I Will Find You Episode 5 recap: David on a quest to find Lenny

The fifth episode of I Will Find You saw David and Rachel trying to find Lenny, unaware that he was taken at gunpoint by an unknown gunman, while searching through Liam Fisher's case files in the previous episode. Thanks to David's familiarity with the neighborhood, the duo managed to sneak through some bootlegging tunnels, but Williams and Greer were still hot on their tail.

What's up with Gertrude in I Will Find You Episode 5?

In I Will Find You Episode 5, Gertrude left no chance of outing Rachel and David. She revealed to Hayden that she had made an official police complaint about Rachel stealing Hayden's gun, which was later discovered in Washington Square Park.

While Gertrude is unbothered, Hayden still cares about Rachel and warned her that he was asked to provide all the security footage from the apartment. However, he deleted the footage, suggesting that he is loyal to Rachel.

Elsewhere, Ronald confessed to lying about the bus accident to see Cheryl, which sent her on a guilt trip as she could have saved her son. While Rachel believes that Ronald is not behind Matthew's kidnapping, Cheryl was spiraling, which forced her sister to show her the Six Flags image and reveal the details about Matthew's whereabouts.

I Will Find You Episode 5 took a turn when Rachel noticed the date on the photograph, which was when Gertrude's company had rented the entire park. Impressed with Hayden's earlier talk, she called him to reveal this new development. Elsewhere, Gertrude met with William's boss, Special Agent D’Souza, hinting at her connection to Matthew's kidnapping.

The concluding moments revealed that Adam was working with Nicky Fisher, who took David to a private airfield with Skunk, where Fisher's plane was waiting to take them to Key West.
