Tracker Season 1 Episode 7 Review: Chicago

Colter lastly had a case in a serious metropolitan metropolis, AND he teamed up with Bobby and Reenie in individual?!

Christmas got here tremendous early, y’all.

Tracker Season 1 Episode 7 wasn’t breaking the mildew so far as instances of the week go, however it was the primary time we spent prolonged time with Bobby, and that alone makes it one of many higher installments of the primary season.

Outdoors of Reenie, we had but to see Colter in the identical bodily house because the individuals who constantly assist him on his numerous instances.

We all know Bobby is the pc whiz, and he can hack absolutely anything, however exterior of that, we do not know a lot about him. And that is been okay since you assumed ultimately we would get some perception into the person behind the telephone, and we lastly obtained it.

Very similar to Colter, I initially thought Solar was Bobby’s girlfriend as a result of he spoke about her with such reverence. And he jumped on her disappearance with a quickness.

We knew Colter and Bobby had a historical past, one which’s shaded in higher after this hour, however it was nonetheless good to know Colter would come actually in a single day to assist Bobby when he known as.

Solar Mai’s disappearance was mysterious and, at first, did not make sense till it got here out that she and her mom had been coping with immigration points.

It needed to be unbelievably scary and traumatic to take care of that, particularly once you would not have the means to rent the most effective of the most effective relating to the authorized aspect of the state of affairs.

So typically, individuals cannot afford ample illustration and discover themselves in worse form due to it.

Solar and her mom trusted somebody who was a scammer, which value them extra than simply cash.

George/Marv was a scammer by way of and thru, and it is no surprise he needed to change round and bounce round cities when he inevitably discovered himself in conditions he could not rip-off his approach out of.

However the set-up for him was excellent, as he tricked unsuspecting individuals on their final ropes into accepting his assist after which fed them to a pack of vicious mortgage sharks.

Poor Solar wasn’t attempting to do one thing insidious or evil, but she discovered herself on this not possible state of affairs with extremely harmful individuals.

We all know that Colter likes to work by himself, for numerous causes, and that it really works for him, however all through Tracker Season 1 Episode 6 and this hour, it was emphasised simply how a lot he likes to be alone and do issues alone.

Many individuals have a ‘if you would like one thing executed proper, do it your self’ mindset, and whereas that will play a bit in Colter’s thoughts, his need to work alone appears rather more rooted in how his dad raised him.

He was raised to look out for himself. He makes use of these abilities to assist others, however he is probably not attempting to develop his social circle or make deep-seated connections that will include having an on a regular basis accomplice.

All of the individuals in Colter’s life who’re, on the very least, acquaintances are stored a substantial distance away, whether or not that be by way of precise bodily or emotional distance.

Colter has a number of unresolved trauma from his childhood, and he additionally has a substantial quantity of doubt that is been festering inside him for years. And all these issues inform the individual we see at present.

I additionally suppose Colter desires to keep away from taking up the duty of somebody getting damage or needing to shift his personal consideration away from the duty at hand.

It is not about not trusting Bobby or not wanting his assist all through the Solar case; it is Colter’s need to maintain him secure. He’ll put himself at risk, however he cannot be frightened about Bobby being at risk.

Finally, although, this was a case the place Bobby was not solely exceptionally useful however finally the one who helped each Colter and Solar get out of that constructing.

Generally, it takes the entire hour to determine who the unhealthy man is or what their motive could also be. However we realized fairly early that the mortgage sharks had been those who took Solar, after which it simply grew to become a matter of the place she was being held and find out how to get her again.

Understanding she was a considerably achieved MMA fighter, I ought to have seen that angle coming within the type of unlawful preventing, however alas, I didn’t.

What do mortgage sharks need on the finish of the day? They need their cash.

By getting Solar Mai into that ring and having her take a beating till she paid off what she owed, the sharks had been getting the blood they had been after.

For one thing unlawful, the safety was awfully lax! Colter and Bobby obtained inside comparatively rapidly, and Colter even obtained into the locker room with out anybody getting in his approach.

Solar was so scared, and if Colter hadn’t dropped the Bobby card, I am unsure she would have left with him as a result of she genuinely believed that when she paid her dues, she could be free to go.

She in all probability purchased that lie as a result of it got here from Artwork.

I really like a last-second twist, and Artwork being the large boss was actually that!

He appeared like an honest man when Colter and Bobby first met him at his fitness center, and he is the one who instructed them about Solar’s visa points, which on reflection was idiotic contemplating that is what ultimately led them to him.

Would they’ve gotten there ultimately? Certainly. However he actually helped pace up the timeline.

This can be essentially the most motion we have seen Colter have interaction in throughout Tracker Season 1, not less than relating to preventing scenes that lasted various seconds. He obtained some good beatdowns on these guys, and he did not get shot or stabbed or maimed.

He walked away with a bruised noggin, however that is all in a day’s work for Colter Shaw.

I wasn’t even interested by the implications for Solar and her mom if ever title was introduced up in all of the inevitable fallout from the unlawful preventing. She was there in opposition to her will, however it would not have helped her case.

It was so attention-grabbing to see Colter be the one to take an opportunity on the finish of Tracker Season 1 Episode 6 and ask Billie out for dinner solely to be rebuffed, after which see Colter rebuff Bobby and Reenie.

Bobby: What?
Reenie: A lone wolf’s gonna lone wolf.

Colter places up these intense boundaries for his personal good and for what I assume he believes is the great of others. However I nearly surprise if he realizes how a lot these individuals care about him.

I do know he likes to maintain individuals at arm’s size as a result of that works for him, however does he see how a lot they worth him? And on the flip aspect, do they see how a lot he values them?

I do know it is a procedural, but when I obtained a complete hour of Colter simply diving into the stuff from his previous, with everybody within the flesh serving to him get solutions and in addition simply being there for him as he navigates by way of an extended of buried and complicated feelings, I might be a really glad camper.

Tracker Notes

Bobby and Solar had been so cute collectively! I hope they exit for that drink and focus on different issues apart from her web site.

Reenie is an effective individual. She’s all around the nation as a lot as Colter helps individuals! And she or he even does it generally free of charge!

I wasn’t even interested by the truth that, technically, Bobby ought to be paying Colter since he enlisted his assist. However I like that Colter did not settle for cost AND referred to him as a pal. We like to see that!

Appropriate me if I am flawed, however Colter was wanting on the folder he stole throughout Tracker Season 1 Episode 2, proper? We obtained some references to the Shaw Household drama right here, however possibly we’re on the point of get again into it quickly!

Let’s have Colter hold heading east! I want him within the Large Apple pronto.

Tracker is discovering its groove, and the instances of the week proceed to entertain!

Let me know within the feedback what you considered this hour, and since we’re greater than midway by way of the season, what else you’d prefer to see earlier than issues get wrapped up!
