There are few things more difficult in this life, than when we are forced to buckle down and do what must be done to survive while our world is falling apart around us. Sometimes that involves living while grieving and other times, it is quite literally that scenario. Where we fight with everything, we have to keep our day and life together as the sky begins to fall. But we do it because life doesn’t end because of mistakes, pain or whatever else is bringing our world to a halt, and there are bills to pay and people that depend upon us. But that doesn’t make that process any easier or any less emotional and it is top of mind today since it was featured in the next episode of Found on NBC.

For ‘Missing While Hated’ showed us a team in disarray. For instance, Margaret was still struggling to get back to the bus station and that was her prime focus, while Dahn was dealing with the fallout of Ethan’s disappointment over the fact that he lied and even Zeke, was fighting tooth and nail to try and figure out what kind of trouble they were going to be in with Trent. Not to mention, Sir was stirring the pot as well, by posting videos defending Gabi and that of course, brought people out of the woodwork to speak upon the past and try to discredit Gabi and well, it was simply chaos surrounding the team. But they had to press ahead as one. Because people needed them, especially an individual that was worried about another named Rahn.

Who was a journalist in the making and was working toward exposing something big within the city, before they of course, went missing. Which meant the team had to put aside differences to get that person found and that led to a fascinating case, where nothing was quite what it seemed. Since nothing added up here, in fact, every path toward the truth was nothing more than a dead end. Which made it seem as though, Sir would be back in the mix. To the point where he even reached out to Zeke in an attempt to get into the meat of the case. But all roads were shut down regarding his help, because the team had to learn to do this without him, and eventually, they came to realize, the least likely suspect was the person that did this.

Because the exposé would have showcased the pain the suspect was suffering in this matter, and rather than show the world that story, they thought it easier to hide Rhan away. But thankfully, Rahn returned home and did some real good with their work and just like that, the team had a moment of real celebration at hand. After all, they were able to do this while battling internal demons and battling adversity, without Sir no less. Making it seem perhaps they would move beyond the chaos. But alas, despite winning the day and finding ways to support one another, one of Zeke’s choices came back to bite him hard. Since Trent and the police seized his servers and sent him into a tailspin emotionally, leaving us to wonder if he will be okay and if this might relate to Sir in some capacity as well.

Since we learned he has an inside man at the company, and they are also keeping Sir out of jail and well, in the end, this was quite the chaotic episode for certain, and that is a compliment. Since it perfectly captured the madness of life when our world is falling apart, and things are just not good at M&A. Because everyone is following their own agenda and everyone is barely hanging on, and this felt akin to that chaos and set the stage for some serious conflict. Because now these good folks are fighting to keep going on multiple fronts, since the police no longer trust them and Sir is sowing chaos and it will be interesting to see if they can unify and work toward common goals in the weeks to come or if serious changes is on the horizon. Until next time.
