it. I am actually excited for everybody to see it.
I hadn’t but seen “Lacking Whereas Misidentified” but once I spoke with the celebs at TVfest, however Hampton did not maintain again in hyping the episode and what made it stand out as her “favourite episode to shoot” up to now. Gabi did not have a good time whereas coping with panic assaults and Sir already enjoying thoughts video games simply hours after arriving in her basement dungeon, however that is not the case for the main woman. For his half, Mark-Paul Gosselaar agreed that “it is an amazing episode” and added that it is “very intense.”
In fact, for Gosselaar, returning to the basement dungeon means some uncomfortable circumstances for Sir. For a lot of “Lacking Whereas Misidentified,” he was even gagged and needed to ship a efficiency with out with the ability to communicate. So, what’s it like for the Saved by the Bell alum to return to that dungeon, after Sir had escaped on the finish of Season 1? I requested that very query, and Gosselaar responded:
It is a spot the place I do know that her and I are gonna join. [To Shanola] It is bizarre – it is like after we return there, I do know it is simply gonna be you and I and we’re gonna be connecting. Some actually good work occurs down there, so I am at all times excited to revisit that.
The episode ended with Sir in police custody, so Mark-Paul Gosselaar presumably will not be again within the basement dungeon for some time except Discovered continues with flashbacks, however the twists on the finish of the hour definitely counsel that he is not out of methods. He swiftly took care of the fees in opposition to Gabi by refusing to make an announcement incriminating her, so Gabi was free to reunite with the remainder of the M&A staff – and meet the teenager who is likely to be Jamie – earlier than the ultimate credit rolled.
In fact, that is Sir we’re speaking about, so Gabi identified that he did not do it out of the kindness of his coronary heart, and the episode ended with a zoom in on Sir’s face in his jail cell with a creepy cowl of Animotion’s “Obsession” enjoying. It stays to be seen how Discovered will maintain Sir within the combine now that he is behind bars, and I nonetheless wish to know what’s up with the boy who Margaret at the least believes is Jamie.
Maintain tuning in to NBC on Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET for brand new episodes of Discovered, following Legislation & Order: SVU. The celebrities’ pleasure over Episode 12 does not imply that the depth goes to loosen up shifting ahead, so I am guessing that now is not the time to begin lacking installments.
