I Know What You Did Final Summer season met Tracker on this twisty hour, throughout which Colter tracked throughout a gorgeous Pacific Northwest park looking for lacking campers.
Typically, I couldn’t even deal with the dialogue for a second due to how picturesque the panorama was on Tracker Season 2 Episode 6.
However this was one other thrilling hour in what has shortly develop into a relatively pleasurable second act for the action-drama collection.
Sophomore slumps are a really actual factor on this planet of tv, and there’s nonetheless numerous Tracker left to go this season, however up to now, the circumstances have been overwhelmingly intriguing for probably the most half, even when a few of the first season struggles are nonetheless current.
Everybody else besides Colter and Rennie are nonetheless being sidelined, possibly much more than earlier than. Nonetheless, there’s been one thing inherently contemporary and thrilling concerning the circumstances, locations, and other people Colter has been assembly this season in his quest to trace lacking folks and declare his rewards.
Not each hour has been a house run, nevertheless it’s been enjoyable. And that’s all you can actually need from a present like this.
The lacking campers saga introduced Colter to a park the place a bunch of buddies mysteriously disappeared after an evening of ingesting and speak of drunk mountain climbing out to a waterfall below the tremendous blue moon.
We might see that somebody was watching them, so it appeared poised to be a case through which Colter would in the end discover on the market was some madman within the woods searching folks for sport or one thing of that nature, and that did appear to be the best way issues have been going when Colter met Keaton.
If Reenie, Billie, or Russell should not accessible, Colter typically meets somebody in regulation enforcement who finally ends up serving to him in a method or one other, even when the connection borders on contentious at finest.
Keaton was regulation enforcement however of the retired selection. He was out within the park chasing a chilly case that he couldn’t shake, even in retirement. After the preliminary male posturing, the 2 found they’d rather more in frequent than not.
Colter doesn’t precisely give off vibes that he’s on the lookout for firm at any given time, however as soon as the 2 males talked, it turned obvious that they might assist each other.
Colter is aware of all about chasing demons from the previous, and the similarities between the 2 circumstances have been too robust to disregard.
Keaton was an old-school cop and the form of man who would by no means be capable of relaxation realizing that there was work to be performed on one thing he had promised to do. Regardless of how a lot time had handed, the drive to resolve this case by no means left him.
He would have by no means been content material to surrender as a result of he’s not wired that method. Sound acquainted?
Colter’s a lone wolf by and thru, however his partnerships are normally good, particularly in situations like this one, the place he and Keaton had a lot in frequent.
There was so much unsaid between the 2 due to a right away connection. They have been digital strangers, but it felt like they’d identified one another for years in how effectively they labored collectively.
How they noticed a bullet and the best way it hit a rock and have been in a position to decide exactly the place it was doubtless shot from is an acquired ability, and as soon as they stumbled upon that camouflaged shack, they have been proper on prime of the shooter.
It was method too early within the hour for the whole lot to be wrapped up neatly, however who guessed it might go so very spectacularly off the rails?
Marcus might have been Keaton’s man, however he wasn’t who Colter was after.
Colter and Keaton assembly on that mountain was a blessing, even when it took place from one thing tragic. Marcus would have continued his rampage on the individuals who dared to step foot onto the mountains if it hadn’t been for them.
Marcus gave Colter the little nugget of data he wanted to begin breaking the case broad open when he mentioned the buddies seemed like they have been able to kill one another, and all he needed to do was sit again and watch.
This was such a curveball, however when issues began to fit into place, my first thought was the 90s horror basic starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar as a result of anytime folks begin speaking about protecting one thing up from years in the past, my thoughts goes to a person in a slicker and Jennifer Love Hewitt screaming so much.
The chums having run over a person whereas drunk driving after which disposing of his physique solely to go on with their lives for 8 YEARS like nothing occurred is a relatively insane factor to consider, however Coop’s conscience turned too loud for him to disregard.
His conscience was at all times in play since he had been paying Natalie for years, although he might not have really had the means to take action.
Clearly, he was not content material to die along with his sins, however apparently, he went to Jason and Monika, hoping they’d additionally really feel the identical method he did and need to come clear whereas realizing that wasn’t very doubtless.
Jason and Monika clearly had moved on and have been at a spot the place they weren’t ready to destroy the whole lot they’d crafted over time.
They have been the individuals who bought away with homicide and have been okay with that — chalking it up to a school mistake.
However Coop was the one who bought away with homicide however couldn’t ever settle for that. He tried to make his amends by financial means till that was not sufficient to assuage the super quantity of grief he felt.
I saved considering that one in all Jason or Monika would come round and agree with Coop, however that was not what was taking place in that condo. Coop might not have meant to kill Jason, however I’ve little doubt the couple would have killed Coop if he hadn’t made a transfer.
With the quilt of all of them going lacking whereas out on a hike, as soon as Jason and Monika bought into that laptop, they might have deleted the e-mail, deleted Coop, after which disposed of his physique the identical method they did Brian’s.
That was one messy and diabolical couple. They could have made a mistake initially, however from there, they confirmed no regret and have been prepared to compound the tragedy with much more ache to maintain the life they created.
How Monika was in a position to wrap up Coop’s physique, drag him out of that condo, and cargo him up into the automobile with nobody seeing or a digital camera catching them defies logic, however that’s additionally why we didn’t see any of that.
Every part led to Colter and Keaton discovering them on that dock, although Coop being alive in any case was actually a twist!
Once more, Monika was two seconds away from killing him, and he or she wouldn’t have thought twice about it. Killing to guard a secret is a story as outdated as time.
Colter and Keaton teaming as much as save the day was actually a spotlight, and I admire them lastly discovering somebody on one in all these circumstances that Colter can join with past only one case.
Justin Hartley typically has such nice chemistry with everybody, and I can suppose of some folks he’s linked with that I wouldn’t thoughts seeing once more.
Tasking Keaton with wanting into Gina’s case ensures that may come again round, and I like how they selected to intersect that case with this one.
Colter typically lives prior to now; clearly, Keaton does, too. Whereas we will debate whether or not that’s wholesome or not, what it’s proper now’s actuality. So, why not use each of their chilly case obsessions and switch them into one thing good?
Tracker Notes
- Not sufficient Velma. Not sufficient Bobby. Free them from their telephones and put them into the thick of the motion SOON!
- Sorry, however Colter and Reenie actually do stay the superior potential ship. They sit throughout from one another, sipping champagne out of a mug, and I giggle and kick my ft.
- That waterfall was breathtaking. They’ve visited some really beautiful locations this season.
- Are there any plans to maneuver the Shaw Household drama ahead? I need to admit, the tales have been so good that I’ve been excited about it much less and fewer, however I nonetheless don’t need them to get so far-off from it that we neglect it exists.
