Much of Found Season 2 has been about delving into characters beyond Gabi and Sir.
We’ve seen that a great deal, as the season strongly focuses on Lacey in the present and via flashback.
However, one character we continue to gain unexpected insight into is Detective Mark Trent.
If you’ve been following along with our Found coverage, you’ll know how much we’ve enjoyed the season and how passionate we’ve been about the storylines.
And we’re equally excited about sharing an exclusive sneak peek of Found Season 2 Episode 5.
Our exclusive clip features Brett Dalton‘s Trent in a totally new context that piques our interest.
So far, we’ve seen that Trent has been one of the most vocal about Gabi’s misdeeds regarding keeping Sir hostage.
It has severely affected how he views her.
It’s apparent that he’s having difficulty balancing his personal feelings, and the subsequent heartbreak of learning a woman he cares about did something so morally questionable for him by working alongside her in a professional capacity on missing-person cases.
In many ways, this came to a head during Found Season 2 Episode 4, which saw Trent show a vested interest in a case that involved a missing couple comprised of a powerful man and his wife, who was a domestic abuse survivor.
We saw how passionate Trent was about this case and how he shoehorned his way into working with M&A despite young Jay’s reluctance to work with the cops.
Eventually, we learned that Trent was passionate about this specific case because of his personal experience with the topic.
His sister was in an abusive relationship, and Trent spent some time trying to get her out of it, almost by any means necessary; a dark confession from Trent, who has been so morally righteous since we met him.
And now, we’ll learn even more about Trent as the sophomore season continues to explore his personal and family life.
We already knew that Trent seemingly followed in his father’s footsteps by becoming a cop, and now, we’ll get to meet the senior Trent up close and personal.
And if our sneak peek is any indication, Trent’s relationship with his father is fraught.
Found Season 2 Episode 5 is titled Missing While Presumed Dead and introduces another fascinating case for M&A.
In this instance, we’ll learn that Margaret takes the initiative in reopening a cold case from seven years ago that involved a missing teenage girl.
A mysterious, unidentified four-year-old child suddenly appears, prompting Margaret to reopen this cold case.
The young boy is likely connected to the missing teen from many years ago.
It’s certainly an interesting premise to start the installment and the case, and one has to imagine that after seven years of never solving this one, M&A will bring the heat in an effort to do what law enforcement was unable to do nearly a decade before.
With the appearance of Trent’s father, we’re led to believe that if he wasn’t directly involved in this case, he was at least familiar with the lead detective at the time who was.
From our clip, Trent wants to speak to his father about the cop, Hank Edwards, who led the investigation of the missing teen, as Trent’s father was the cop’s T.O. once upon a time.
The implication is that some alcoholism led to shoddy police work, which will cast the law in an unfavorable light as this cold case raises new scrutiny.
In our clip, we get a real sense of the relationship between Mark and James Trent.
James appears to be a charismatic big-timer who impresses others and is someone other officers look up to and respect.
He also comes across as old-school, as he doesn’t seem to understand why the public may be more critical of law enforcement these days.
Father-son tension is thick between them.
Mark Trent may have always struggled to live up to his father’s expectations and is used to his father’s criticism or passive-aggressive observations.
But if the personal tension between them wasn’t fraught enough, James mentions Gabi as well, which clearly gets under Mark’s skin.
