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 agreed to help Colter fix up his dad’s old truck, and though Colter said he didn’t get all the answers he wanted, he learned his dad “was a good man in the end.”

Keaton reminded Colter that “Nobody’s perfect.”Colter
asserted
Nobody → remind → Colter
replied, “Not even close,” because his dad was flawed as hell!
asserted
dad → reply → 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
you → note → truck
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.
asserted
which → see → information
Before Russell headed off on his secret assignment, he called Reenie and begged her to cover for him.
asserted
he → head → him
She agreed, and he left without saying goodbye to his brother, all to protect him.

So will Tracker Season 4 check back in with Russell?

Have no fear, the Shaw brothers are both returning in Season 4.

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

asserted
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
