Tracker’s Melanie Day Quietly Set Up Colter Shaw’s Next Big Twist

by

The newest episode of Justin Hartley’s Tracker puts Colter in a difficult situation – he sees parallels between himself and the man who murdered his father. He hunts down a troubled and dangerous man who has taken his children to live secretly in the wilderness. While Colter gives this family a happy resolution he was unable to experience himself, a new character on Tracker subtly begins to set up what could be a major storyline for the future.

In Denver, Melanie Day is proving to be a valuable asset at Reenie’s office, often stepping in to help when Reenie is delayed. Meanwhile, Randy has settled into life in Denver, while Reenie continues to cope with the trauma she experienced last season.

Tracker’s Velma Replacement Suggests Code Words for Reenie

Last night on Tracker, Reenie was delayed getting to a client meeting, and was nervously texting her boss while the client became increasingly frustrated. When Reenie didn’t respond, Mel stepped in to smooth things over. She offered the client more coffee, and when that didn’t help, she assured him Reenie was on her way with a good explanation for the delay. At that moment, Reenie arrived, appearing calm and confident.

Reenie was reviewing the contract her client was scheduled to sign when she noticed a hidden non-compete clause. This clause would have prevented her client from working for a competitor for at least three years after they stopped working together. Reenie advised her client to negotiate the clause and explore other job opportunities. Fortunately, everything was resolved thanks to Mel, who helped by delaying the client’s decision and giving Reenie time to address the issue.

Following a near miss, Mel proposes they create a code system – secret words only they understand to communicate specific messages. For example, Reenie could use a code word to signal she wants to end a phone call, or Mel could use one to indicate he needs to divert a client’s attention. These discreet signals would allow them to communicate privately in different situations. Given the author’s efficient style, these code words will probably become important later in the story, and potentially play a role in resolving certain issues.

Mel and Reenie could create a secret code for emergencies, which might create a complication for Colter. This code would allow them to discreetly signal for help if one of them was threatened. If a personal connection to the death is revealed, stirring things up could put Mel at risk, and the code would allow her to send quick, disguised messages if she’s able.

With Colter facing trouble with the authorities, Reenie and Mel could use code words to talk about him. This would also allow them to share information with him, even if the police are watching them. The coded language would help keep their conversations private if anyone were listening in.

Reenie May Not Be Coping With Her Trauma From Tracker Season 2

Last week in the Tracker, Reenie showed up late to work feeling unwell and still wearing the previous day’s clothes. The week before, she was clearly recovering from a night out – it was Halloween and she’d won a costume contest, so her condition wasn’t as concerning. This week, however, Reenie was late but seemed enthusiastic and ready to work. She didn’t offer an excuse for being tardy, and she didn’t appear to be hungover.

She appeared to be handling the aftermath of the event reasonably well, still processing it but not in a self-destructive manner. She told Russell it had been a near-death experience for both her and her boyfriend, who was fatally wounded during the abduction. Russell assured her he’d be there to listen whenever she needed, though he acknowledged his busy life might sometimes prevent that. Now, it’s unclear whether Reenie has tried contacting Russell without success, or if she’s simply using alcohol to cope with her emotions.

Randy had been watching Reenie closely and noticed she was struggling. He showed he cared by bringing her a sandwich when she wasn’t feeling well. This week, Randy tells Reenie he’s signed a long-term lease on his apartment, meaning he’s committed to staying in Denver and being there for her if she needs support. He suspects her comments last week about him staying were a way of asking for help, and he’s stepping up as a good friend.
