Hey there, fans of 'Tracker'! The season 2 finale is just around the corner, and CBS has already dropped a sneak peek at what's coming up. The episode titled "Echo Ridge" is set to air on May 11, and it promises to be an unforgettable ride. Now, let’s dive into what we know so far.
Here's the official logline: "Colter returns to Echo Ridge to investigate a diner owner’s disappearance, only to uncover a decades-old kidnapping and a shocking family secret, on the season two finale of the CBS Original series TRACKER, Sunday, May 11 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)." That’s right — it’s going to be packed with twists and turns, and it looks like Colter is about to face some hard truths.
Who's Behind the Camera?
The episode was directed by the talented Ken Olin and written by the brilliant Elwood Reid, according to the press release.

Family Secrets Unveiled
Throughout season 2, family secrets have taken center stage as Colter Shaw continues his relentless search for answers about his father's murder, Ashton Shaw. This season has been all about uncovering hidden truths, and it seems like the finale will deliver the biggest revelation yet. Maybe, just maybe, Colter will get one step closer to solving the mystery of what happened to his dad that fateful night when he ran into the woods and was found dead.
We've already seen flashbacks from that life-changing night when Colter discovered his father's body. But the real question remains: Who is the killer? So far, Colter’s older brother, Russell Shaw, has denied any involvement, leaving their mother, Mary Shaw, at the center of many fan theories. Fans are buzzing with speculation about what really happened to Ashton, and this finale might just provide some clarity.

What's Next for Colter?
Justin Hartley, who plays Colter Shaw, hinted earlier that Ashton’s murder might remain unsolved after season 2. But don't worry, fans — there will likely be more major clues dropped about that tragic day. Justin wants the story to unfold naturally, without rushing to wrap things up just for the sake of the season finale.
“I don’t like the idea of wrapping things up in a pretty little bow just for the sake of the fact that it’s the final episode of the season," Justin told TV Insider in a February 16 interview. "We write to the plot so that everyone’s like, oh, great, everything’s perfect and fine, and we can go and make a third season. I don’t really like that idea. I’m not really interested in that. I’m more interested in propelling the story in a way that makes sense, and if it ends up being four episodes or 44 episodes or 144 episodes to tell the most compelling story, then that’s what it is.”
“Not just trying to get more episodes in the bag or trying to finish a story in time," he added. "I think there’s a beautiful way to tell a story in sort of the best way, and I think that’s what we should do. And all the writers are on board with that, too, everyone wants to do that.”
CBS has officially confirmed that Tracker will return for season 3, so it’s no surprise if Ashton’s murder continues to be a major storyline. Fans are on the edge of their seats, waiting to see how season 2 wraps up in this thrilling finale.
