Having proven a huge success for CBS over a fantastic run, Tracker has been renewed for a long-awaited second season. Before we can turn our attention to what’s to come, however, the hit series’ first season will come to an end with a gripping finale next Sunday. After an emotional and action-packed reunion between estranged brothers Colter (Justin Hartley) and Russell (Jensen Ackles), the first look at the upcoming episode sees Colter back in the bounty business. This time, however, his quest takes him out to sea for one last, intense voyage.
The Season 1 finale is titled “The Storm” and sees Hartley reunite with his This Is Us co-star Jennifer Morrison. The clip reveals that Colter’s next mission will have a personal feel, as he sets out to find the missing daughter of a close friend, Morrison’s Lizzy Hawking. In the episode, Colter sets out to find the missing people. However, as with his own family drama, and Russell’s revelation that he may have seen someone in the woods the night their father died, Lizzy’s daughter must have seen something she shouldn’t have. Still, Colter is determined to find her.
The last few episodes of Tracker have been all about family drama and some reunions of various sorts. Alongside Russell and Colter, a previous episode saw Colter reunited with his sister, Dory (Melissa Roxburgh), after ignoring her for a year. Now, Colter is reunited with Lizzy, a childhood friend, while Hartley gets to work with Morrison again. The pair play Kevin and Cassidy on This Is Us, and in an interview with Collider, Hartley teased her appearance, saying, “I’ll tell you a little bit, in the finale, we have Jennifer Morrison coming in to play a big role. I haven’t worked with her since This Is Us, and she comes in as an old friend of the Colter family, from when they were kids. And so, that whole family dynamic is kind of seeped through her experience with him in the finale. So, there you go. I’m probably not allowed to tell you that, but it’s all good.” Aside from CBS’ Tracker’s complimentary angle, the show’s core possesses the kind of family drama that many would really rather avoid in reality. Russell’s revelations in Sunday’s “Off the Books” episode certainly watered the seeds of doubt Dory planted in their mother, Mary (Wendy Crewson). Hartley revealed that in the finale, “the whole family dynamic is exposed,” and exactly how that plays out remains to be seen. The suspenseful storyline that will hopefully tie up Colter’s family drama and save Lizzy’s daughter before season two is set to be an interesting one. In addition to the aforementioned cast members, the series also stars Fiona Rene (Fire Country) as Reenie, Abby McEnany as Velma, Robin Weigert as Teddi, and Eric Graise as Bob.
