Within the newest hour of Tracker, Colter reunited with some former associates on a case that attempted so arduous to be unpredictable however failed at each flip.
Tracker Season 2 Episode 15 had an fascinating premise, with a fugitive on the run and a corrections officer as a hostage. The place had been they going? What was the fugitive poised to do? What was the twist?
However because the hour droned on, the story heading precisely the place you thought it might be was clear.
Any time Tracker begins with a brilliant in-depth ‘and that’s what you missed on Glee‘ kind of opening, you realize you’re about to enter an hour wherein you’ll want to recollect many key moments from previous episodes.
Since this sequence started, Colter has teamed up with many individuals, and a few have stood out greater than others.
He met Detective Brock throughout Tracker Season 1 Episode 9, and the 2 labored properly collectively. Brock was a regulation enforcement officer who allowed Colter to assist, which isn’t at all times the case, and the 2 shaped a pleasant partnership that helped them discover a lacking lady.
Contemplating issues labored so properly earlier than, it wasn’t shocking that she would name him up when her niece went lacking, particularly since Brock felt the stress and blamed herself for Rachel’s predicament.
Tracker solely reveals us what they need us to see once they introduce the kidnapping or no matter causes the individual Colter’s looking for to go lacking. And that’s for apparent causes, proper?
The entire level of the following episode is to determine what the hell occurred alongside Colter, however how issues lower off proper when Rachel received out of the truck was suspect at greatest.
You couple that with the whole lot Brock was saying about Rachel having it powerful rising up. As badly as you needed to consider that she had turned issues round as Brock insisted, the writing appeared to be on the wall the extra info was found.
For starters, this was a really elaborate scenario, from Justine’s skill to free herself to her seemingly dragging Rachel round along with her to an underground bunker after which to a gasoline station.
Sure, they did have the assistance of a getaway driver, however there was one thing fishy about the entire scenario as every new piece of data dropped.
Contemplating that this all stemmed from the jail, there could be solutions inside these partitions, and I cherished that Colter thought for a couple of moments he would waltz into the jail and resolve the whole lot!
And the way precisely was he going to do this? There was no means that might work, however I have to admit, it might have been humorous to see him strive.
Deciding to ship somebody to the jail was an ill-advised plan as a result of whoever was despatched in was moving into blind, and it wasn’t as in the event that they had been infiltrating a crooked spa or one thing laundering cash.
They had been going right into a harmful place, and so they had one singular guard who knew to guard them if issues went south.
Pay attention, I’ve been on the document stating that I don’t consider Billie and Colter ought to workforce up completely as a result of I’m far more taken with their rivalry, and I nonetheless stand by that after this hour.
However she was the best name for this case, if solely as a result of she’s a fast thinker who can deal with herself. Each time we’ve seen Billie, they’ve confirmed her to be very smart and able to defending herself.
Even so, going undercover in a jail on brief discover with little or no info isn’t one thing everybody may do.
Reenie and Billie’s assembly for the primary time below these circumstances was excellent as a result of they received to dimension one another up in essentially the most difficult scenario.
Billie is a badass, and so is Reenie. It’s straightforward to see that Colter has a sort: strong-willed girls who don’t bend to Colter’s will.
The entire jail plot wasn’t all that obligatory in the long run.
Sure, Billie received herself in entrance of Mama Roach to seek out out that Justine’s stepmom had the cash, and that’s what the whole lot was about. Nonetheless, by the point she discovered that info, Colter and Brock had been already onto Rachel and had the details about the Williams group.
It might not have taken them lengthy to determine issues out, however Billie’s intel saved them a couple of minutes, I assume.
Brock’s reluctance to see the worst in her niece wasn’t born from ignorance however from a spot the place she tried to see the great in individuals as an alternative of at all times seeing the worst, and that’s the form of detective you need on the planet.
She needed to save lots of her niece, in fact, however when it turned obvious that Rachel wasn’t at risk the way in which she thought, I by no means thought for a minute that she was going to assist Rachel escape or do something aside from convey her niece to justice, irrespective of how a lot it harm her.
I cherished the parallels they saved making to this case and Colter’s private life, which, as we all know, the sequence has at all times framed as a sheltered upbringing crammed with lies.
It may have hardened Colter as Rachel’s upbringing did to her, however as an alternative, he selected to take the precious classes he realized and switch them into one thing optimistic when he may have simply used his expertise to do not-so-positive issues.
Colter’s skill to resolve a case in a single day is at all times spectacular. Rachel and Justine’s staying pretty native in a stolen automobile that nobody seen, whenever you’d suppose the entire of that metropolis and surrounding areas would have police checks or SOMETHING was tv magic putting once more.
Justine was a keen participant, however she additionally appeared to have a conscience, not like Rachel, who was form of evil.
The best way she threatened Mama Roach, who clearly had extra cache at that jail than Rachel ever did, felt a bit like desperation, as she felt the entire planning was slipping via her fingers.
Brock having to level a gun at her niece, somebody she’d tried to assist, needed to be such an terrible feeling, and I used to be so glad that scene didn’t devolve into precise gunfire as a result of it might have been powerful for Brock to return again from that.
The Brock and Colter team-up was profitable but once more, however we now have many different cities and cities within the continental United States to hit, so let’s possibly put a pin in Aurora, Vermont, for now.
The hour was at all times going to finish with Colter and Billie in the identical place, and it was by no means surprising that the 2 ended up in mattress collectively.
Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas clearly have a ton of chemistry, and there’s an attraction and pressure between Colter and Billie constructed up over years of mistrust however mutual respect.
However Billie had each proper to be upset with Colter, even when, finally, she selected to go undercover. Colter didn’t drive her into the scenario.
Now that the 2 have given in to a few of that pressure, what’s subsequent?
My cash is on Colter waking up the following day, and Billie may have left, however will this open the door for them to have one thing sooner or later? Or was this a kind of issues they may act like by no means occurred once they inevitably run into one another on one other case this season or subsequent?
We’ll should hold tuning on this season to seek out out! Oh, pleasure!
Tracker Notes
- I don’t know whether or not the sequence thought that mentioning Bobby’s MIA standing within the present’s timeline would hold us glad, but it surely didn’t! Is Bobby ever coming again?
- Although Bobby is sorely missed, Randy stays a vivid spot. My favourite factor every hour could also be how he’s often doing essentially the most random factor when Colter calls. This time, he was shaving!
- Petition to get Velma out of Reenie’s workplace! I’m questioning if we’ll ever see her exterior of there this season.
- This season is headed towards the top, and there was completely no motion on the Shaw Household drama.
This was a mean episode of the sequence, which has been fairly distinctive all through its second season.
What did you guys take into consideration this one?
Have been you excited to see Billie again?
