It’s a new game of musical chairs as the hunt for Lena continues.
Let's get into Found Missing While A Family.
[SPOILERS]
Tapping into what Sir desires most, the episode opens with Gabi at the hospital under the illusion that Lena made her sick. After Dhan provides substantial proof that she is ill, Sir agrees to help them. Noone is allowed to hurt his Gabrielle. Not even his sister. Sir insists that he must be released to apprehend Lena. Using his FBI contact who he has a history with, Dhan is able to facilitate the request.
Lena has an unhealthy need to please when it comes to Sir. It’s a tragic triangle that makes you wonder if these bonds will ever unravel. Gabi continues to be haunted by Sir and she can’t set free from him, no matter how much good she does. Atonement keeps slipping through her fingertips. Just like Lena, who was able to escape after meeting with Sir. I was not expecting a secret passageway into the hotel room that allowed her to enter without being seen. That was a nice twist showcasing Lena and Sir’s childhood.
In the meanwhile, the long awaited reunion of Jamie and the rest of his family finally happens. Mixed emotions play out as everyone navigates how to interact with each other after so many years. From afar, Margaret looks on as her reunited family reminisce over pictures and reconnect. Making amends for not being the best mother and her daughters understanding why, finally closed the chapter of estrangement between them. However, emotions are still high between Margaret and her husband, especially when he realizes Jamie has been back for days and is staying at a hotel. It’s apparent they will need more time to rebuild their trust in each other.
The case of the week is a missing family from a Jewish Modern Orthodox congregation. Daniel, a friend from Lacey’s law school, asked them for help. With no evidence of a struggle in the home, it appeared the family was taken as they walked to the temple. After gathering clues and doing interviews, it was surmised the wrong family was targeted and kidnapped. The robber/kidnapper said he couldn’t tell them apart and just wanted the money. This was a well-woven episode which opens conversations about antisemitism and the importance of seeing each other with humanity.
In search of atonement, Gabi speaks with the Rabbi for guidance. She needs to break free from the haunting of her sins that looms over her and the ones she loves. He tells her, ”for you to atone, you must decide to never do it again and confess out loud for all to hear you.” Is that the key for salvation?
Furious that Sir betrayed her again, Lena goes after what Gabi holds dear, a member of the M&A team - Jamie! What will Lena do? How will Margaret feel when she finds out Jamie is missing? She just got him back. Tune-in next week for the season finale.
Found airs on Thursday night, Stream next day on Peacock.
