Tracker Season 2 Episode 8 Plot Details
It's Time to Move On
Tracker Season 2, Episode 8 begins with Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) reuniting with Camille Picket to give her an update about her missing sister, Gina. It seems that Camille had given up all hope of finding her, but Colter appears to have a new lead.
To recap, Episode 6 unveiled that Colter asked for a favor from a retired Tacoma police officer named Keaton (Brent Sexton who guest stars in Tracker Season 2, Episode 6) to check on possible leads about Gina Picket's case, acknowledging the fact that he might need a second set of eyes to look into the case.
However, it looks like Camille is ready to move on, realizing that all the leads are a dead end despite Colter's determination to solve it.
A Missing Dead Brother?!?
After Camille leaves, Colter gets interrupted by a phone call from Velma (Abby McEnany), asking him to look into a new case.
Velma tells him that a graphic designer from San Francisco is looking for his missing brother, Lucas Jones, and the reward to find him is $15,000.
There is a catch, though. It turns out that the brother is not missing. He's dead.
Colter Seeks Bobby's Assistance
During his investigation, Colter asks Bobby (Eric Graise), his tech guy, to look into the case after visiting the hospital where the client's mother is admitted.
The client tells Colter that he believes that Lucas visited his mother according to the hospital's log, considering that the handwriting of the visitor is similar to Lucas'.
Bobby first asks if there is any surveillance footage from the hospital that can help them track down who the visitor really is, but Colter says there are no cameras at the nurse's station and no video of who they believe is Lucas coming in and out of the premises.
Bobby then looks into Lucas' former employer, Big Byte Computer Repairs, to learn more about his work history, and his digging translates into more notable findings.
It is revealed that the place was broken into two days ago, which was the same day Lucas' sister claims that her brother supposedly visited the hospital.
This evidence is enough reason for Colter to do some more digging on his end, and he strongly thinks that Lucas is indeed alive. It looks like a much bigger conspiracy is at play here.
The Night Movers
After a run-in with Lucas' girlfriend and finding confirmation that Lucas is indeed alive via security footage taken from the shop, Colter's investigation leads him face-to-face with Detective Goodman (aka the investigator who was tasked to look into Lucas' death in the past).
Colter and the detective trade video footage so that our beloved tracker can investigate a lead tied to Lucas' past.
With some help from Bobby, Colter ends up in Chinatown where he finds a woman named Barbie whose husband just got shot by unknown assailants.
It turns out that Barbie and her husband have a business (named The Night Movers) that helps people disappear, and at one point, Lucas was their client.
After some more digging from Bobby, Colter finds out that Lucas and a YouTuber were planning to reveal a major political scandal involving a mayoral candidate named Tim Crosby.
This is the main reason why Lucas had to fake his death in the first place because he is being targeted by Crosby's forces.
A Dirty Detective
Colter works side by side with Barbie to (once again) fake Lucas' death to catch Detective Goodman. It turns out that she has been working with Tim Crosby all along.
Colter deduces the connection between Crosby and Goodman, using Bobby's tech to tap into the detective's phone to reveal her dirty deeds.
With the help of the FBI, Colter manages to bust the detective and Crosby in their apparent meeting. Lucas finally comes home, Barbie comes to terms with her husband's death, and everyone's happy.
More Twists in Colter's White Whale Case
Keaton, Colter's ally and a retired cop from Tracker Season 2, Episode 6, calls Colter to give him some good news about the case that they are now both investigating involving Gina Pickett.
He was able to find a potential suspect, Alex, and was able to hold him tied to a basement.
Alex tells Colter and Keaton that Frank Whales (the guy that Colter intimidated in Tracker Season 2, Episode 1) was indeed responsible for Gina's disappearance, but he was not alone.
It is revealed that a mysterious guy only known as "Teacher" used "pretty boys" to lure beautiful girls into "The Farm."
The episode ends with Colter asking Alex if Gina is still alive, but the screen cuts to black before the answer is given.
After this episode, Tracker will be on a midseason break, and the show will return on CBS on Sunday, February 16 at 8 p.m. ET.
Fans can still watch the first eight episodes of Tracker Season 2 on Paramount+.
