Jensen Ackles’ Russell Shaw is about to make his Tracker return, and he can revive a sadly ignored conspiracy plotline whereas he’s round. Colter’s household outlook may not be implausible proper now, largely because of his mom’s function in his father’s dying. However out of everybody in Tracker’s cast of characters, she isn’t the one Colter wants to fret about.
Not each main plot level within the collection obtained air time within the Tracker season 2 finale. In truth, one in all Colter’s largest unsolved mysteries hasn’t been introduced up for almost half a season since its introduction. If there’s any probability that the collection would possibly revisit this dropped thriller in Tracker season 3, Russell might simply play a key function.
Tracker Season 2 Suggests That Colter Is Underneath Authorities Safety Surveillance
It’s Even Doable That The Feds Are Secretly On His Aspect
Season 2, episode 13 dropped a fairly fascinating plot element on the very finish when Colter learns that the federal government despatched Reenie a letter thanking Colter for his work and strongly implying the feds have been quietly watching him. This arrives in response to Colter uncovering deep-seated corruption, however the word additionally hints at a storyline that’s by no means talked about once more.
Contemplating Tracker’s tendency to prioritize episodic instances over bigger overarching storylines, this word stood out. It hinted at a a lot bigger plot, and it particularly appeared as if the feds watching Colter would possibly relate to Ashton Shaw’s dying not directly. It was already believed that Tracker’s Shaw family mystery doubtless concerned the federal government, and this felt like additional proof.
It is also price noting that this letter arrived not lengthy earlier than Bobby’s Tracker season 2 return. No person was anticipating a principal character to return again from an extended absence simply to spend the remainder of the season sitting round doing nothing, so it briefly appeared as if the federal government’s surveillance would possibly relate to why Bobby was gone for therefore lengthy.
None of these concepts paid off ultimately, and it turned out that the plan for Bobby actually was to have him come again and mope for some time earlier than leaving the present between seasons. Nonetheless, Reenie’s letter leaves us with each motive to consider that the federal government remains to be monitoring Colter, and Russell might turn out to be concerned fairly quickly.
Tracker Season 3’s Russell Shaw Return May Lead To One other Federal Encounter
He Hasn’t Attracted This A lot Consideration Since He Joined Thriller Inc.
Followers of Jensen Ackles (of which there must be many after his look in the most effective Scooby-Doo adaptation of all time) ought to have a bone to choose with CBS after the community did not ship on the promise of a number of Russell appearances in Tracker season 2. Nevertheless, Russell Shaw’s role in Tracker season 3’s premiere could make up for that.
Early descriptions state that the subsequent episode of Tracker will contain Colter and Russell investigating an underground operation known as “The Course of.” Though “The Course of” is the identify of a real-life cult that after housed members of the Manson household and now runs a no-kill shelter in Utah, it’s subtly implied that Tracker’s model of The Course of is rather more sinister.
The final time Russell and Colter acquired collectively, they unearthed potential connections between their father and the federal government that appeared doubtlessly associated to Ashton’s dying. Not a lot has come of that but, however The Course of might simply carry Russell Shaw again into the federal government’s sightlines. Even when it’s a cult or terrorist cell, that doesn’t imply the feds aren’t watching.
Getting concerned in one other investigation the federal authorities has vested curiosity in wouldn’t solely mirror Colter’s work with Neptune, but additionally his previous work with Russell. And, even when The Course of itself is unrelated to Ashton, encountering the feds whereas bringing down the operation might at the least give Colter an opportunity to study extra about why he’s being watched.
How Tracker Season 3 Can Shed New Mild On The Authorities’s Letter To Reenie
Ashton’s Dying Would possibly Have Concerned The Feds In A Totally different Means Than Anticipated

Though Colter and Reenie each understand it as doubtlessly threatening, the federal government is unabashedly grateful for Colter’s assist and appears to quietly view him as an ally. On the very least, their pursuits have been aligned on at the least one event, and so they legitimately wanted Colter’s assist exposing a corruption scheme.

Given the appreciative nature of their letter, it could be odd at this level to imagine they had been in any method complicit in Ashton’s dying.
Extra doubtless is that the federal government wanted Ashton’s assist uncovering a plot that’s nonetheless unfolding within the shadows, during which case Colter and Russell might discover out that they’ve been quietly persevering with their father’s work. This is able to add a degree of intrigue and ethical complexity to the Shaw household thriller whereas dangerously elevating the stakes for Colter and his brother.
There’s no telling simply but how issues would possibly unfold, however studying extra in regards to the authorities’s function in Ashton’s dying might additionally trace towards Mary Dove’s motives for having him killed. It’s all the time thrilling to see Jensen Ackles return to Tracker, however it could be even higher if his subsequent look might result in viewers lastly unearthing some solutions.
