Colter lastly had a case in a serious metropolitan metropolis, AND he teamed up with Bobby and Reenie in particular person?!
Christmas got here tremendous early, y’all.
Tracker Season 1 Episode 7 wasn’t breaking the mould so far as instances of the week go, nevertheless it was the primary time we spent prolonged time with Bobby, and that alone makes it one of many higher installments of the primary season.
Exterior of Reenie, we had but to see Colter in the identical bodily house because the individuals who repeatedly assist him on his varied instances.
We all know Bobby is the pc whiz, and he can hack absolutely anything, however outdoors of that, we do not know a lot about him. And that is been okay since you assumed ultimately we might get some perception into the person behind the telephone, and we lastly acquired it.
Very like Colter, I initially thought Solar was Bobby’s girlfriend as a result of he spoke about her with such reverence. And he jumped on her disappearance with a quickness.
We knew Colter and Bobby had a historical past, one which’s shaded in higher after this hour, nevertheless it was nonetheless good to know Colter would come actually in a single day to assist Bobby when he referred to as.
Solar Mai’s disappearance was mysterious and, at first, did not make sense till it got here out that she and her mom had been coping with immigration points.
It needed to be unbelievably scary and traumatic to cope with that, particularly whenever you shouldn’t have the means to rent the perfect of the perfect relating to the authorized aspect of the state of affairs.
So typically, individuals cannot afford ample illustration and discover themselves in worse form due to it.
Solar and her mom trusted somebody who was a scammer, which price them extra than simply cash.
George/Marv was a scammer by means of and thru, and it is no surprise he needed to change round and bounce round cities when he inevitably discovered himself in conditions he could not rip-off his means out of.
However the set-up for him was good, as he tricked unsuspecting individuals on their final ropes into accepting his assist after which fed them to a pack of vicious mortgage sharks.
Poor Solar wasn’t making an attempt to do one thing insidious or evil, but she discovered herself on this unattainable state of affairs with extremely harmful individuals.
We all know that Colter likes to work by himself, for varied causes, and that it really works for him, however all through Tracker Season 1 Episode 6 and this hour, it was emphasised simply how a lot he likes to be alone and do issues alone.
Many individuals have a ‘if you need one thing achieved proper, do it your self’ mindset, and whereas which will play a bit in Colter’s thoughts, his need to work alone appears far more rooted in how his dad raised him.
He was raised to look out for himself. He makes use of these expertise to assist others, however he is not likely making an attempt to broaden his social circle or make deep-seated connections that might include having an on a regular basis accomplice.
All of the individuals in Colter’s life who’re, on the very least, acquaintances are saved a substantial distance away, whether or not that be by means of precise bodily or emotional distance.
Colter has quite a lot of unresolved trauma from his childhood, and he additionally has a substantial quantity of doubt that is been festering inside him for years. And all these issues inform the particular person we see in the present day.
I additionally suppose Colter needs to keep away from taking over the duty of somebody getting harm or needing to shift his personal consideration away from the duty at hand.
It is not about not trusting Bobby or not wanting his assist all through the Solar case; it is Colter’s need to maintain him secure. He’ll put himself at risk, however he cannot be fearful about Bobby being at risk.
In the end, although, this was a case the place Bobby was not solely exceptionally useful however in the end the one who helped each Colter and Solar get out of that constructing.
Generally, it takes the entire hour to determine who the dangerous man is or what their motive could also be. However we discovered fairly early that the mortgage sharks had been those who took Solar, after which it simply grew to become a matter of the place she was being held and learn how to get her again.
Understanding she was a considerably completed MMA fighter, I ought to have seen that angle coming within the type of unlawful combating, however alas, I didn’t.
What do mortgage sharks need on the finish of the day? They need their cash.
By getting Solar Mai into that ring and having her take a beating till she paid off what she owed, the sharks had been getting the blood they had been after.
For one thing unlawful, the safety was awfully lax! Colter and Bobby acquired inside comparatively rapidly, and Colter even acquired into the locker room with out anybody getting in his means.
Solar was so scared, and if Colter hadn’t dropped the Bobby card, I am unsure she would have left with him as a result of she genuinely believed that after she paid her dues, she can be free to go.
She most likely purchased that lie as a result of it got here from Artwork.
I like a last-second twist, and Artwork being the large boss was definitely that!
He appeared like a good man when Colter and Bobby first met him at his gymnasium, and he is the one who instructed them about Solar’s visa points, which on reflection was idiotic contemplating that is what ultimately led them to him.
Would they’ve gotten there ultimately? Certainly. However he definitely helped pace up the timeline.
This can be essentially the most motion we have seen Colter have interaction in throughout Tracker Season 1, at the very least relating to combating scenes that lasted various seconds. He acquired some good beatdowns on these guys, and he did not get shot or stabbed or maimed.
He walked away with a bruised noggin, however that is all in a day’s work for Colter Shaw.
I wasn’t even interested by the implications for Solar and her mom if ever identify was introduced up in all of the inevitable fallout from the unlawful combating. She was there in opposition to her will, nevertheless it would not have helped her case.
It was so fascinating to see Colter be the one to take an opportunity on the finish of Tracker Season 1 Episode 6 and ask Billie out for dinner solely to be rebuffed, after which see Colter rebuff Bobby and Reenie.
Bobby: What? Reenie: A lone wolf’s gonna lone wolf.
Colter places up these intense boundaries for his personal good and for what I assume he believes is the great of others. However I nearly surprise if he realizes how a lot these individuals care about him.
I do know he likes to maintain individuals at arm’s size as a result of that works for him, however does he see how a lot they worth him? And on the flip aspect, do they see how a lot he values them?
I do know it is a procedural, but when I acquired an entire hour of Colter simply diving into the stuff from his previous, with everybody within the flesh serving to him get solutions and likewise simply being there for him as he navigates by means of an extended of buried and sophisticated feelings, I might be a really blissful camper.
Tracker Notes
Bobby and Solar had been so cute collectively! I hope they exit for that drink and focus on different issues moreover her web site.
Reenie is an efficient particular person. She’s everywhere in the nation as a lot as Colter helps individuals! And he or she even does it typically free of charge!
I wasn’t even interested by the truth that, technically, Bobby needs to be paying Colter since he enlisted his assist. However I like that Colter did not settle for fee AND referred to him as a buddy. We like to see that!
Right me if I am unsuitable, however Colter was wanting on the folder he stole throughout Tracker Season 1 Episode 2, proper? We acquired some references to the Shaw Household drama right here, however possibly we’re on the brink of get again into it quickly!
Let’s have Colter preserve heading east! I want him within the Large Apple pronto.
Tracker is discovering its groove, and the instances of the week proceed to entertain!
Let me know within the feedback what you considered this hour, and since we’re greater than midway by means of the season, what else you’d wish to see earlier than issues get wrapped up!
