I Know What You Did Final Summer season met Tracker on this twisty hour, throughout which Colter tracked throughout an exquisite Pacific Northwest park looking for lacking campers.
Generally, I couldn’t even give attention to the dialogue for a second due to how picturesque the panorama was on Tracker Season 2 Episode 6.
However this was one other thrilling hour in what has rapidly change into a quite pleasurable second act for the action-drama sequence.
Sophomore slumps are a really actual factor on the planet of tv, and there’s nonetheless a whole lot of Tracker left to go this season, however up to now, the instances have been overwhelmingly intriguing for essentially the most half, even when among the first season struggles are nonetheless current.
Everybody else besides Colter and Rennie are nonetheless being sidelined, possibly much more than earlier than. Nonetheless, there’s been one thing inherently contemporary and thrilling in regards to the instances, locations, and other people Colter has been assembly this season in his quest to trace lacking folks and declare his rewards.
Not each hour has been a house run, but it surely’s been enjoyable. And that’s all you could possibly really need from a present like this.
The lacking campers saga introduced Colter to a park the place a gaggle of pals mysteriously disappeared after an evening of consuming and discuss of drunk mountaineering out to a waterfall underneath the tremendous blue moon.
We may see that somebody was watching them, so it appeared poised to be a case through which Colter would finally discover on the market was some madman within the woods searching folks for sport or one thing of that nature, and that did appear to be the way in which issues have been going when Colter met Keaton.
If Reenie, Billie, or Russell are usually not obtainable, Colter usually meets somebody in legislation enforcement who finally ends up serving to him in a method or one other, even when the connection borders on contentious at finest.
Keaton was legislation enforcement however of the retired selection. He was out within the park chasing a chilly case that he couldn’t shake, even in retirement. After the preliminary male posturing, the 2 found that they had way more in widespread than not.
Colter doesn’t precisely give off vibes that he’s searching for firm at any given time, however as soon as the 2 males talked, it turned obvious that they may assist each other.
Colter is aware of all about chasing demons from the previous, and the similarities between the 2 instances have been too sturdy to disregard.
Keaton was an old-school cop and the sort of man who would by no means be capable to relaxation figuring out that there was work to be completed on one thing he had promised to do. Irrespective of how a lot time had handed, the drive to resolve this case by no means left him.
He would have by no means been content material to surrender as a result of he’s not wired that means. Sound acquainted?
Colter’s a lone wolf via and thru, however his partnerships are often good, particularly in situations like this one, the place he and Keaton had a lot in widespread.
There was so much unsaid between the 2 due to a right away connection. They have been digital strangers, but it felt like they’d recognized one another for years in how nicely they labored collectively.
How they noticed a bullet and the way in which it hit a rock and have been in a position to decide exactly the place it was possible shot from is an acquired talent, and as soon as they stumbled upon that camouflaged shack, they have been proper on high of the shooter.
It was means too early within the hour for every thing to be wrapped up neatly, however who guessed it will go so very spectacularly off the rails?
Marcus could have been Keaton’s man, however he wasn’t who Colter was after.
Colter and Keaton assembly on that mountain was a blessing, even when it happened from one thing tragic. Marcus would have continued his rampage on the individuals who dared to step foot onto the mountains if it hadn’t been for them.
Marcus gave Colter the little nugget of knowledge he wanted to start out breaking the case vast open when he mentioned the buddies appeared like they have been able to kill one another, and all he needed to do was sit again and watch.
This was such a curveball, however when issues began to fit into place, my first thought was the 90s horror traditional starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar as a result of anytime folks begin speaking about masking one thing up from years in the past, my thoughts goes to a person in a slicker and Jennifer Love Hewitt screaming so much.
The buddies having run over a person whereas drunk driving after which disposing of his physique solely to go on with their lives for 8 YEARS like nothing occurred is a quite insane factor to consider, however Coop’s conscience turned too loud for him to disregard.
His conscience was at all times in play since he had been paying Natalie for years, although he could not have really had the means to take action.
Clearly, he was not content material to die together with his sins, however apparently, he went to Jason and Monika, hoping they’d additionally really feel the identical means he did and need to come clear whereas figuring out that wasn’t very possible.
Jason and Monika clearly had moved on and have been at a spot the place they weren’t ready to break every thing that they had crafted through the years.
They have been the individuals who bought away with homicide and have been okay with that — chalking it up to a school mistake.
However Coop was the one who bought away with homicide however couldn’t ever settle for that. He tried to make his amends via financial means till that was not sufficient to assuage the super quantity of grief he felt.
I stored pondering that one in all Jason or Monika would come round and agree with Coop, however that was not what was occurring in that condo. Coop could not have meant to kill Jason, however I’ve little question the couple would have killed Coop if he hadn’t made a transfer.
With the duvet of all of them going lacking whereas out on a hike, as soon as Jason and Monika bought into that laptop, they may have deleted the e-mail, deleted Coop, after which disposed of his physique the identical means they did Brian’s.
That was one messy and diabolical couple. They might have made a mistake initially, however from there, they confirmed no regret and have been prepared to compound the tragedy with much more ache to maintain the life they created.
How Monika was in a position to wrap up Coop’s physique, drag him out of that condo, and cargo him up into the automobile with nobody seeing or a digicam catching them defies logic, however that’s additionally why we didn’t see any of that.
All the pieces led to Colter and Keaton discovering them on that dock, although Coop being alive in any case was actually a twist!
Once more, Monika was two seconds away from killing him, and she or he wouldn’t have thought twice about it. Killing to guard a secret is a story as outdated as time.
Colter and Keaton teaming as much as save the day was actually a spotlight, and I admire them lastly discovering somebody on one in all these instances that Colter can join with past only one case.
Justin Hartley usually has such nice chemistry with everybody, and I can suppose of some folks he’s linked with that I wouldn’t thoughts seeing once more.
Tasking Keaton with trying into Gina’s case ensures that can come again round, and I like how they selected to intersect that case with this one.
Colter usually lives previously; clearly, Keaton does, too. Whereas we are able to debate whether or not that’s wholesome or not, what it’s proper now’s actuality. So, why not use each of their chilly case obsessions and switch them into one thing good?
Tracker Notes
- Not sufficient Velma. Not sufficient Bobby. Free them from their telephones and put them into the thick of the motion SOON!
- Sorry, however Colter and Reenie actually do stay the superior potential ship. They sit throughout from one another, sipping champagne out of a mug, and I giggle and kick my toes.
- That waterfall was breathtaking. They’ve visited some really beautiful locations this season.
- Are there any plans to maneuver the Shaw Household drama ahead? I have to admit, the tales have been so good that I’ve been occupied with it much less and fewer, however I nonetheless don’t need them to get so far-off from it that we overlook it exists.
