What To Remember Before Tracker Season 2
More Is Revealed About Colter’s Father
Tracker’s season 1 finalecloses out in style, with an appearance from Hartley’sThis Is Usco-star Jennifer Morrison. In her guest capacity, Morrison has a pivotal role as Lizzy Hawking, the childhood friend of Colter, who is looking for her missing daughter. The case has a happy ending, with Colter helping to bring the daughter home safely.Lizzy ultimately reveals that her mother and Colter’s father, Ashton, had an affair before Ashton Shaw died.
This adds another wrinkle to the complicated Shaw family history. Colter has long believed that his brother, Russell (Jensen Ackles), had a hand in their paranoid father’s death. Russell maintains that he did not kill Ashton, with the two siblings having a good relationship despite the complications. The finale further doubles down on the fact thatAshton’s work for the government was even more high-level than Colter realized.
