From there, Colter walks outside with the three women clutching him as their savior. He had already contacted Randy (Chris Lee) and Bobby (Eric Graise), who is finally back, via an SOS message from a ham radio handle using an APR system at the lodge. Randy traced the signal to a location not far from where Colter went, but emergency services wouldn’t send a chopper until they had more information. Randy calls Reenie (Fiona Rene) for help.
If you’re a fan of the hit TV series Tracker, you’ve likely seen the explosive Season 2 finale, Episode 16. The ending? Well, it’s been the subject of intense debate ever since it aired. Some fans loved it, while others felt the conclusion was more abrupt than they expected. So, what exactly happened in that final scene, and why are fans reacting the way they are? Let’s dive in and unpack the ending, the reactions, and what it means for the show’s future.
Reenie is meeting with a wealthy client, Leo Scarf (Pej Vahdat), who has just indicated that he feels he hasn’t paid her enough for her fantastic services. She has an idea: he has a helicopter and asks him to use it. Paramedics arrive via Leo’s helicopter to take the ladies back to safety. Colter tells one of them that a rescue worker is injured in a nearby cabin and also needs assistance.
But then, the episode ends. Colter doesn’t go with them in the helicopter but stays with Ariana. He looks at her and tells her it’s time to go home. How did he get back, and where did he go from there? Did he hop back on the snowmobile to the cabin to meet Roger and the paramedics? Did he wait for the police to arrive at the gruesome scene that includes three dead serial killers and give his report? However, there’s no resolution with the ladies he saved. Who is Amelia? It’s obvious she’s one of a string of women who have been abducted by this crew.
Earlier in the episode, Randy tells Reenie that he looked into the spot Colter went to, and it’s known for many disappearances, including a photographer who went missing there a year ago. But Amelia isn’t that photographer — she doesn’t match the photo and mentioned having been held in a cage for eight or nine years. Fans get no backstory or sweet reunion with her loved ones. There are no details about Shelly and Brianna, who had been looking into these strange disappearances. It’s a missed opportunity to link these stories and provide interesting context.
There’s no exchange of gratitude nor handing over of a check for services, which tends to be the customary ending of every episode or at least part of it. Moreover, viewers don’t learn anything about Father Eamon, who he is, who the two young men are to him, and how he came to be doing what he was doing. How long were they in the wilderness? Were they responsible for all the disappearances? How did no one find them in a massive remote lodge?
The ending of Tracker Season 2, Episode 16, may have left fans reeling with its abruptness, but this could be exactly what the showrunners intended. Whether it’s a bold narrative choice or a missed opportunity, only time will tell. What’s clear is that Tracker is making waves in the TV landscape, keeping fans engaged and eagerly awaiting what’s to come in Season 3. Stay tuned!
