The cases Colter Shaw works on in Tracker Season 2, Episode 3, “Bloodlines,” don’t come his way very often. Instead of being approached directly by a client or getting them from Teddy, the episode finds Colter teaming up with a rival tracker with whom he has a complicated history. Sofia Pernas returns as Billie Matalon, Colter’s rival tracker who keeps him on his toes at work and in their personal lives. They used to date, and awkwardness still haunts them. CBS has released a sneak peek of the episode, which airs Sunday, October 27 at 8:30 p.m. As revealed in the episode’s official logline below, the sneak peek explores Colter and Billie’s work dynamic.
Billie is a mystery Colter has never quite figured out, and the first sneak peek shows just how hidden she is. The video begins with the duo at a bar as Billie tries to get Colter to help, but he is wary of her because she has manipulated him before. Colter’s questions are met with a superficial answer, and Colter can tell. She tries to entice him with the reward money or their past, but he sees right through her. After digging deeper, Colter learns that Billie is actually from the town where the baseball star went missing and that she has family connections. “Aren’t you from Miami?” Colter asks, surprised. Billie reveals that she needs Colter to act as a go-between between the townspeople and her because her family history there is not well-regarded. Colter eventually relents, but not before asking for a larger reward.
The next scenes show Colter and Billie digging deeper. In one scene, Billie doesn’t appear, but Colter interacts with a detective who, unsurprisingly, isn’t thrilled with Colter’s presence. The case takes on several layers as it appears Eric is involved in another missing person’s case that they think Eric is holding. One scene teases an escalation as blood is found and Colter delivers his findings to the police. Another scene shows Colter and Billie in an abandoned office space, where their competitive spirit is evident. A locked door is a challenge, and Billie wants to show off her lockpicking skills. Colter kicks the door open to show off his strength. It will be interesting to see these two work together.
