Tracker
word of advice : This article hold SPOILERS for Tracker season 2 , instalment 13Tracker ’s second time of year extend its episodic trend this week , with one of the most gratifying episode so far this time of year . While I accurately call that " Neptune " would n’t be make a caboodle of enjoyment of Colter ’s ( Justin Harley ) especial skillset , as it is set in Manhattan , it did contend to introduce an engaging case that make adept utilisation of the whole team , and not just Colter ’s good luck .
The premise for this sequence is a grand one , as the installment starts with a seemingly modal woman vanish seemingly into slender air from within the dressing room of a clothing store . However , it quickly give away that she is actually an agent with an off - the - books government agency involved in counter - terrorism , and Colter might well be in over his nous .
Whilenot quite as pleasurable as " Nightingale " , " Neptune " isTrackerdone right . The episode revels in the complexity of the case , everyone on Team Tracker has a vital character to play , and there aresome elusive affiliation - ins to the Shaw Family Mystery . The one truly disappointing aspect , though , is that Colter does n’t contact his brother to make manipulation of his riches of Black Ops experience . From the moment secret governance goodness starts , Ikept expecting Russell ( Jensen Ackles ) to show up , and the fact that he did n’t was a serious lose chance for the show .
Finally, Team Tracker Gets A Real Chance To Shine
But I Don’t Think Bobby Is Coming Back
While the most recent episodes ofTrackerhave seen Reenie ( Fiona Rene ) get a decent amount of screentime , I ’ve been more and more concerned this might become the Reenie and Colter Show , but " Neptune " does a fantastic job of getting the whole team back in caper . The episode returns to the formula of experience Velma ( Abby McEnany ) regain the sheath for Colter ( and she gets more than a two - line appearance this clock time ) , and both Reenie and Randy ( Chris Lee ) get to put their own skill to use . The two even have a scene together ( via speech sound ) , make Randy a bigger part of the larger squad .
' Neptune ' does a fantastic job of getting the whole team back in turn .
The show is , quite simply , dependable when Colter has other characters to trifle off , andTrackershould keep walking that note between Colter being a one - serviceman show , and make him exclusively reliant on his hacker and contacts . Not all episodes manage to find this balance , but " Neptune " utterly does . The downside , of course of instruction , is thatit ’s get increasingly unlikely that Bobby ( Eric Graise ) is coming back . Randy is now demonstrate his worth , hack into regime figurer with ease , and the more he becomes a central part of the squad , the low-toned the chance that Bobby reappears .
Secret Government Ops Obviously Ties In With The Biggest Mystery In The Show
“Neptune” Ends With A Hint That The Government Is Watching Colter
While " Neptune " function in the first place as a standalone episode , there are decidedly elements that play into the big closed book . Tracker has made it clear that Colter ’s father was involved in some kind of governance conspiracy , so take care Colter investigate off - books political science work is an interesting star sign of how he may deal with this matter down the road .
Of course , this is n’t the first metre Colter has drag in with secret operations , and it ’s worth remark that of the three that focus on this kind of case ( " Neptune " , " Ontological Shock " , and " Off The Books " ) , this is the first that does n’t see Russell Shaw make an appearance . This was the most frustrating missed opportunity of the episode , and it ’s not entirely clear why the choice was made to leave behind Russell out of it .
It ’s possible , of trend , that Jensen Ackles just was n’t uncommitted , as theSupernaturalactor has a jammed schedule act onThe BoysandVought Rising . Still , their team - up has lead to some of the best episodes ofTrackerso far , and his absence seizure in this one was glaring , given the subject .
Tracker follows lone-wolf survivalist Colter Shaw as he navigates the country as a reward seeker. Utilizing his expert tracking skills, he aids private citizens and law enforcement in solving various mysteries while grappling with issues from his fractured family.
This was the most thwarting missed opportunity of the episode
One of the most important moment in the sequence in condition of Colter ’s futurity is right at the end , when Reenie calls him to say she got a varsity letter from the head of this peculiar organization , " thanking Colter for his service " . This could be take at look value . He did , after all , help rescue an agent and take down a betrayer who was selling government activity intelligence service . However , both he and Reenie reckon that this is a veiled threat and a monitor that Colter is being watched . I doubt we ’ve hear the last of Deputy Director Bartholomew .

This mean that " Exodus " could play with ( and create ) some existent conjuring trick .
