Tracker Season 1 Episode 7 Review: Chicago

Colter lastly had a case in a significant 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 mildew so far as circumstances of the week go, but it surely was the primary time we spent prolonged time with Bobby, and that alone makes it one of many higher installments of the primary season.

Outside of Reenie, we had but to see Colter in the identical bodily house because the individuals who repeatedly assist him on his numerous circumstances.

We 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 finally we would get some perception into the person behind the cellphone, and we lastly bought it.

Much like Colter, I initially thought Sun 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, but it surely was nonetheless good to know Colter would come actually in a single day to assist Bobby when he referred to as.

Sun 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 aggravating to take care of that, particularly once you should not have the means to rent the very best of the very best relating to the authorized facet of the scenario.

So typically, folks cannot afford enough illustration and discover themselves in worse form due to it.

Sun and her mom trusted somebody who was a scammer, which value them extra than simply cash.

George/Marv was a scammer by 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 approach out of.

But the set-up for him was excellent, as he tricked unsuspecting folks on their final ropes into accepting his assist after which fed them to a pack of vicious mortgage sharks.

Poor Sun wasn’t attempting to do one thing insidious or evil, but she discovered herself on this inconceivable scenario with extremely harmful folks.

We know that Colter likes to work by himself, for numerous 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 folks have a ‘in order for you one thing carried out proper, do it your self’ mindset, and whereas which will play a bit in Colter’s thoughts, his want 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 abilities to assist others, however he is not likely attempting to broaden his social circle or make deep-seated connections that may include having an on a regular basis associate.

All the folks in Colter’s life who’re, on the very least, acquaintances are saved a substantial distance away, whether or not that be by precise bodily or emotional distance.

Colter has plenty 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 at the moment.

I additionally suppose Colter needs to keep away from taking up the accountability of somebody getting harm or needing to shift his personal consideration away from the duty at hand.

(*1*)

It’s not about not trusting Bobby or not wanting his assist all through the Sun case; it is Colter’s want to maintain him protected. He’ll put himself in peril, however he cannot be fearful about Bobby being in peril.

Ultimately, although, this was a case the place Bobby was not solely exceptionally useful however in the end the one who helped each Colter and Sun get out of that constructing.

Sometimes, it takes the entire hour to determine who the dangerous man is or what their motive could also be. But we discovered fairly early that the mortgage sharks had been those who took Sun, after which it simply turned a matter of the place she was being held and learn how to get her again.

Knowing 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 Sun 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 bought inside comparatively shortly, and Colter even bought into the locker room with out anybody getting in his approach.

Sun was so scared, and if Colter hadn’t dropped the Bobby card, I’m undecided she would have left with him as a result of she genuinely believed that when she paid her dues, she could be free to go.

She most likely purchased that lie as a result of it got here from Art.

I really like a last-second twist, and Art being the massive boss was actually that!

(*7*)

He appeared like a good man when Colter and Bobby first met him at his fitness center, and he is the one who instructed them about Sun’s visa points, which looking back was idiotic contemplating that is what finally led them to him.

Would they’ve gotten there finally? Surely. But he actually helped velocity up the timeline.

This stands out as the most motion we have seen Colter interact in throughout Tracker Season 1, a minimum of relating to combating scenes that lasted quite a lot of seconds. He bought 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 enthusiastic about the implications for Sun and her mom if ever title was introduced up in all of the inevitable fallout from the unlawful combating. She was there in opposition to her will, but it surely 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. But I nearly surprise if he realizes how a lot these folks care about him.

I do know he likes to maintain folks 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 facet, do they see how a lot he values them?

I do know this can be a procedural, but when I bought a complete 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 an extended of buried and complicated feelings, I’d be a really blissful camper.

Tracker Notes

Bobby and Sun had been so cute collectively! I hope they exit for that drink and talk about different issues moreover her web site.

Reenie is an effective particular person. She’s all around the nation as a lot as Colter helps folks! And she even does it typically at no cost!

I wasn’t even enthusiastic about the truth that, technically, Bobby needs to be paying Colter since he enlisted his assist. But I like that Colter did not settle for fee AND referred to him as a good friend. We like to see that!

Correct me if I’m unsuitable, however Colter was wanting on the folder he stole throughout Tracker Season 1 Episode 2, proper? We bought some references to the Shaw Family drama right here, however possibly we’re on the point of get again into it quickly!

Let’s have Colter preserve heading east! I want him within the Big Apple pronto.

Tracker is discovering its groove, and the circumstances 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 the season, what else you’d wish to see earlier than issues get wrapped up!
