‘Tracker’: Colter & Billie Share a Major Romantic Moment, Plus Update on Bobby
Spoiler Alert
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Tracker Season 2 Episode 15 “The Grey Goose.”]
Colter (Justin Hartley) calls in the favor that Billie (Sofia Pernas, Hartley’s wife) previously said she owed him in the latest episode of Tracker — and it all leads to quite the romantic moment!
Detective Helen Brock (Diana Maria Riva) calls Colter when her niece, a prison guard, is taken hostage by a prisoner, Justine, who escaped during a transfer to a hospital. (She also deputizes Colter; it’s the only way he’ll get paid since the police department doesn’t do cash rewards.) When it becomes clear that Justine was working with someone in the prison — a fight was staged to get her on transport van, when guards are most vulnerable — Colter volunteers to go in undercover. But since it’s a women’s prison, he calls on Billie to go in to find out if Justine’s cellmate is working with her.
“You trust her?” Brock asks. “If there’s information, she’ll get it,” Colter promises. Brock asks if she’s a friend, and he hesitates before saying, “Yeah, sure, yeah, friend.” (Abby McEnany‘s Velma later laughs off Fiona Rene‘s Reenie calling Billie Colter’s friend, too: “I’m not sure I’d call her that.”)
Soon come the twists: Rachel is actually involved and in fact is the one after the money that Justine bragged her stepmom has stashed. Brock doesn’t want to believe it at first but is the one to arrest her niece. She doesn’t know how she missed the signs, she admits to Colter, but he knows people have blind spots when it comes to family. Having faith in people is a strength, not a weakness, he tells her.
Meanwhile, in the prison, Billie has to fight to prove herself — first as guards look the other way, then when the inmate running things, Mama Roach, questions her story. Justine’s cellmate attacks her, and Billie fights back, then calls out for the only guard who knows why she’s there. She’s safe, but as she points out when Colter visits her in her hotel room, “You pretty much owe me for life now.” It got a little real in there, she admits. He says he shouldn’t have put her in that prison, and he apologizes. That’s when she kisses him …. which was inevitable given the characters’ past and their interactions every time we’ve seen them onscreen together.
But can these two rewardists make a relationship work considering they’re both on the road and their complicated history? Or will it just be something casual when they happen to be in the same place? (The latter seems more likely, if you ask us.)
Meanwhile, Bobby’s (Eric Graise) been dealing with family stuff, and his cousin, Randy (Chris Lee), has been helping out Colter in his absence. This episode offers a bit of an update, with Colter asking if Randy’s heard from Bobby. “No, man, you know how he gets. Doesn’t like to talk about personal stuff,” Randy says. Colter knows his friend’s funeral is this week. “I know that’s hitting him hard. They were like brothers, man,” Randy tells him. Colter has texted him but hasn’t heard back, so he figures he’s just taking some time. Randy assured him, “He’ll get back to it. And if he doesn’t, I’ll make sure he does. No way out but through.”

Eric Graise continues to be listed in the principal cast of each episode. Kinda curious as to what they're really covering for but it may be none of our buisiness.

I thought that final scene was sorta cringe. Luckily it didn't quite cross the line (of 'sex as payment or peace offering').

Not a fan of these two. I feel she brings out his dark side too much. I really lived Colter with Camille during the Gina Pickett storyline

I know that they are married in real life but I don’t think that they are good together…they seem mismatched

Same. He has more chemistry with Renee (not sure I spelled that right) on set.

I have a mild form of facial blindness and I get those pretty women with long dark hair mixed up. Can some one give me a quick summary of her previous history with Shaw?

I loved that final scene. This show only appeals to me when she's in it. Never watch, otherwise. The chemistry between this RL couple is off the charts. Their characters complement each other--he's the straight arrow with a dark side, she's the bad girl who's not as bad as she makes out--putting up a front to protect herself. It works for me. The writing is too formulaic, standard procedural, but if they made her a regular, I'd be one too. Anyway, it's already a hit. People like formula. I need more.
It's not that he's paying her with sex. That's wrong. He put her in danger, and that made him come to terms with how he'd feel if she'd died doing his dirty work for him. He had to go see her. They both are realizing that given how dangerous their lives are, every time they see each other could be the last. So don't waste any more time acting on what they feel.
But she's still not a regular, so they'll probably play the open-ended thing, there's other possible love interests. Mostly he's just doing his standard hero stuff. How many love interests did Jim Rockford have? And that was one of the best-written shows ever. The standard formula is that on an episodic show of this general type, the hero never settles down. Keep his options open. Which would make it interesting if they broke formula, and the actors become a couple on both sides of the camera. Otherwise, not interested. Maybe after the ratings fall, and they always do.
