One particular concept that humanity has always struggled with, is that of unity. Which may seem like quite the strange sentence to read, since one can immediately recall moments where people around the globe have come together to help each other and do the right thing. But those moments are few and far between and in reality, we tend to act in our self-interests over anything else. Which doesn’t make us bad in the slightest, just emotionally immature as a species and a tad closed minded when it comes to looking at the bigger picture, and that is important to point out. Because we should be thinking upon the fact that if we truly unified and truly opened up to bigger ideas… we would accomplish wonders untold. If anything, our struggles with unity and what it could accomplish if we truly adopted it are top of mind today, simply because they were the focus of this week’s episode of Found on NBC. For ‘Missing While Outed’ saw the M&A team reflect upon their divided journey this season and find value in unity, in between handling quite the unique case. Wherein they were called to the local college to help a family find their missing son. Who was outed during Rush Week via video, and potentially in harm’s way for that, thanks to a supremely unhelpful and homophobic campus. But the fine work of this team, allowed for others to find agency and honesty with who they are before rescuing the young man from the middle of nowhere. For in an effort to tell his parents about his sexual preference before a video informed them, he rushed home and got into an accident so bad, he was injured and unable to communicate for help. Which is all we will discuss regarding the case of the week. Simply because… a dark day was descending upon M&A. For shortly after someone scared Sir hard enough to prompt him to run from Trent’s place, the police made it clear… that the time had come to bring Gabi in for her crimes. For now, the situation was getting out of hand and Gabi felt she was ready to atone. Because the team was healing and finding some measure of unity again, so it would be fine if she stepped away and stepped into a jail cell. A reality that stunned the team and left them wondering what tomorrow would look like and well, the possibility of losing Gabi and the stark words that came forth from Gina in this episode, made everyone, including Trent, understand that they had not achieved true unity, they were merely on their way because they were still battling demons and projecting emotions to the wrong places. Such as focusing all their fury at Gabi. Who yes, screwed up with her actions, but did her best to keep everyone afloat while taking heat for her mistakes because of how much she cares for them and that had to count for something. And that, combined with the realization that Sir was growing more powerful while the team was divided helped everyone to understand the importance of acting as one. Of supporting each other, and lifting each other up, and doing everything possible to keep Gabi out of jail for a mistake. Because they too made some tough emotional mistakes this year and we all deserve some grace for our missteps. That allowed for the team to accomplish wonders to keep Gabi out of jail and hopefully keep Sir at bay. Which could not have come at a better time, since he was in the final stages of executing his plan to kidnap her again and nothing was going to stand in his way. Not even family, since he beat his brother down to keep his plan in motion. All of which sets the stage for quite the battle between Gabi and Sir. One that will be difficult since he has had lots of time to plan and that’s dangerous for certain. But before we ponder upon how Gabi will stand up to him this time around, we can celebrate one lovely tale. One that really did showcase, that when we worry less about our own world and immerse ourselves in a shared vision, we can indeed accomplish anything. For we can learn and grow and move forward in a manner that keeps people thriving, and that made for a beautiful tale for certain. One that we can all take something away from and relish in its wonder, for a brief while at least. Because clearly, the time has come for Gabi to face off against the greatest pain in her life, and it will be fascinating to see if Sir can accomplish his goals with a unified front behind Gabi. Until next time. Watch ‘Found’
