Spoilers forward for the March 23 episode of Tracker Season 2 on CBS, referred to as “Exodus” and accessible streaming now with a Paramount+ subscription.
Colter Shaw traveled to New Orleans for the most recent episode of Tracker, becoming a member of forces with a devoted native detective to trace down a lacking teen earlier than he was killed like others earlier than him. Luckily, they discovered the boy in time to save lots of his life, and Colter determined to donate the $10,000 reward to the church of the person who had given his life to save lots of one other. There wasn’t a lot time on this episode to dwell on Colter’s previous, however he referred to as again to his difficult childhood in Echo Ridge, California, simply days after information broke that the Season 2 finale will do the identical within the 2025 TV schedule.
After Colter obtained some info from Detective Veach about her childhood in part of New Orleans mentioned to include darkness, she requested about the place his got here from, and his response undoubtedly didn’t contact on all the bags along with his dad, siblings, or the bombshell reveal from the Season 1 finale. When she requested the place dwelling was for her, Justin Hartley’s character instructed her:
Small city in Northern California referred to as Echo Ridge… No cause you’ll have heard of it. Nothing a lot goes on there.
The detective may inform that he was omitting some juicy particulars, however all he would say is that he did “not precisely” go away as a result of nothing goes on there and “You would say that” there’s extra to the story than he was letting on. Veach will possible by no means discover out any of what Colter was making an attempt to keep away from saying because the case of “Exodus” was fairly open and shut, however I take the point out of Echo Ridge as an thrilling signal because the weeks rely down in the direction of the Season 2 finale in Might.
CBS launched an episode description for the Season 2 finale shortly earlier than “Exodus” took Colter right down to The Huge Simple, and it’s not laborious to see why Colter’s quick exposition drop within the March 23 episode made me recall the brand new data. Referred to as “Echo Ridge,” that is what the finale will entail:
Colter returns to Echo Ridge to research a diner proprietor’s disappearance, solely to uncover a decades-old kidnapping and a surprising household secret.
The Season 1 finale, which delivered a This Is Us reunion for Justin Hartley with former co-star Jennifer Morrison as a girl from Colter’s childhood, additionally touched on his difficult previous, which Tracker hasn’t delved into an excessive amount of to date in 2025. It stays to be seen if we’ll study rather more within the remaining 5 episodes earlier than the Season 2 finale kicks off, however the episode was written by showrunner/govt producer Elwood Reid and directed by EP (and one other This Is Us vet) Ken Olin.
I’m nonetheless holding out hope to see Melissa Roxburgh as Dorty Shaw and/or Jensen Ackles as Russell Shaw once more earlier than the tip of the second season, however no less than Tracker has already been renewed for Season 3 in case they don’t make it earlier than the finale airs on Might 11! For now, take a look at the promo for the brand new episode that may air on Sunday, March 30:
