The latest update aboutTrackerseason 3 can have consequences that make Colter’s biggest weakness even more prominent. The revelation inTrackerseason 2’s endingalready promised season 3 would need to tackleAshton Shaw’s mysterious deathand who was really involved. The ramifications of Colter’s mother’s involvement indeed risk making Colter’s flaw more conspicuous, not knowing who to trust.
The nature of Colter’s job as a rewardist guarantees he always has to travel, which makes it difficult to check in often with his loved ones as a result. Having been raised as a survivalist also influenced Colter’s comfort with loneliness, something with which he never had problems. However, one change can make this characteristic more present in season 3.
Velma & Bobby Exiting Tracker Season 3 Will Make Colter More Isolated
This Way, Colter Has Even Fewer Loved Ones Around
Every time Colter’s family appeared inTracker, Colter’s difficulties dealing with them were obvious. Between Mary Dove pushing for Colter and Russell not to reconcile and Colter’s hesitation to return to Echo Ridge, or even organize a dinner with Dory, Colter seems particularly careful when having to meet them.Their family dynamicthusdoesn’t make being close to them easy.
While being close to his family seemed out of the question inTrackerseasons 1 and 2, Colter’s bonds with his friends and support team were never as intense, making them likelier to get close to Colter than his family. However,Abby McEnany and Eric Graise’s exits beforeTrackerseason 3effectively force Velma and Bobby out of Colter’s life.
With those closest to him becoming fewer and fewer, Colter could dodge their invites much more easily, leading to his increased isolation.
Velma and Bobby disappearing from Colter’s life leaves the onus of being there for Colter to Reenie and Randy. Reenie became the only one Colter spent time with after he closed a case inTrackerseason 2, but with those closest to him becoming fewer and fewer, Colter could dodge their invites much more easily, leading to his increased isolation.
Colter Cannot Always Be Isolated In Tracker
Colter’s Past Means He’s Comfortable Alone, But He Cannot Always Be So
Colter’s past and type of job ensured that most of his time would be spent by himself, with which he seems completely at ease. However,while being alone might be easier for Colter, it doesn’t let him grow. The cases Colter relies on someone else are among the most interesting, and being around others could also teach him something new.
The only other character Colter tried letting in was Billie, but she forced herself to keep her distance just like he always did, highlighting how similarly aloof they both are.
In this context,Velma and Bobby’s exitsinTrackerseason 3can be the last straw that convinces Colter that he is right not to let anybody in, pushing him to be even more closed-off with Reenie and Randy. This could reverse Colter’s few steps forward, making his fear of letting people in more solid, thus leaving him more isolated.
Trackerseason 3 premieres on CBS at 8pm ET on Sunday, July 06, 2025.
Velma and Bobby’s disappearances can nevertheless be a double-edged sword. Indeed, Colter could resort to isolation. However,going to such extremes might promptTrackerto tackle Colter’s innate flaw, putting him in a situation that might make him understand that he needs others like others need him. Hopefully,Trackerseason 3 can finally spotlight and solve that problem of Colter’s.
