Found: Season 2 Episode 4 "Missing While Perfect" Review



What do I spy with my little eyes? Besides Sir enjoys a boiled egg for breakfast, the man plans to travel. [SPOILERS] Along with books on Russia, China, and Holland we also see passports! For Sir and Gabi. Don’t worry, Sir is also looking for their next home. With a basement. Do you think he will bring his own chains or will that need to be included in his purchase?


With Lacey reunited, Gabi focuses on finding Sir before Trent fulfills his promise to arrest her. What initially seems like a slam dunk, has become a needle in a haystack as Trent is forced to build a case against Gabi. Chief Mallory finds it far-fetched that Gabi made a confession. And if she did, Trent will need a solid case before bringing it to trial. As we know, Mallory has a mentors’ heart when it comes to Trent and his career. So, it’s no surprise when he ask the tough questions - is this about a broken heart? Or breaking the law? Ouch.





As everyone searches for a path towards forgiveness, a new case lands at M&A, a missing couple. Jay, a teenage boy, is worried for his parents. Well, more worried for his mom than the dad apparently. Trent is also at M&A hoping to get more details for his case against Gabi. With his ears perked, he tries to take over but is persuaded by Dhan to leave. We know how effective Dhan can be.


As Trent leaves, who do we spy? It’s Sir outside of M&A. And he is following Trent. Maybe they will go to happy hour and share childhood stories over buffalo wings and beer? Maybe? I don’t think so either.


Margaret and Trent checks out the MacKenzie home for clues. Trent makes another failed attempt in building his case against Gabi and reveals the hurt Margaret still carries. There are no sides in this situation, she says. There is no trust. You can tell it’s heart breaking for everyone involved. Trent, with his super vision, sees a small vent on the floor. When he opens it, fresh blood is inside. What happened in this home?


As Lacey returns to normal…well, a new normal, something remains the same - Sir haunting her. Just like when she was a child. The trauma has painfully lingered as we see flashbacks of Child Services investigating her home and possibly taking her away from her mom. Due to a concussion, Lacey doesn’t remember Gabi’s confession (awkward). And Zeke thinks it’s best not to ruin her joy. She’s back and wants to work. Though, she can’t seem to reconcile if she truly saw Sir on the surveillance camera? Or is he a ghost in her head?





Back at the police precinct, Trent is also focused on the case and wonders if it’s a domestic violence situation. After seeing a file on his desk with her name on it, Gabi warns Trent to leave her M&A family alone. Does this sound familiar? Just me? Okay.


Never wanting to be left out of the fun, Sir also goes to the MacKenzie house to survey the space. Trent also returns to the house and realizes something is off. Could it be Sir? Could the two most  important men in Gabi’s life finally face-off? Could we be that lucky? As Trent walks down the hall, with our heart racing with each step, Sir prepares to greet him. As Trent enters, the room is empty. Sir is gone! Leaving only a note for Gabrielle.


As the M&A team piece the mystery together, the Grandmother admits Sam, the husband, has a temper and she has seen bruises on Kate, his wife. Zeke is able to find some audio and video that helps prove abuse by the husband. Jay is afraid for his mom and it’s at this moment Trent connects with him and shares his story about his sister and her abusive husband. You can hear a pin drop in the room.  


After Gabi reads the letter from Sir, it comes together that Kate is not a victim. She is a fighter. Did Kate kidnap Sam? She would need a controlled environment, and Gabi thinks she knows where - the blueprints from Kates’ social posts. That must be where they are. And true to form, Kate did take Sam there. 


At the hospital, we see Jay and Kate reunited. Heart strings are pulled in every direction. For me, the most impactful moments are when Jay confronts his father and says he is the man mom made him to be.  “Thank you for not making me you. Thank you for not paying enough attention to me.” 





Successfully closing the case, the M&A team has their ritual back in place. Lacey shares that she remembers Gabis’ confession and that “saving lives come first.” Lacey is truly the heart of this group.


Still searching for a path to forgiveness, Margaret wants to see the basement.

Once inside, she looks around and realizes it’s too much. Everything around her floods in and she escapes out of the room. She must be thinking of her son. How could she not.


As the episode closes, we see Lacey and Zeke snuggled sleep-over style on the floor in his highly secured, state-of-the art, home. Nothing can breach it. Right? Wrong!  Zeke awakens to alarms going off and a missing Lacey. Again?! Does Sir have her? Where is Lacey?


We continue the hunt next week Thursday on NBC and Streaming on Peacock.
