Meanwhile, Leo Sharf (Pej Vahdat) arranges a dinner meeting with Reenie. We also learn that his assistant or associate, Francie (Kaylah Zander), is friends with Reenie’s boyfriend, Elliott (Michael Rady), and that they recommended her for this position. That’s an additional red flag on Elliott for those rooting against that relationship. They talk vaguely about something Reenie is not aware of yet… so secretive, this guy!
Mystery? Check. Suspense? Double check. Reenie’s back, and this time, she’s neck-deep in a client case that’s raising more questions than answers. If you thought Tracker had hit its peak in storytelling, Season 2 Episode 16 just rewrote the rulebook. This episode isn’t just another case. It’s a full-on dive into psychological warfare, secrets buried deep, and a client who might not be who they claim to be. So, let’s unpack every twist and clue together.
Before we go full detective mode, let’s rewind for the newbies. Tracker is the crime-thriller drama series that’s got everyone talking. It follows the brilliant and sharp Reenie, a private investigator with a knack for unraveling the most tangled mysteries. From missing persons to criminal conspiracies, each episode throws Reenie into dangerous territory—and this week, things get real dark.
However, when Leo comes to Reenie’s office with “fire” takeout, they seem aligned in their goals. He wants to take down a former partner called Grimes and Reenie is not necessarily against it, even though he is a liability and Reenie doesn’t want Velma (Abby McEnany) to know anything about him. Grimes is a bad dude, so Reenie’s morals are not totally compromised by what Leo is asking of her. But then, Randy and Bobby receive an SOS text from someone they assume is Colter via radio. They relay this information to Reenie, who asks Leo if she can borrow use of a helicopter to get him out. So now she owes him a favor.
Back at the lodge, Father Eamon puts on “Shambala” by Three Dog Night, a song some television fans might associate with the Dharma Initiative on Lost, and asks for the titular “mercy seat” – a wooden throne. Eamon leaves Shelly, whose head injury is not properly healing, at his dining room table and swings Brianna around. With Rufus and Dash’s help, he puts her in the seat and starts to strangle her with a scarf. But Colter, who has at this point sent his SOS to Randy and Bobby, is now free to go upstairs and rescue all three girls. Brianna, who hid a fork under her napkin, provides backup. She attacks Rufus while Colter shoots Dash and Eamon. So, to recap: Colter Shaw may have temporarily made Shelly and Brianna’s situation worse by taking them out of the wilderness and into the arms of a murderous family cult. But he managed to rescue them and one of their previous victims, Amelia, in the process. That evens out to a job well done, right?
This isn’t just another week of Tracker. Episode 16 flips the series on its head and makes us question everything we thought we knew about Reenie. The writing, acting, and storytelling? Absolutely top-tier.
