I’m Sorry, however ‘Tracker’ Season 2 Isn’t Dwelling as much as the First Season
‘Tracker’ virtually looks as if a special present in Season 2, abandoning the overarching story, lacking characters, and turning into extra violent.
Elsewhere within the lodge, Colter follows breadcrumbs and spots Claire. He corners her within the underground car parking zone, the place she reveals the reality. She found her boss, Eileen, was promoting delicate data. Claire was solely spared, however she later found when agreeing to satisfy with Eileen that two individuals have been wanted to authenticate the repositioning of a satellite tv for pc. Eileen swears that is her final job, and as soon as Claire helps, she’ll by no means see or hear from her once more. If she doesn’t assist, nonetheless, Logan will probably be killed.
Colter does what he does finest and saves Logan and Claire within the nick of time, after which Claire calls within the breach to Eileen’s boss. She has by no means met the person however is aware of his identify is Deputy Director Bartholomew. Later, Reenie calls Colter, uncertain if he ought to really feel good or be involved about one thing she has acquired. It’s a letter thanking Colter for his help, signed by Deputy Director Bartholomew. She asks if Colter acknowledges the identify and means that she isn’t certain if the tone of the letter is real or a veiled warning.
How Deputy Director Bartholomew May Be Linked in ‘Tracker’
Some followers suppose that this gained’t be the final viewers hear of Deputy Director Bartholomew, and this man (and even lady?) may develop into an on-screen character in some unspecified time in the future. In the event that they have been additionally the disguised voice who known as Colter, they may have been watching him for a while or not less than know who he’s. That isn’t far-reaching for a high-level authorities official, who may have him recognized quicker than Bobby (Eric Graise) or Randy (Chris Lee) may. One principle is that he could possibly be the pushy man on the street who tried to promote Colter tickets to his magic present. The person distracted Colter lengthy sufficient for him to overlook Claire and Eileen leaving the restaurant the place he was surveilling them. The timing was too good, and the scene too out-of-place to have been a mere coincidence.
What does this must do with Ashton? There have been theories about Ashton’s potential involvement in authorities or spy work. Some followers consider that Ashton’s paranoia, which led him to maneuver his household off the grid when Colter was a teen, was warranted as a result of he was both concerned in or caught wind of one thing the federal government was secretly doing. He was later presumably killed to stop him from digging additional or revealing the reality.
Whether or not his spouse Mary (Wendy Crewson) had something to do with it’s up for debate. Some suppose that she is the one who was/is a spy and maybe may even be Bartholomew. It’s fascinating that Deputy Director Bartholomew is barely recognized by their surname, in spite of everything. An alternative choice is that Bartholomew is the particular person behind Ashton’s dying within the first place or not less than had some function in all of it these years in the past. It is also price noting that whereas Eileen was doing one thing nefarious, promoting secrets and techniques to potential enemies and third events, it’s attainable Deputy Director Bartholomew was in on this plan, which is why they needed Colter to cease attempting to cease it.

We Lastly Know The place This Lacking Character From ‘Tracker’ Season 2 Is
First, Robin Weigert left ‘Tracker’ as Teddi, and now, one other predominant character is MIA. The explanation for his absence has been confirmed.
One indication that every one however confirms Ashton had some degree of involvement with the federal government got here in Season 2, Episode 2, “Ontological Shock,” when Colter and his brother Russell (Jensen Ackles) solved a case that took them to a secret authorities black web site. The supernatural-themed episode concerned the examine of alien life kinds. “Your father requested too many questions,” one man tells Ackles on the web site, indicating that he knew precisely who Russell was and knew Ashton as properly.
Thus, Reenie’s instinct could have been appropriate in that the letter was meant to let Colter know that Deputy Director Bartholomew is watching, he’s conscious of what Colter has executed, and is aware of what he will probably be doing ought to he dig any additional into this case. Colter doubtless gained’t, in fact, since he solely handles lacking individuals circumstances anyway and at all times strikes on to the following as soon as he will get his test. But when Colter catches wind that this case or particular person has something to do along with his father, he’ll undoubtedly pursue it additional, regardless of how harmful the stakes.
This Mysterious Particular person May Be the Lacking Hyperlink
Regardless of the case, followers hope to listen to extra from, and finally see, the mysterious Deputy Director Bartholomew. It will be a disgrace in the event that they have been only a one-off voice on the opposite finish of the cellphone that Colter by no means hears from once more. In a Reddit dialogue on the episode, Redditor The_Swarm22 opines that they doubt it’s the final followers have heard of this character. “Really feel like he’s behind or one of many individuals concerned in his father’s dying. Felt very very like a veiled risk Colter acquired on the finish there.”
Diamond1441 provides that they suppose the “intelligence company and household plot are literally associated,” including that Logan is an aerospace researcher, which is likely to be why he was Claire’s mark (though she denied that he was). May Ashton have been a mark, too? The truth that Tracker added a case a few clandestine authorities group to the present appears intentional, in comparison with a standalone, distinctive case. This, tied with the occasions in “Ontological Shock,” suggests there’s an even bigger puzzle being pieced collectively, little by little.

The Largest Variations Between Tracker and the Novel It’s Primarily based On
The recognition of Tracker has led audiences to surprise in regards to the present’s origin.
Actually, wanting again, different circumstances could have offered refined hints piecing the story collectively, too.
