Hey there, fans of Justin Hartley’s Tracker! It's been a while since we last saw Bobby Exley, played by Eric Graise, the tech-savvy genius who's been a crucial part of Colter Shaw’s team. Bobby’s been absent for a number of episodes, and trust me, fans have been buzzing about it. So, what’s the deal with Bobby? Is he coming back to Tracker? Let’s dive into everything we know so far.
When Was the Last Time We Saw Bobby on 'Tracker'?
Let’s rewind a bit. The last time we saw Bobby was in Season 2, Episode 9, titled “The Disciple.” In that episode, Bobby played a pivotal role in helping Colter solve a high-profile case involving Gina Picket, a young woman who went missing from work. With Bobby's tech expertise and the help of his team, including ex-cop Keaton, they managed to take down a dangerous serial killer who called himself "Teacher." Bobby's contribution was crucial to cracking the case, but after that episode, he vanished from the storyline.
Fast forward to Season 2, Episode 10, and Bobby was nowhere to be found. Instead, his cousin Randy, played by Chris Lee, stepped in to handle all of Colter’s tech needs. Randy, who has a similar skill set to Bobby, had previously assisted Colter on a case. It seems like the showrunners decided to bring Randy in to keep things moving while Bobby was MIA.

What Happened to Bobby? The Show Offers Clues
During one of Colter’s cases, Randy called in to explain Bobby's absence. "Bobby's dealing with some family stuff," Randy told Colter during their phone conversation. "But he wanted to make sure he didn’t leave you hanging." This brief explanation gave viewers a glimpse into Bobby’s personal life, but it left us wanting more details.
Colter recognized Randy from a previous case where he hacked into a police server. "Some of my best work," Randy replied with a touch of humor. He added, "And for the record, I’m the one who showed him how to jailbreak his phone, so you're all good." With that, Randy continued to assist Colter on his cases, filling in the tech gap left by Bobby's absence.
It wasn’t until Season 2, Episode 15, that we got more insight into Bobby’s situation. Colter revealed that he had been texting Bobby but hadn’t received any replies. He learned that Bobby had attended the funeral of a close friend and was going through a tough time. "You know how he gets. He doesn’t like to talk about personal stuff," Randy explained. It was clear that Bobby was deeply affected by the loss, as Randy added, "They were like brothers." Colter understood Bobby's need for time to grieve and expressed hope that he would return to the team soon.
Randy assured Colter that Bobby would eventually return, saying, "No way out but through." Fans were left hopeful that Bobby would rejoin the team in the near future.
Fans Are Curious About Bobby's Absence
It’s no surprise that fans have been vocal about Bobby’s absence. Social media has been flooded with posts from viewers expressing their concern and curiosity. "Bobby… please come back!!!" one fan wrote on X after Episode 14 aired. Another commented, "I am enjoying this season of Tracker a lot, but please give me Bobby back??" Clearly, Bobby’s absence has been noticed, and fans are eager to see him back in action.
One fan summed up the collective sentiment by saying, "WHERE THE HELL DID BOBBY GO?! He was sort of the only reason I kept watching because I love him." Another fan chimed in, asking, "Where is Bobby? We deserve to know if Eric Graise is coming back." It’s clear that Bobby’s character resonates with the audience, and his return is highly anticipated.

Could Bobby Be Returning to 'Tracker'?
There’s good news for fans who miss Bobby. Tracker star Fiona Rene, who plays lawyer Reenie Greene, hinted at Bobby’s potential return during a recent interview with TV Insider. "Can we just talk about Randy for a second?" Fiona said. "I love Chris Lee with everything in my body. He’s been such a wonderful addition to the Bobby dynamic, and I’m very excited to see them together." Her comments suggest that Bobby and Randy might team up in a future episode, which could be a fun twist for viewers.
Fiona was also asked if she could imagine a scenario where Randy, Bobby, Velma, and Reenie all work together. "I don’t know. But we love it. We love to manifest this," she replied. Fiona emphasized the show's commitment to bringing in fresh talent each episode, which keeps things exciting. "Every episode we’re offering new jobs, and it’s not just the same series regulars that are working all the time," she added.
In addition, Deadline reported earlier this year that Chris Lee signed on in a recurring role opposite Eric Graise for Season 2. While the exact number of episodes Chris is expected to appear in hasn’t been disclosed, it’s clear that Randy’s character has become an integral part of the show, and his continued presence could pave the way for Bobby’s eventual return.
