'Found' Season 2 Episode 18 "Missing While Heather" Review

A snow storm, a traitor and an executioner’s boyfriend.

It’s a perfect night for chaos and the writers of Found unleashed a cascading storm on our M&A friends. As everyone races to confirm Heather’s true identity, Margaret continues her search for who took Jamie. What memory did Sir uncover in her mental rolodex? Is it someone from her flashbacks? And where did this snowy-storm come from?

[SPOILERS]

The final puzzle piece confirmed that someone close to Margaret took Jamie. It was Carrie, a friend she made at the bus station who helped her pass out fliers to find Jamie. Carrie gave Margaret a picture drawn by her little boy and said it was a symbol of hope that Jamie will be found. “The clouds will always part. You just gotta give it a minute,” Carrie said in a flashback. With a quiet fury, Margaret invites Carrie to her home. 

“I keep my promises….Carrie, my son, my baby boy is home,” Margaret tells her. I must say, I was not expecting a lovely table with tea, macaroons and Jamie’s toy train during this confrontation. Margaret is so patient for a confession, she pulls out a scrabble board and they play in candle light due to a power outage caused by the storm. Giving Carrie a nudge, Margaret spells Traitor on the board. As she tries to deflect the allegations, Carrie WHACKS Margaret on the head with a bottle. Carrie admits taking Jamie because her son died and god gave her another one. She saved his life from Margaret who was ungrateful. 

For a moment you feel for Carrie, but in true Found story formation, you can’t forget this woman took another mother’s child. And ultimately destroyed Margaret’s family. Jamie arrives and sees Margaret on the floor. Carrie tries to persuade him to leave with her but he chooses to stay and calls for help. “My name is Jamie, not Nicholas,” he said. A great glimpse into his relationship with Carrie and the pull he has toward Margaret to not leave her alone. This young man has a lot of healing to go through.

At the prison, Sir realizes Heather’s cover is blown by Margaret and that she should leave town. Heather/Lena is just like her brother and believes Gabi Mosely is not worthy of him. “You want to sacrifice me for her. Your precious Gabrielle is responsible for destroying the only family I have left. I’m not running and you can’t stop me from doing what needs to be done.” How far will Lena go to save Sir from his obsession with Gabi?

Sir gets another visitor, one he has been eagerly waiting for - Gabrielle. But she is not alone. She brings Ethan with her (aka the executioner’s boyfriend). As Gabrielle asks Sir about Heather, the power goes out and the prisoners are set loose. Sir has only one goal and it’s to protect Gabrielle from harm. Complete chaos swarms around them, but Gabi only wants to get to Ethan and make sure he is safe. 

“You took my penance from me”

Gabi says to Sir. “Maybe I owe my life for what I did…maybe death is the only way for me to rid myself from you.”  Sir continues to be a cloud over Gabi she can’t cut loose. And though he refuses to let anything happen to her, Gabi is willing to sacrifice her safety for Ethan and Dhan. She cannot bear the thought of bringing any more ache to her team. Lucky for them, Dhan had inside contacts who were able to rescue Gabi and Ethan.

After a lengthy wait, we finally see Lacey and Zeke back in the same space, alone. The anticipation my dear friends have been building and to finally see them kiss again was oh so worth it. Did anyone else have a goofy smile while kicking their feet a little? As the power goes out during this sweet moment, it activates Zeke’s agoraphobia (fear of places and situations that might cause panic, helplessness). During his panic, Zeke shares he didn’t get a generator because he  was distracted and now he is disconnected from the world. Lacey tries to support him but Zeke can’t hear her. 

We were so close to see what would be between these two, but happily ever after has been pushed further away. With the power back on, Lacey asks, “how can we start a relationship if we can’t talk about what you went through.” Zeke says he had a moment and if Lacey can’t respect that maybe they should stay apart. And with that, Lacey puts her key on the table and leaves. 

As the episode closes, we see Gabi crawl into bed with Margaret at the hospital. “I finally found the monster,” Margaret said and she released all those years of who took Jamie from her and why. Back at M&A, Gabi reaches out to Ethan for an emergency session. As she leaves, the real Heather Tollin Rogers appears at M&A. Lena is really Sir’s sister. But where is she? 

NBC airs on Thursday nights, stream next day on Peacock.
