Tracker stars Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, a survivalist who travels around the country collecting reward money. When not using his tracking skills to find the missing, Colter grapples with his fractured family. While he is a bit of a lone wolf, Colter works with a small team to help him get the job done.
Velma Bruin (Abby McEnany) helps run things and finds cases for Colter, while Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene) is a lawyer who gets him out of trouble and uses her connections to provide him with pertinent intel. Bobby Exley (Eric Graise) is the tech genius who hacks cameras and follows a case’s digital breadcrumbs. The crime procedural is well into its second season on CBS as the network’s number-one series.
When Does Tracker, Episode 15, Air?
“The Grey Goose” Was Written by Annakate Chappell & Jai Franklin Sarki and Directed by Ken Olin Last week’s episode of Tracker took Colter Shaw to New Orleans to investigate a missing teenager. This week, Colter heads back to New England to team up with more than one familiar face. When a fugitive, Justine, escapes prison and takes a hostage, Detective Brock calls Colter in to help her find them. They learn that Justine called the prison when she was on the run and that her cellmate might have critical information to help them find the escaped prisoner and her captive. Colter asks Billie Matalon, a fellow rewardist, for help. Billie must go undercover in the women’s prison to get Justine’s cellmate to talk. “The Grey Goose,” formerly titled “Here Kitty,” features a few returning guest stars. Sofia Pernas is back as Colter’s former partner, Billie. Diana Maria Riva reprises her role as Detective Helen Brock. In a sneak peek of the episode, Colter calls his new tech guy, Randy, to track Justine’s cellphone activity. This means that Bobby Exley will likely remain absent from the series for at least another week. The episode will air on Sunday, March 30th, on CBS at 8 pm. It’s also streaming on Paramount+.
Diana Maria Riva Is Back as Detective Helen Brock
Riva Previously Appeared in Season One’s “Aurora”
In the first season of Tracker, Colter Shaw went to Vermont to help a father find his missing daughter in “Aurora.” He teamed up with Detective Helen Brock to take another look at the cold case. Lana had been missing for three years and was presumed dead following the discovery of a supposed suicide note and the dead body of her best friend. Lana’s father never believed she would take her own life and hires Colter to find her when he sees a photo of Lana in a newspaper. Detective Brock confides in Colter that Lana’s disappearance was the one case she could never shake. She’s happy to have Colter’s help. Together, they retrace Lana’s steps and find a homeless man who may have witnessed Lana’s abduction. He gives them a key piece of information that leads them to discover what happened to the missing girl. Detective Helen Brock was one of the few law enforcement personnel who was immediately open to having Colter’s help on a case in her first episode. She was a strong and honest detective who genuinely wanted to serve and protect. Brock allowed him full access to the case and the evidence. They bonded over their white whales—the ones they couldn’t solve that haunt them still. Brock was grateful to Colter for helping her solve hers, and the episode featured the first mention of the Gina Picket case, which Colter wouldn’t crack until season two’s “The Disciple.” Considering the success of their work in “Aurora,” it’s no surprise she would be up for working with Colter a second time.
Sofia Pernas Returns as Billie Matalon in the Next Tracker
This Will Be Pernas’ Third Appearance on Tracker. Justin Hartley’s real-life partner, Sofia Pernas, will be back, playing Billie Matalon. In Tracker’s sixth episode, “Lexington,” viewers meet another rewardist, and she has a history with Colter. Billie was smart and beautiful and had playful banter with Colter. Their on-screen relationship began contentiously, with Colter still holding a grudge against Billie for betraying his trust when they used to work together. Billie is a more ruthless, financially motivated reward hunter. They started out competing against each other for the reward of finding a missing racehorse. After deciding to team up, Colter has difficulty trusting Billie, but she stays true to their partnership. At the end of her first appearance, Colter and Billie part ways amicably. In Billie’s second episode, “Bloodlines,” she goes to Colter for help on a case that takes her back to her hometown. Audiences learn a little more about Colter’s only real competition and nemesis. Billie brings Colter in since the locals hate her and her con artist mother. She fears they won’t talk to her and needs him to work with local law enforcement and reach out to the community for help in finding a missing high school baseball star.
“The Grey Goose” is poised to be a standout episode in Tracker’s second season. With its intricate plot, dynamic character interactions, and thematic depth, it promises to be a memorable installment that will leave viewers eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
