[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Found Season 2 Episode 12 “Missing While Misidentified.”]
Discovered goes again to Day 1 of captivity — for Sir (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) in Gabi’s (Shanola Hampton) basement — within the newest episode, when she was unable to kill him after Dhan (Karan Oberoi) tracked him down for her following her father’s dying.
“Mark-Paul, speak about working with me for 3 days in a row,” Hampton says when discussing being again on that basement set with TV Insider. Gosselaar instantly jokes, “I’m on the bottom for many of that episode as a result of I’m executed carrying Shanola for the previous season and a half. I’m actually a damaged man on the bottom by way of your entire episode, and he or she’s standing above me, and he or she has a lot energy as a result of she’s so contemporary and so renewed as a result of I’ve simply been overwhelmed down.”
Hampton chimes in with, “As you possibly can see, it was not enjoyable in any respect taking pictures these episodes. It actually was good to be again within the basement. However what was actually enjoyable about that’s the crew was glad to be again within the basement as a result of we spent a lot of Season 1 and we had a lot carryover — most of our crew got here again for Season 2 — so it felt like everybody was simply glad and it felt like house cooking. And to be again in that banter with Mark-Paul and to have it so fantastically written by Sonay Hoffman, it’s my favourite episode. I make no secret about it.”
Gosselaar agrees, particularly after directing himself and discovering how onerous M&A scenes are to shoot as a result of glass, variety of actors, and Zeke (Arlen Escarpeta) on the display screen. “While you get to the basement, you already know that it’s simply going to be actually easy storytelling of those two actors within the room. It’s going to be heavy, and it’s going to be darkish. However yeah, you’re proper. There may be this consolation that the crew has of understanding that we’re going to have a reasonably good time. It’s odd as a result of it’s so darkish, however but we’re having enjoyable.”
In these 2023 flashbacks, we see Gabi beginning to use Sir for circumstances, notably the potential for Jamie’s stays being discovered; he helps decide that they’re not Jamie’s. Sir calls out the panic assaults Gabi is having and divulges his, attributable to what his mother put him by way of as a toddler, stopped the day that she walked into his classroom. He turned crammed with a way of objective, and he hopes his presence will do the identical for her. She refuses to ever see him as her motive to dwell and places her gun to his head. However she doesn’t pull the set off; slightly, that is when she decides to make use of him to assist discover the lacking.
Elsewhere within the episode, within the present-day, Margaret (Kelli Williams) has her son Jamie again … perhaps. He doesn’t need to see the remainder of the household simply but, and Dhan has Zeke pull up the bus station footage of the reunion. Gabi, too, worries in regards to the timing: He confirmed up the evening she was arrested. (Gabi is in the end let go as a result of Sir refuses to corroborate her confession that she held him in her basement.) Dhan spills espresso on Jamie so he has to take away his sweatshirt to examine for a mole on his elbow; it’s not there. Dhan then asks Margaret what she noticed when she used her Margaret imaginative and prescient on him (as seen within the bus station footage), and he or she insists she noticed her son. Dhan then takes leftover pizza to check the DNA.

Margaret can’t let herself even assume that the younger man who got here to her isn’t her son. “She’s so overwhelmed with the concept that he’s house that she’s ignoring her Margaret imaginative and prescient,” Williams explains. If it’s not him, “that might simply destroy her. She simply has to imagine that it’s her son. The staff needs to be tremendous cautious round her, understanding what she’s gone by way of. It might be kind of a breaking level for her. I imply, Margaret’s at all times on the verge of some sort of breaking level primarily based on all of the trauma that she’s skilled.”
