Colter’s Brother Brings the Thrill Back to the Hunt

Who tracks the Tracker? Government conspiracies and alien sightings run amok when Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) himself briefly goes missing in Season 2, Episode 2, “Ontological Shock,” forcing his team of misfits to rise to the occasion and work together like they never have before. Even Colter’s brother Russell (Jensen Ackles) comes back to town to help solve this supernatural mystery.

A Widower Goes Missing in ‘Tracker’ Season 2 Episode 2

The episode opens with a man named Scott Palmer (Steven Culp) running through the woods and making a found footage horror-esque video. He claims he’s approaching a secret, uncharted DOD site. Then, all of a sudden, his camera stops working, and a bright light flashes. Next thing we know, Colter Shaw is driving up to a house in Pennsylvania. Scott’s daughter Patty (Brooke Nevin) hires Colter to find out what’s going on and where her father went. Colter learns that Scott is retired, likes hiking, recently became obsessed with government conspiracies, thought he was being followed because he knew too much, and had been harassing an astrophysics professor named Dr. Iris Blair (April Parker Jones). Blair’s husband put a restraining order on him. Colter’s unconvinced that this guy didn’t just go off the grid. However, he notices that some of the call logs between Blair and Scott, which Reenie (Fiona Rene) was able to obtain thanks to the restraining order, are quite long. He may have been calling her multiple times a day, but she stayed on the line to chat. Their relationship may not have been hostile at all. And when Colter talks to Dr. Blair about Scott, she doesn’t seem scared or worried at the mention of his name.

In fact, Scott and Blair were in communication about aliens and UAPs–just don’t call them UAPs or aliens. They’re UAPs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and NHIs, a.k.a. Non-Human Intelligence. While Colter remains skeptical, his hacker on retainer, Bobby (Eric Graise), is fully a believer in UAPs and other government conspiracy theories. (The persons of interest who Bobby cites – Dr. Jacques F. Vallee, Josef Allen Hynek, David Grusch, Luis “Lue” Elizondo, and the Kumburgaz video – are all real, by the way.) Colter and Bobby track down the location where we, the audience, last saw Scott, having said that Ashton Shaw asked too many questions too. That’s a Shaw family mystery wrapped into an intriguing enigma! At least this prompts Colter to tell Russell about the box of their dad’s stuff that her sister has been keeping from them.
