In the world of 'Tracker,' every mission is a high-stakes game, and the stakes just got higher. In an upcoming episode of 'Tracker' season 2, one of Colter Shaw's most trusted allies, Billie Matalon, steps into the spotlight. She's risking everything to help him out, even if it means going undercover in a place where danger lurks around every corner—a women's prison.
Billie Goes Undercover: What's at Stake?
A sneak peek from TV Insider gives us a glimpse into the intense world Billie is about to enter. Wearing a blue jumpsuit with her hands shackled, Billie visits Reenie Greene in a prison visitation room. This isn't your average meet-up. Billie's in deep, playing the part of a prisoner to gain access to critical information that could help track down an escaped convict and her hostage.
As Billie confronts Reenie, her frustration is palpable. "You're telling me he can't be bothered to show up?" Billie asks, clearly referring to Colter Shaw's absence. Reenie's response is measured but firm: "He doesn't want to blow your cover." Billie's skepticism is evident as she responds with a curt "Right." But Reenie knows the risks and explains why Colter's decision, though frustrating, makes sense.

Rules of Engagement: The Ground Rules
Reenie lays out the ground rules for Billie's mission. "No one bats an eye at a lawyer visiting her client," she explains, trying to reassure Billie. But Billie's not easily convinced. "Temporary client. No offense, but I'm not the biggest fan of lawyers," she fires back. Reenie doesn't miss a beat, responding with a truth that resonates: "No one is until they need one."
Reenie continues, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. "Look, the warden has one guard in critical condition, another one taken hostage, and a missing fugitive. He can't afford a single misstep. The only reason why he agreed to this is because of Detective Brock's niece. So let's just lay some ground rules." It's clear that Billie's mission is not just risky—it's crucial to the larger picture.
Billie's Game Plan
Billie isn't new to this game. She tells Reenie, "This isn't my first time in jail, you know." Reenie acknowledges her experience but reminds her to stay safe. Billie's cover is solid—she's memorized her alias, going undercover as an inmate serving a 10-year bid for drug trafficking. Overcrowding led to her transfer, a detail that adds authenticity to her role.
Reenie gives Billie a lifeline: "Anything gets too hot, you ask for Hollander. She's the only guard who knows who you really are. You can reach me through her." Billie repeats the instructions, ensuring she's got it: "Ask for Hollander, got it." It's a simple plan, but in the high-pressure world of prison, simplicity can be a lifesaver.
As Reenie prepares to leave the room, she turns around and shares a revealing insight. "You know I can see why Colter likes you," she says, hinting at a deeper connection between Billie and Colter. Billie glances over her shoulder, responding with a simple but meaningful "Likewise." It's a moment that speaks volumes about their relationship, even in the midst of a high-stakes operation.
What's Next for Billie?
Hollander enters the room to escort Billie back to her cell, signaling the end of their meeting. The details of how Billie initially ends up undercover in prison are still a mystery, but we'll uncover them in season 2, episode 15, titled "The Grey Goose." The official logline promises an intense episode: "Colter recruits fellow rewardist Billie Matalon (Sofia Pernas) to infiltrate a women's prison in order to gain access to critical information that would help track down an escaped prisoner and her hostage."

Diana Maria Riva returns as Detective Helen Brock in the upcoming Sunday, March 30, episode, adding another layer of intrigue to the story. Fans have been eagerly waiting for Sofia Pernas' return as Billie, teased earlier by Justin Hartley. "He calls on a favor," Justin explained in a February 16 interview with TV Insider. "She doesn’t remember owing him any favors, so he has to remind her. And then she comes in and delivers and does exactly what he asked for. And then by the end, he realizes that maybe he asked for too much."
The episode promises a raw and honest moment between Colter and Billie, delving deeper into their complex relationship. "There’s a lot of feelings there and a lot of emotion there. And you see it in this episode," Justin revealed. With 'Tracker' airing on CBS on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET and streaming on Paramount+, fans won't want to miss what's shaping up to be a pivotal moment in the series.
