CBSAnd so, the end is near. We’re a mere few minutes away from finding out the truth behind Colter’s dad’s death, if Tracker Season 2 Episode 20 makes good on its promising cliffhanger.
Even though it was Reenie who was on death’s door last time we watched the binge-worthy TV show, all eyes are back on Colter. Don’t worry, though – Colter was able to save Reenie’s life after she was kidnapped by Cyrus’ little sister Francie.
The pair’s relationship has been on-off again, with the kidnapping arguably bringing them closer together in a way neither expected.
Still, it’s a question mark that’s going to need to be on hold for the time being. The second season of the hit TV show is being brought to an end, and Tracker Season 2 Episode 20 promises to be an explosive finale.

CBSAll Season 2 episodes so far have been between 40-45 minutes, and there’s no reason for anything to change during the home stretch.
If any episode of Tracker Season 2 is going to be significantly longer, it will be this, given it’s the season finale. If it is longer, fans shouldn’t expect it to breach the 60-minute mark.
What will happen in Season 2 Episode 20?
Season 2 Episode 20 will involve Colter returning to Echo Ridge to investigate a diner owner’s disappearance, only to uncover a decades-old kidnapping and a shocking family secret.
Given what happened at the end of Episode 19, we can assume this family secret is related to Colter’s dad’s death. If you’re a long-time Tracker fan, you’ll know Colter and Dory have been plagued by the contents of a mysterious box that likely has something to do with how their dad died. In Season 2 Episode 19, Colter finally opens it, setting up another cliffhanger just in time for the season finale.
The significance of the box bookends everything that happens with Reenie in this episode, with Dory giving Colter the box at the beginning between her classes. You might remember that Lizzy, Dory’s childhood friend, gave her the box to begin with during Season 1.
At the time, Lizzy dropped a huge bombshell. Dad Ashton worked with Lizzy’s mother, first being coworkers and then lovers. This is how Lizzy’s mother was in possession of a file box full of Ashton’s research papers, which was the same box Lizzy had already turned over to Dory.
By the end of Season 2 Episode 19, Colter has worked up the courage to open the box. Inside, he finds lots of papers, a whittled animal, some rocks, and notebooks full of scribblings. However, there’s a folded piece of paper hidden in the spine of one of these notebooks.
What’s written on the paper, I hear you ask? A phone number, which of course we see Colter dial just before the episode closes out. The number itself appears to be disconnected, setting a foreboding and eerie cliffhanger in place ahead of the season finale.
What this actually means for the season finale – not to mention Colter and Dory – we don’t yet know, but Colter has had his own theories brewing for a while.
“Lizzy said that her mother and our dad got into a fight the night that he dropped the box off,” we see him tell Dory. “I’m thinking maybe it was because he was pressuring her to do something with it because he’d lost his academic credibility…. I can’t help but think that there is something in that box that’s connected to what happened to Dad the night he died.”
