[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Found Season 2 Episode 14 “Missing While Matched.”]
Has Margaret’s (Kelli Williams) son come dwelling? That appears to be the case on Discovered, however we’re nonetheless ready for that DNA take a look at.
Jamie (Parker Daniel Queenan), or not less than the younger man saying he’s Margaret son who was taken when he was a baby, is now working at M&A — however he’s going to have protocols in place, since he’s been caught snooping round. He and Margaret additionally go to the bus station from which he was taken collectively (he bought the worker there to raise the restraining order in opposition to her), and he assures her his kidnapper gained’t take one other baby. “They needed me. Simply me. And I gained’t let you know who they’re. I can’t. Please cease asking me,” he says. (That matches with what Margaret has realized: It was somebody near the household, as a result of that individual was capable of steal his toy practice from his bed room days after he was taken.) As he walks away to take some area, she calls him by his center identify, and he turns; he beforehand remarked that it’s simpler to recollect a faux identify if it’s a part of an actual one. This implies that his kidnapper had him going by his center identify all these years.
Under, Williams discusses the very sophisticated state of affairs Margaret’s in proper now, the questions on Jamie, and extra.
Speak about filming the scene of Margaret and Jamie on the bus station — it had been some time since we’d seen her there due to the restraining order.
Kelli Williams: She couldn’t go in, and that was so torturous for her to not have the ability to, that’s the place she type of fed her – it’s nearly like she simply had the trauma bond that she had with the location of the kidnapping or so she thought that that was the location of it. I feel it utterly derails Margaret the concept that she will’t be in there as a result of it’s been her safety blanket, it’s been her neuroses, it’s been all of these issues. So with the ability to then lastly be there with him in that area was… He’s such a beautiful actor, too. It was actually enjoyable to work with him.
On the finish, he says he wants area and walks away, and Margaret calls him Nicholas —
He turns. I noticed that he used his center identify. Sure, there was that second. Oh, yeah. That was loopy.

That looks as if a clue that he’s really Jamie, however till there’s a definitive DNA take a look at, I really feel like there’s nonetheless that query, proper?
Proper, utterly. And she or he was not prepared to go there.
We additionally get that flashback to the press convention, and that’s after we see somebody outdoors holding Jamie’s practice.
Yeah, that was so loopy. I like once they begin to plant these seeds of it being any person that she is aware of who has been watching.
What are you able to say about that person who we see on the finish of these flashbacks? Is that one thing that’s going to be persevering with, like we’re getting little bits and items?
Sure, we are going to completely get little bits and items. There are type of Easter eggs which are form of planted all through round it, which is fascinating, I feel, and notably in flashbacks, as a result of when Margaret was within the throes of him first being lacking and she or he hadn’t developed her Margaret imaginative and prescient talent, she will solely see that — she has tunnel imaginative and prescient in the direction of, “The place’s my son? I would like to seek out him.” And she or he in all probability missed lots of clues. And little by little, because the season goes on, you begin to [get pieces]. And simply the concept that she will’t even fathom who it may probably be… I imply, it’s actually nice when it begins to disclose itself.
We had that nice Margaret and Sir (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) scene early on within the season, which I had been ready for, and he provided to assist Margaret previously with Jamie. However what wouldn’t it take for Margaret to show to Sir for assist?
Properly, that’s the factor that I discover is so fascinating concerning the duality of what’s proper by way of what Gabi’s [Shanola Hampton] selections have been in utilizing Sir, what’s morally appropriate, which is when you take a look at it from a black and white perspective, it’s like, completely not. He can’t provide help to. That’s, one, in opposition to the legislation, and, two, simply immoral to lean on this one who held her captive for thus lengthy for any form of info. However then that very concept that he will get like, “Hey, I may provide help to,” is so manipulative and so form of incredible in storytelling since you then notice that persons are so inclined to [it]. All Margaret desires [are] solutions, and if she thinks that Sir may present a few of these solutions for her, what’s she prepared to do? How far is she prepared to go?
How does Margaret really feel concerning the limits which are being placed on Jamie at M&A and the truth that M&A is partly why he’s staying?
Properly, that’s additionally an fascinating factor for me simply story-wise. One, it’s the needing to have a motive for him to be there, for him to be shut by. Margaret doesn’t need him out of her sights. And I do know that there’s a sure dysfunction in that by itself as a result of she’s so panicked that he’s going to go away once more. So the concept that he’s simply there, that Gabi offers him this “job,” it’s form of odd. However on the similar time, Margaret loves it as a result of which means she might be near him on a regular basis.
He’s additionally barely suspicious of everybody. She will learn him. He’s so reluctant to present any info round who took him. The truth that he’s denying her the reality is, I feel, a bit torturous for her. However then she additionally desires to respect his course of and his trauma. So lots of stuff begins to disclose itself, too, round that by way of, is he in communication together with his captor? The place does he go when he leaves? She desires these solutions. She desires to grasp, however she additionally doesn’t need to push him away. She has to play this little little bit of a recreation of, he’ll inform me when he’s prepared to inform me. However she desires so desperately for him to only come clear and for every part to be okay. However their type of therapeutic path is, as soon as he’s been discovered, when you consider the quantity of trauma for individuals who have been discovered, what do they should undergo so as to course of their — are they completely disassociated? Do they keep in mind issues? Have they utterly blocked it out so as to survive? The psychology of it, I feel, is absolutely fascinating.
He’s [also] nearly blaming her in a approach, although he was taken. However you need to be rescued, after which it’s onerous to not really feel like they’re accountable. They each have their very own guilt, and it’s additionally clearly not his fault in any approach in anyway. He was a baby, however he’s been utterly brainwashed by this individual. To have been taken by such a teenager after which have a lot of your entire early life with somebody who has advised you a unique story, what did the kidnapper say to him about me? Did the kidnapper say, oh, your mother and father didn’t need you? After which as a baby, you begin to consider that; it’s type of Stockholm syndrome that turns into his “protected place,” although it’s not protected. It’s so layered.
Then there’s his curiosity in Gabi, all of the questions on her and his give attention to her…
Proper. He will get hyperfocused on her and everyone’s jobs inside the agency and him watching me the best way that I’ve developed my Margaret imaginative and prescient. I developed that in search of him, and it looks as if he additionally has type of a spidey sense round lots of issues as a result of he’s needed to be hyper-vigilant his entire life.
