During Found season 2, episode 15, Christian’s name was mentioned. It’s sounds like Gabi and Trent haven’t told them what’s happened to him, making it sound like Gabi was telling a lie after all.

Caution: This post contains some minor SPOILERS from Found season 2, episode 15.

As the M&A Team searched for the missing children from 40 years ago, there was a mention of Sir’s brother, Christian. The last we heard as an audience, Christian had been found dead. He’d taken his own life, and there’s even an autopsy that’s happened. Despite all of this, the M&A Team seem to believe that he is still out there.

Why hasn’t Gabi told the team that Christian is dead in Found?

If Christian is really dead in Found, why hasn’t she told her team? They would need to know this information so that they don’t go searching for him. Right now, many of them believe that he is a threat, someone working with Sir.

In this episode, the team finds out that Sir knew Gabi and Trent had gone to visit the journalist who had written about the missing boy Lawrence 40 years earlier. Someone had encouraged a receptionist at the nursing home to send him a message when that happened, and naturally, everyone believed it to be Sir’s accomplice.

If they think that Christian managed to get the message to Sir, it means they believe he’s still alive. They wouldn’t have brought up Christian’s name otherwise; and they would have agreed that Gabi was right in that it wasn’t Christian all along.

This means Christian probably isn’t dead in Found

Most of us have been on the side of Christian not actually being dead, right? Gabi shared the information so willingly with Sir, that it seemed to be something to throw him off kilter. The autopsy results and discussion in the bullpen could have been a way to trick whoever Gabi and Trent believe is Sir’s accomplice to make Sir continue to believe that Christian is dead.

There’s no reason for Gabi not to tell the M&A Team this update if it’s true. So, by her not saying anything to Lacey, Zeke, Dhan, and Margaret, it means that Christian can’t be dead. We haven’t seen a body, so it’s highly unlikely that Christian is dead, and the latest episode suggests that suspicion is true.

Found airs on Thursdays at 10/9c on NBC. Catch up the following day with Peacock.
