I Will Find You spoilers follow.
I Will Find You star Britt Lower has responded to the new Harlan Coben thriller's big ending. Released this week, the twisty series follows a man called David (Sam Worthington) who is wrongly imprisoned for the supposed murder of his child.
However, when he receives information from sister-in-law Rachel (Britt Lower) that his son Matthew may actually be alive, he sets out to find him and get to the bottom of what happened.

After a twist-filled hunt, it is revealed at the end that the person behind the actually-alive Matthew's abduction is none other than Hayden (Milo Ventimiglia), the ex-boyfriend of Rachel, who had supposedly been an ally and confidant.
After seeing the dissolution of their relationship as a mistake, we learn that Hayden was under the impression that Rachel was Matthew's mother, as David's wife Cheryl had used her sister's name at a fertility clinic when they were struggling to conceive.
What to Read Next
Hayden then heads down a dark path in a twisted effort to keep Rachel, concocting a plan to kidnap Matthew and raise him as his own, frame David with the murder of a terminally ill child passed off as Matthew, and plant DNA evidence. He even ties up loose ends with the murder of his own mother, who learns the truth about Matthew's paternity.
The events end in a huge shoot-out, from which Matthew is rescued, Hayden is killed, and David is shot – though the latter manages to survive. Months later, Matthew returns to his family, the series ending with David and Rachel sharing a close moment holding hands.
"I love that the show ends there – in that quiet, reflective moment rather than a neat resolution," Lower told Tudum. "Rachel and David have both been through profound loss and come out the other side with a deeper understanding of who they are and what really matters.
"They showed up fully – for Matthew, for their family, for each other – during the hardest chapter of their lives. That’s a pretty extraordinary foundation for whatever comes next. I think they face it with their eyes open."
Speaking further about the Hayden twist, the star explained: "What’s so devastating about the Hayden reveal is that Rachel has loved him for so long – as a friend, even after they broke up.
"He was someone she always trusted, someone she went to for support. So the fact that he was at the center of it all makes it that much more heartbreaking."
