Gina’s unsolved disappearance kicks offTrackerseason 2, with the premiere officially introducing Gina’s case and her sister, Camille, intoTracker’scast of charactersas Colter’s on-again-off-again love interest. While Gina’s case and Colter’s romance with Camille came seemingly out of nowhere, the decade-lasting cold case has been on Colter’s mind since at leastTrackerseason 1, with one comment proving his loyalty.
It makes sense that Colter has thought about Gina and Camille throughout the story. Gina’s mysterious disappearance goes unsolved in tandem with what happened to Colter’s father onTracker,which has gone unanswered since the season 1 premiere. Heading into the second half ofTrackerseason 2, it looks like Gina’s case could finally round a vital corner as Colter prepares to team up with Keaton again. This development could resolve Gina’s story, which emerged in season 1, episode 9.

Colter Shaw: “One. From when I first started this job. And the death of my father.”

Why Tracker Season 2 Needs To Solve Gina Picket’s Case Sooner Rather Than Later
Colter Needs To Move On
Colter needs to tie up Gina’s case sooner rather than later so that he can move on and figure out what happened regarding his father’s mysterious death.Colter’s interest in Gina’s case has overshadowed his involvement in Ashton Shaw’s mysteryin season 2. The tracker uncovered vital details in his family mystery at the end ofTrackerseason 1, but Colter has yet to follow up on those developments in the show’s sophomore outing.

Fortunately, Colter’s Gina Picket case could come to a head early in 2025, with theTrackerseason 2 midseason premiere synopsispromising Colter will progress in his white whale case. Colter’s potential conflict with Teacher behind him means he can refocus on what happened to his father. After finding answers for Camille about what happened to her sister, the progress could encourage Colter to seek a resolution to his family’s mystery, including his mother and sister’s mysterious involvement. That would be good news for Justin Hartley’s show heading into the back half ofTrackerseason 2.
