Whereas Tracker has been slowly teasing out backstory for Colter Shaw’s (Justin Hartley) household to unravel the thriller round one Shaw family member’s death, there’s nonetheless a extra urgent – and newer – thriller the collection has left unsolved.
Tracker’s case-of-the-week format implies that Colter solves a thriller each week as he hunts down lacking folks for a reward. Whereas these mysteries are neatly tied up with a bow, longer mysteries haven’t seen the identical therapy.
One thriller from Tracker season 2 stays unsolved, however which may be factor heading into season 3.
Tracker By no means Actually Gave Teddi A Definitive Destiny (Regardless of Robin Weigert’s Exit)
Teddi Solely Appeared In Tracker Season 1
Between seasons 1 and a pair of, Teddi Bruin was written out of Tracker. Whereas Robin Weigert was introduced as leaving her collection common position simply earlier than Tracker season 2 premiered on CBS, the complete reason for Teddi leaving Tracker has by no means been defined.
No behind-the-scenes drama has been mentioned, and it appears seemingly the collection simply determined to downsize its ensemble to deal with fewer collection regulars. It’s not unprecedented for even essentially the most profitable new exhibits to make a change following their freshman season.
Weigert didn’t seem in season 2 for any type of send-off for her character. As an alternative, her spouse Velma (Abby McEnany) merely mentions that Teddi helps out a member of the family, and that she determined to work out of their pal Reenie’s (Fiona Rene) workplace to proceed serving to discover instances for Colter to pursue.
Velma primarily turns into Colter’s solely handler within the collection at that time. Within the first season, Teddi and Velma would discover rewards for Colter collectively, calling him, providing him choices, and processing the funds for him. Velma does that alongside Reenie, who’s Colter’s main authorized counsel, in season 2.
After the primary few episodes of season 2, nonetheless, Velma and Reenie cease speaking about Teddi fully, and the character is solely a ghost of Tracker season 1.
Tracker Holding Teddi’s Destiny A Thriller Paves The Means For Velma’s Seamless Departure
Velma Will Depart In Tracker Season 3
Tracker is impressed by the Jeffrey Deaver novel The Never Game. That’s the place the Bruins first seem, although they’re just a little completely different from their on-screen counterparts. That novel by no means hints at breaking the pairing up, as Tracker ended up doing, so there’s probably not a supply for followers to level to that explains Teddi leaving.
Showrunner Elwood Reid at one level instructed media shops that Velma and Teddi separated heading into season 2, however that’s by no means explicitly said within the present, so it may not be thought-about canon for the collection, both, however quite, one thing that was deliberate, however by no means made it right into a script.
With Tracker season 3 set to see the departure of Velma and Bobby (Eric Graise), a member of Colter’s community who gives technical help and hacking abilities, Tracker has the prospect to deal with Teddi not being certainly one of Colter’s handlers but once more.
As Velma leaves the collection, there’s a probability for the writers to tie Velma’s departure to Teddy’s. Maybe the 2 are reuniting, beginning a brand new chapter of their lives. No matter Teddi had been as much as serving to her members of the family could possibly be performed, or she may have Velma’s help.
Regardless of the cause in the end is, tying the solid departures again to Teddi departing initially of Tracker season 2 can be a wise transfer. It will permit Tracker to lastly put that open plot thread to relaxation and provides the viewers some satisfying solutions concerning the destiny of Teddi and Velma’s relationship.
The character of the present means it’s tough to maintain the viewers fascinated by characters who merely chat with Colter over the telephone just a few instances an episode. Regardless of that, the Tracker viewers deserves closure for Teddi and Velma earlier than the present strikes ahead with its new dynamics.
