The first episode of Found season two throws viewers right back into the chaos, picking up exactly where the season finale left off. The tension is palpable as Sir, the sinister captor, escapes, Gabi is in full panic mode, and the threat to Lacey feels more real than ever.
Gabi’s decisions from the previous season cast a long shadow over everything. She kept a huge secret from her team—she had Sir locked in her basement for nine months—and now it’s come back to bite her. This isn’t just about catching a criminal anymore; her actions have put everyone she cares about in danger. Lacey is missing, Zeke is poisoned, and Dahn is forced to dive deeper into the mess Gabi created. Sir’s escape has set off a chain reaction that threatens to destroy not just her friendships but the trust she built with the people who were like family to her.
The scenes are intense from the start. Zeke’s discovery, unconscious and poisoned, is a punch to the gut. By the time the ambulance arrives, the audience already feels the heavy consequences of Gabi’s secret. And while Gabi races against time to save Lacey, her team is struggling to cope with the betrayal. Margaret is furious, and it’s clear that while Gabi’s intent may have been to stop Sir for good, the ripple effects are devastating.

The episode masterfully weaves together past and present, using flashbacks to 2003 when Gabi and Lacey first escaped Sir. These moments add emotional depth to the ongoing tension, especially for Lacey, who was never truly free of Sir’s grasp. In the present, we see Sir, cold and calculating, washing blood off his hands and altering his appearance. He’s a step ahead, and Gabi knows it. Her desperation to fix what she’s broken is tangible, but she’s also dealing with the fallout of her choices. The trust she once had with her team has been shattered.
Gabi’s secrecy is catching up to her. Detective Trent, who had been a solid ally, learns the shocking truth—she had Sir locked up, and she was using him to help solve cases. The emotional fallout from this revelation is explosive. Trent feels manipulated, betrayed, and furious, especially since he was willing to risk his career for her. His confrontation with Gabi is raw and charged, with him drawing the line: she has 72 hours to find Lacey before he turns her in. It's a stark reminder that even if Gabi manages to save Lacey, there’s no guarantee her relationships will ever be the same.
Meanwhile, Margaret’s search for Lacey is gripping. Walking through the ransacked house, seeing the blood, and finding cryptic clues left behind by Sir is like piecing together a dark puzzle. Sir is playing his sick game, leaving breadcrumbs for them to follow. And while Gabi explains Sir’s obsessive nature—his need for control and cleanliness—it’s clear that this game isn’t just about Lacey; it’s about tormenting Gabi.

As the episode builds in intensity, Gabi’s isolation becomes more apparent. Her team, the people who once had her back, are now questioning everything. Margaret and Zeke feel betrayed. It’s not just a fight for Lacey’s life; it’s a fight for redemption, for earning back trust that might be gone for good. Gabi is paying a heavy price for the choices she made in secret. The question remains: even if she finds Lacey, will she be able to repair the damage with her team?
In the final moments, Sir’s sinister game escalates. Lacey is tied to a chair, forced to confront her greatest fear—Sir’s presence over the years wasn’t just a nightmare, he’s been stalking her all along. His calculated decision to target Lacey instead of Gabi adds another layer to his twisted motives. It’s clear he sees Lacey as the key to breaking Gabi, and the power dynamic between them is chilling.

Whether things will ever be the same remains to be seen. One thing is certain: Gabi is dealing with the full ripple effects of her choices, and the path to redemption may be harder than finding Sir. Found season two is pulling no punches, and it’s clear that the fallout from Gabi’s secret will be felt for a long time to come.
