It’s been four months since Justin Hartley’s hit survivalist drama Tracker aired its Season 3 finale and left viewers craving more Colter Shaw adventures.
asserted
drama → air → adventures
For those who need a refresher, Tracker Season 3, Episode 22, “The Best Ones,” saw Colter and his brother Russell (Jensen Ackles) save two kids from the government’s top-secret Chrono Stasis program that their father was involved with.
asserted
father → need → that
But while Colter seemingly got closure on his dad’s mysterious life and death, Russell made a dangerous deal with McIntyre (Glenn Morshower) to prevent more troubling information about their dad from reaching his brother.

Russell → get → brother
After Russell left town to follow McIntyre’s orders, Colter reunited with his pal Keaton (Brent Sexton).

In an interview with TV Insider, Hartley teased Season 4, saying, “There’ll be something that sort of haunts Colter and you’ll see a little bit of a hint of it in the premiere.
asserted
you → tease → premiere
And then of course, as we do on Tracker, it comes back full circle, but you’ll start to see something that has been around and lingering for a bit that we reintroduce in Colter’s life, but I guess introduce to the audience for the first time in this season.
asserted
I → do → season

But the major takeaways you need heading into Season 4 are that Colter ended the season at a home base of sorts.
asserted
Colter → need → sorts
He walked into a furnished garage, grabbed a beer out of the fridge, and his pal Keaton (Brent Sexton) rolled up hauling Ashton’s old truck from Echo Ridge.

Colter told Keaton that the off-grid location was “a long story,” but called it “home, sort of.”

Keaton reminded Colter that “Nobody’s perfect.”Colter

replied, “Not even close,” because his dad was flawed as hell!

(Aside from the mysterious file, don’t forget Colter’s mom touched on Ashton’s anger issues last week!)
asserted
mom → forget → issues
After Colter noted how bad his dad was at fixing cars, Season 3 ended with him sitting in the truck, saying, “I’ll get you up and running again.”
asserted
I → note → you
We know Season 4 will follow the pro-tracker/ survivalist on more investigations, with Tracker relocating to Los Angeles, so we can’t wait to see what sunny West Coast adventures await!
asserted
adventures → know → Angeles
Maybe they’ll even involve that truck!
asserted
they → involve → truck
Season 3’s finale also saw Russell make a deal to work for McIntyre in exchange for his eventual freedom and Ashton’s file, which holds damning information.

Before Russell headed off on his secret assignment, he called Reenie and begged her to cover for him.

“He’s in at least one [episode], and we’ll have him back when we can.

Hartley → think → August
But Tracker is putting Ashton’s file on the back burner…
asserted
Tracker → put → burner
“What’s he been up to is he won’t tell me.
asserted
he → tell → me
I mean, there’s a quid pro quo thing that happened at the end of Season 3, and he’s like, ‘As long as my brother doesn’t find out about this, I’ll do this thing for you,’” Hartley said.
asserted
Hartley → mean → you
“But when we find him and when he reaches out to Colter, he needs help with something.
asserted
he → find → something
One of his buddies is in dire straits, big time dire straits — and not a self-inflicted thing, just sort of something that happened to him, and he thinks of his brother Colter, and he’s like, ‘I bet you Colter can help you with this.’
asserted
Colter → inflict → this
