Warning: spoilers are forward for Episode 13 of CBS’ Tracker Season 2, known as “Neptune” and out there streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
The newest Tracker case of the week within the 2025 TV schedule took Justin Hartley‘s Colter Shaw to New York Metropolis, with a determined husband by the identify of Logan providing a reward for Colter to find his lacking spouse Clare. Whereas I initially thought that the spouse may need run off and stolen the very pricy gown she’d been attempting on, the case turned out to be far more difficult with spies, secrets and techniques, and loads of our bodies dropped.
Even because the stakes grew greater and better whereas I watched, although, I could not assist however suppose again on Reenie making a suggestion earlier this season that would end in big adjustments for Colter… if he follows her recommendation, anyway. I am unsure that is too possible, and a second between Colter and Logan this week looks like the right setup for Jensen Ackles to return as soon as extra as Russell Shaw and/or Melissa Roxburgh to come back again as Dory Shaw.
Within the earlier episode that aired on March 9, Colter and Reenie shared a meal. What began with some lighthearted teasing about him having pancakes for dinner was him revealing that each time his dad would “have considered one of his episodes,” his mother would make all of them breakfast and “say it was like beginning the day over.” It was an enormous second for Colter to willingly open up, and prompted Reenie to recommend that he give remedy a attempt.
Colter instantly groaned and cracked a joke, however Reenie sincerely advised him that speaking to a therapist helped her notice that what she’d actually needed was to give up her job and begin her personal agency. Colter merely responded “Received it,” which was in all probability one of the best that Reenie may have hoped for on that topic.
Speaking to a therapist would certainly imply large adjustments for Colter, so I am unsure I see it taking place in Season 2, however Reenie’s suggestion mixed with Colter dropping some trivia about his mother and siblings had the Shaw household recent in my thoughts forward of “Neptune” on March 16.
In “Neptune,” Colter needed to heat Logan as much as the truth that Clare had been mendacity to him about some elementary facets of her life, and he was having bother processing that his spouse may have deceived him so successfully. Colter lastly advised him:
Logan, folks can love one another and lie to at least one one other to guard them from the reality.
It is technically not clear if Logan even heard this very Colter-esque nugget of knowledge, since he was kidnapped simply moments later, however it was an fascinating second for longtime followers of Tracker. I can 100% imagine that Colter believes it is advantageous to misinform folks he loves to guard them from the reality, however am not practically satisfied that he’d really feel the identical about someone else doing the identical factor to him.
And that brings me again to what the center Shaw sibling discovered about Dory method again within the Season 1 finale. Colter’s sister had been given a field of their father’s belongings, however uncared for to say it to him in Melissa Roxburgh’s first episode. Tracker hasn’t actually revisited that bombshell within the second season, however Justin Hartley advised CinemaBlend that his character “simply needed to step away for a second and go, ‘Okay, let me collect my ideas” first. Might the time be proper for some extra Shaw household drama, within the wake of Colter lastly fixing the thriller of Gina’s disappearance?
For what it is price, Hartley additionally stated that they’re going to “have her again” and he loves Melissa Roxburgh, so followers positively should not rule out seeing Dory and Colter again on display collectively. Russell already made an look in Season 2 when Jensen Ackles reprised his position again within the fall, however I will not lie – it might be nice to see him once more too. Will I sometime get my want of seeing all three Shaw siblings in the identical episode?
Properly, whether or not or not we see any of the remainder of the Shaw household earlier than the tip of Season 2, CBS already renewed Tracker for Season 3, so time is not precisely working out. For now, hold tuning in to CBS on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET for brand spanking new episodes of Justin Hartley’s This Is Us follow-up, and stream earlier installments on Paramount+.
