The second season of Tracker returned from a two-week break last Sunday with Tracker Season 2, Episode 16, “The Mercy Seat.” Colter (Justin Hartley), lending a hand to a friend, sees him trapped in the cold wilderness of Montana searching for two missing sisters and worrying about his injured friend. Thankfully, the world-famous rewardist, with help from his team and Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene) coming in big, escapes the wintry waste with everyone whole, except for the assailants, of course. On his next search, Colter will swap the chills of the wilderness for the warmth of a club as he searches for two missing partygoers.
If you’ve been tracking Tracker, you already know that Colter Shaw is a lone wolf with a taste for justice and adrenaline. But Season 2 is flipping the script—and trust me, fans are here for it. In a surprise twist, Randy, the character we all loved but underestimated, is stepping into the spotlight as Colter’s right-hand man. That’s right—Randy is shaping up to be the Robin to Colter’s Batman. Let’s dive into what makes this unexpected team-up so thrilling and why it’s setting social media on fire.
In Tracker Season 2, Episode 17, “Memories,” we will see “Randy enlists Colter’s services for his ex after her best friend goes missing following a night on the town in Reno,” reads the logline for the episode. The clip opens with Colter paying a visit to a club in search of two ladies who had partied at the location the night prior. Colter’s inquiries do not bring exactly comforting reports, “They brought the drama last night,” a lady responds to him. In the aftermath of a punch being thrown, the clip shows one of the ladies hidding away under a bed while the other is dragged out of a room. “Her friend. She’s missing,” Colter confirms. Next up is Bobby’s cousin, Randy (Chris Lee), who Colter informs, “These people are dangerous. I am doing this alone.” It’s not an agreement that Randy is happy with, as he responds saying, “Every Batman got to have their Robin.” Seemingly muscling his way into following Colter on the case, Randy looks to have saved Colter who was in the midst of gun/fist fight.
Will Randy’s Robin Surviv This Mission? Randy came onboard early on in Season 2 after Colter’s original tech genius, Bobby Exeley (Eric Graise), took an unexpected leave from the show. Having stood in for Bobby, Colter’s original man returned in the April 13 episode, with both tech cousins sharing the screen. The next Sunday’s episode sees the show take Randy in a different direction for the first time as he heads into the field. He won’t be the first person to hit the field with Colter, as both Bobby and Reenie have done so at different points of the show so far. However, with bullets flying in Randy’s case, fans might be wise to worry just a little bit about his safety.
Randy stepping into the Robin role isn’t just smart writing—it’s a move that adds heart, humor, and high stakes to Tracker. This transformation elevates the narrative and deepens our emotional connection to both characters. Whether you’re in it for the action, the character development, or the bromance, Season 2 of Tracker is shaping up to be an unforgettable ride.
