The first and last moments in Tracker Season 2, Episode 19 are the two pieces of setup for the Season 2 finale. It’s fantastic to see Melissa Roxburgh return as Colter’s sister Dory Shaw, although she only gets one scene (possibly due to her starring role in NBC’s crime drama The Hunting Party). This Is Us alum Jennifer Morrison also makes a one-scene appearance as Lizzy, as both women talk to Colter about a box that belonged to his father, which ended up in the possession of Lizzy’s mother. What’s in the box — and how much closer it leads Colter to some kind of resolution about his dad — is clearly what Episode 20 will be about.
Buckle up, Tracker fans! Episode 19 didn’t just raise the stakes—it blew the roof off expectations and dropped hints of an epic finale that could rival any hit thriller. If you thought the season had already peaked, think again. Episode 19 is the calm before the storm—and it’s calculated, intense, and absolutely genius. Let’s break down what happened, what it means, and why this episode is the perfect setup for one of the most explosive finales in recent memory.
What Happened in Tracker Season 2, Episode 19?
Episode 19, titled “The Divide,” is anything but filler. It’s the moment everything clicks—or rather, unravels in slow motion. Colter Shaw, still reeling from personal betrayals and haunted by past choices, uncovers a lead that could bring him closer to the truth—but also push him further into danger.
The Calm Before the Storm – But Not Really
Every great season finale needs tension. Episode 19 delivers that in spades. It’s that eerie feeling when everyone’s a little too quiet. Think Game of Thrones before a major battle—only smarter, more psychological.
Colter’s Game Plan Unfolds
Colter finally lays out a strategy—but it’s not without risk. He’s playing a dangerous game with people who have nothing to lose. The writing here is meticulous: tight, intense, and riddled with subtext.
Clues and Easter Eggs You Probably Missed
-
The name “Ellis” scrawled on a wall? Yeah, that matters.
-
The subtle handoff in the subway? It wasn’t just a throwaway moment.
-
That final phone call? It’s setting up the twist of all twists.
The guest cast in Episode 19, though, is a small joy. Aside from Roxburgh and Morrison, Michael Rady returns as Elliott and Battlestar Galactica alum Tahmoh Penikett plays FBI agent Moss, who actually swoops in to save the day at one point (much better than the cliche of a good guy being a secret bad guy). All of the actors are so fun to see that the audience can’t help but want more from them. However, that’s just not in the cards this late in the season.
“Rules of the Game” has to have the room to tell its one-off story, and then get that story completely finished, so that the show can solely and entirely focus on the Shaw family to end Season 2. And from that standpoint, it’s a success. More can absolutely be done with this idea and this cast, yet it’s satisfying enough as one last adventure before Tracker pivots back to its ongoing mystery.
Episode 19 is the storm’s eye—calm, calculated, and chilling. It’s the perfect setup for a finale that promises to deliver heartbreak, closure, and the kind of storytelling that keeps us coming back for more. Whether you’re a casual viewer or a die-hard Tracker addict, one thing’s for sure: you don’t want to miss the next episode.
