On the Thursday, January 30 episode of FOUND, “Missing While Misunderstood,” M&A tries to find a missing non-neurotypical boy.
“This episode we are trying to bring home a young man who is doing his best to be himself in his truest form,” FOUND star Arlen Escarpeta, who plays Zeke, previews to Give Me My Remote in the video below. “And he’s being profiled from many different aspects. I think this episode is very, very special because it really shines a light on…what that can look like [when there’s] someone who’s not able to speak for themselves [in a way] that other people [are] responsive to; you never know how that can go and how it can be perceived or what it turns into—or even what it looks like on camera. So I think this episode really shines a light on how we can learn to better see things, not with just our eyes, but…our hearts.”
As the team is trying to find the young man, they have their own looming problem: Team leader Gabi (Shanola Hampton) is due to turn herself in to the police for kidnapping Sir (Mark-Paul Gosselaar).
“I think that clock…has been ticking for quite a while now in the background; now it’s on Front Street, and it’s actually happening,” Escarpeta notes. “With that being said, I think we’re gonna be pushing the limits from an emotional standpoint: How we focus on the job at hand versus how we care about ourselves. And I think that’s the balance that M&A has—how much focus you put on yourself versus the other people.”
“For the longest time, we’ve really been focused on putting our stuff to the side while we really focus on the job at hand, which is just trying to bring these people home,” he continues. “So I think today’s episode is really going to come to a head where we have to make a choice of how do we do both things very well. Something has to give.”
Check out the video for more from Escarpeta, including a preview of an emotional scene between Zeke and Margaret (Kelli Williams), as well as how he stays connected with his co-stars…
