CBS’s Tracker season two episode 15 brings back guest stars Diana Maria Riva as Detective Helen Brock (season one episode nine) and Sofia Pernas, the spouse of series star Justin Hartley, as Billie Matalon (season one episode six and season two episode three). Episode 15 finds Colter in Aurora, Vermont, and on the trail of a kidnapped prison guard.
The episode begins with Justine Campos, a prisoner, escaping from custody during her transport to the hospital. Justine knocks out one of the prison guards and takes the driver, Rachel, hostage.
The following morning, Colter rolls up on the crime scene and reunites with Detective Helen Brock. It turns out Rachel is Brock’s niece, and Helen knows firsthand how talented Colter is at tracking missing people. Justine is serving time for two murders and was being transported to a hospital after getting into a fight with her cellmate, Miggy.
The injured prison guard isn’t stable enough to provide details. Helen feels guilty because she got her niece the job. Colter assures her she’s not responsible. Helen reveals that Justine is armed and dangerous and confesses she’s worried that ultimately Rachel will be expendable and killed.
Colter thinks Justine is heading to her boyfriend, who lives in Montreal. The boyfriend claims he has no idea where she is, but they suspect he’s lying. Colter discovers a homemade shiv and thinks Justine used it to escape from her cuffs. He notices there aren’t any footpaths nearby, and hitchhiking wouldn’t work with a hostage.
There’s a rest stop a mile away, and Colter has Randy check the footage. The getaway car was likely aware of the cameras and attempted to evade them. Randy scans the footage and sees a van with a family and a jeep with a single male occupant pulling away around the time the prison vehicle should have passed by. Randy checks if the Jeep has a GPS they can track, and while he’s looking for it, he and Colter discuss Bobby. Bobby’s close friend just died, and the funeral’s this week. He’s ghosting Colter, and Randy promises to check in on him.
Randy gets info on the Jeep and passes it along. Colter and Helen follow the Jeep’s GPS to a remote location. Helen hands Colter a badge and announces his official deputization before the investigation continues. The department doesn’t offer cash rewards, so being on the payroll is the only way he’ll receive payment.
They’re not far from the road when they find the Jeep under some camouflage. It’s empty. Colter follows a trail and finds an underground ventilation pipe. He believes it leads to an underground fallout shelter. Colter and Helen search the area and discover a metal door. It appears that someone has opened it recently, so Colter and Helen proceed with caution.
Colter climbs down first and finds items that belong to a grow operation. Fresh fast food on the table indicates whoever’s using it just took off. Colter finds a safe, but the shelves are empty. It’s clear that the getaway driver and the escaped fugitive are now holding Rachel.
Helen finds a paper with a local phone number, and Colter calls Randy to find out who it belongs to. He runs a quick search and finds it’s a burner with a disabled GPS. Randy analyzes the metadata and finds the number pings back to the state prison. That means someone on the inside was helping Justine out. Maybe Justine and her cellmate, Miggy, staged the fight to get Justine out of prison.
Before Colter hangs up, he asks Randy to find out who owns this underground shelter.
Colter thinks they need to get someone inside the prison who no one knows is working with the cops to talk to the cellmate. He can’t do it, obviously, so he calls Billie, who’s in Boston. She owes him a favor, and Colter convinces her fairly easily to help out.
Helen wonders if he can trust Billie, and Colter thinks so, but he can’t really explain their relationship. It’s complicated. Helen gets the warden to agree with their plan.
There’s been a sighting of the fugitive at Mel’s Car Shop, and Colter and Helen speed over to check it out. The shop owner called in the tip. Colter looks around and finds the owner’s dead body. He also finds the dead getaway driver, which indicates they got into a shootout while the owner was calling in the tip.
Rachel and Justine left the scene in a stolen car.
Billie is brought to the prison in cuffs, and her arrival is greeted by whoops and whistles from the prisoners. She’s immediately taken into a room to meet with Reenie (Fiona Rene), who explains Colter didn’t want to blow her cover. Billie’s job is to determine if the cellmate is collaborating with Justine and to find out where Justine’s heading. Billie will pretend to be Alicia Matador, who is serving time for drug trafficking. Reenie warns her to be safe. If she needs anything, she should ask for Prison Guard Hollander. Hollander will then contact Reenie.
Hollander introduces herself and escorts Billlie into the line of new prisoners walking the halls to their cells. Reenie calls Velma with an update on Billie’s arrival at the prison. Reenie will be flying out for a court appearance and has given Hollander Velma’s info in case she needs anything.
Back at Mel’s Car Shop, Helen tells Colter the shootout involved three guns. The third one was from the injured prison guard’s government-issued handgun. The getaway driver has been identified as a local ex-con with no obvious connection to Justine. Colter realizes that means he’s likely got a connection to the prison.
As Billie settles into her cell, she finds a hidden package. Miggy arrives and claims everything in the cell is hers—even Billie, if she wants her. Billie doesn’t back down.
Randy discovers the getaway driver’s sister is in prison. Her name’s Maria Barata, and she goes by Mamma Roach. Colter is going to pass that information along to Billie. Meanwhile, Billie spots her cellmate talking to Mamma Roach.
Randy has taken a deep dive into who owns the fallout shelter and has come up with nothing yet, except a tangle of LLCs all under the Williams Group Incorporated shell company. He sends Colter the only address he could locate on the shell company, and it’s relatively close to the fallout shelter.
Helen examines the map and determines that Rachel’s movements have remained within the same area as the shelter, as far as she can tell. She’s worried because now there’s a “shoot on sight” order, and she doesn’t want her niece accidentally shot.
Colter’s sure they’ll find her.
Later, Miggy’s playing cards, and Billie asks to be dealt in. Miggy refuses, and Billie assures her she’s loyal and can be a beneficial friend. She’s even willing to pay to be friends. The card players attack Billie, and Billie easily deals with them before Miggy calls her off. Billie’s bunkmate says that if she wants in, she must get past Mamma.
Colter and Helen head to the LLC’s address as Rachel calls. She’s frantic and reveals she jumped out of the car. Rachel grabbed Justine’s burner and claims Justine is heading northeast. She’s somewhere near Twin Pines, but Rachel didn’t see the vehicle Justine is driving.
Colter has Randy trace Rachel’s number just as he receives a text from Reenie. Reenie passes along the message that Billie learned Mama Roach has guards in her pocket. Helen radios in the news that the fugitive may be in the Twin Pines motel, but Colter thinks something’s fishy. Why didn’t Rachel know anything about the car, yet she knew they were heading northeast?
Colter reminds Helen that Rachel was the driver of the transport vehicle and would have known when they were leaving and where they were heading.
While that uncomfortable conversation’s going on, Rachel and Justine are arguing over money missing from the bunker. Rachel tells Justine that she messed up and needs to make it right. Given the connection between the bunker and Justine’s family, Rachel instructs her to reach out to them to uncover the truth. Justine doesn’t want to, but Rachel, who has the gun, forces her to comply. If Justine doesn’t, then Rachel will kill her family.
Colter asks Helen if there’s anything in Rachel’s past that suggests she might be involved in this. Helen doesn’t think so, but Rachel’s had a tough life. Helen doesn’t want to believe her niece is dirty. She won’t step back from the case because she doesn’t want anyone else hurt.
Randy locates the burner phone, and it’s nowhere near the Twin Pines motel. Rachel’s obviously trying to shake off Helen and the cops.
Mamma Roach warns Billie not to harm any of “her girls” during their meeting. Billie assures Mamma she is keen to work with her. However, Miggy has done some checking and learned no one at Billie’s old prison has ever heard of an Alicia Matador. Is it just a weird coincidence she got transferred the day after Justine broke out? Mamma accuses her of being a rat but then explains that Rachel helped Justine escape because Justine was bragging about her stepmom sitting on a large pile of cash.
It turns out Mamma felt free to tell the truth because she knew what was coming next. Miggy tries to kill Billie with a homemade knife. Billie calls out for Hollander after knocking the air out of her bunkmate, and Hollander rushes in, pulling her to safety.
Colter and Helen arrive at the burner phone’s last location and find the smashed phone. Reenie calls and fills them in on what Billie just found out from Mamma Roach. (Billie’s out of prison since she got the answers.) Rachel is definitely in on it. The plan was for Justine to guide them to the money, after which Mamma Roach’s brother, the getaway driver, would take them to the bunker.
Reenie has learned that Justine’s stepmom works for a medical marijuana company that is a subsidiary of the Williams Group. Since they haven’t fled the area, that must mean they’re going to meet with Justine’s stepmom, Cassandra, to find out where the missing money from the bunker has been moved.
Night falls, and Rachel and Justine are parked outside her stepmom’s office, waiting for everyone to leave. Rachel calls Mamma Roach with an update and breaks the news that her brother was killed in a shootout. Once they take the money from Cassandra’s office, they will need help to escape.
Mamma Roach wants nothing more to do with this plan, and Rachel threatens to withhold her share of the money. Mamma Roach, unafraid of Rachel, threatens to spill blood if she doesn’t get her money.
Colter obtains Cassandra’s work address, and Helen decides not to call for backup just yet. She doesn’t want Rachel shot and promises to bring her in herself. Colter agrees to follow Helen’s lead.
Justine asks her stepmom for the money, and Cassandra claims there isn’t any inside the building. Cassandra changes her stance when Rachel threatens to shoot her. She leads them to the safe, and Justine and Rachel pack up the money.
As soon as they’ve loaded their bags, Helen appears and tells Rachel to drop her weapon. Rachel doesn’t, and Colter sneaks up from behind, ordering her to put it down. Rachel tries to put the gun to her temple, but Colter stops her. Once she’s disarmed, Helen places her under arrest.
After Rachel’s driven away, Colter hands Helen his badge. He knows that everyone has blind spots when it comes to their family. Helen shouldn’t lose faith in everyone. Having faith is a strength, not a weakness.
Episode 15 ends with Colter showing up at Billie’s hotel with alcohol and an apology. He’s sorry this was much more than a simple favor. Billie believes Colter owes her for life and asks why he’s really there. Colter claims he wants to make sure she’s okay, and it’s obvious Billie isn’t. Colter apologizes again, which leads to a kiss, which in turn leads to the removal of clothing.

Life is relentlessly difficult for the Duttons, and Paramount+’s 1923 season two episode six delivers a series of heartbreaking events. Just when you think the key characters are finally edging closer to a reunion at Yellowstone Ranch, the writers pull the rug out from under them.
And now our recap of season two episode six, “The Mountain Teeth of Monsters.” There are spoilers ahead!
The Duttons gather around the breakfast table for a relatively peaceful breakfast that doesn’t hint at the battle looming on the horizon. Zane (Brian Geraghty) is eager to get back on a horse, but Jacob (Harrison Ford) reminds him that not even a bruise heals in a week. Both Jacob and Cara (Helen Mirren) have relaxed smiles, noting this is the first time since before the war that every seat at the table is filled.
Sheriff McDowell (Robert Patrick) interrupts their breakfast with news that Spencer’s on his way to Bozeman. Jacob admits he hoped Spencer was heading home, but the news isn’t all good. Switchboard operators have probably passed the information on to Whitfield. Jacob and McDowell believe Spencer’s heading to the Livingston station. After a brief argument, they agree that some of Yellowstone’s cowboys will join the deputies guarding the station.
If Denver’s open, then Spencer’s two days away. If it’s snowed in, he’ll be delayed and forced to go through Fargo. Jacob understands the gravity of the situation and warns McDowell what will happen if Whitfield kills Spencer. “I swear to God, I will burn his f**king house to the ground with him in it.”

Banner Learns Spencer’s Incredibly Dangerous
Banner (Jerome Flynn) drinks with Clyde (Brian Konowal) and Alec (Colt Brown), two of Whitfield’s men who have infiltrated the Livestock Commission, and discuss the impending arrival of Spencer. Banner is shocked to learn that Spencer won the Medal of Honor with the First Infantry at Argonne. When Spencer returns, the plan is for him to take over control of the Yellowstone. Banner’s not going to admit to being impressed and thinks Spencer must have been hitting the bottle for the last six years. That assumption quickly evaporates when he’s informed that Spencer has been killing lions in Africa as a hunter for the British.
Banner orders the men to kill Spencer as soon as he steps off the train, admitting he would much rather fight Jacob than a war hero who kills big cats. Banner agrees they can take more men to the Livingston station. After Spencer dies, they’ll kill the rest of the Duttons.
Banner heads to Whitfield’s to fill him in on Spencer’s return. He’s worried Spencer will take over Jacob’s men and teach them military tactics. Whitfield (Timothy Dalton) doesn’t seem concerned and advises Banner to kill them all and leave them in their secret dumping spot, which will become the Duttons’ infamous “train station.”
Jacob Prepares for Spencer’s Arrival
That evening, Jacob meets with his men and confirms he will take Carl, Judge, and Spade with him to the Livingston station. The rest will stay on patrol at the Yellowstone, with Zane guarding the house. Jack (Darren Mann) wants to go to the station, but Jacob reminds him that their most precious things are Cara and Elizabeth. He needs to stay behind and help guard the gate.
Everyone takes up their positions, but Jack disobeys his uncle’s orders. Instead of staying at the gate, he rides off to catch up with Jacob. Jack’s sure three men aren’t enough and that he should join them at the station.
Cara and Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph) are chatting about the fight over their when Zane interrupts. Cara knows it’s terrible news and sends Elizabeth off to fetch tea, giving Zane time to explain that Jack rode off alone to Livingston. Her reaction? “Stupid boy.”
The sun is rising as Jacob and his men arrive at the Livingston train station. Jacob nearly gets shot when he wakes Sheriff McDowell, who’s sleeping on one of the benches. McDowell learned that there’s a snowdrift blocking the train in Fargo. His best guess is that Spencer will arrive from Deadwood in two days.
McDowell hasn’t seen any of Banner’s men, and he and Jacob agree it’s a horrible place for a gunfight. Jacob steps outside and scans the area. He determines Banner’s goons will use the crowd as cover when they attack Spencer. That’s what he’d do if he were in Banner’s shoes. McDowell isn’t thrilled about having to sit around for three days, just waiting for Spencer and the expected gunfight.
Meanwhile, Jack hears someone riding up behind him and steers his horse into the trees. Clyde and Alec announce themselves as members of the Livestock Commission and confirm they’re also heading to the train station. Jack tells the men that Spencer is his father’s brother, and Alec admits that everyone thinks Spencer’s something special. Jack confirms that’s true and boasts that he’s a close second when it comes to gunfights. That response earns him a shot to the chest! Jack tumbles from his horse. A second bullet appears to finish him off. They tie a rope around his feet and drag him away from the road. Jack’s killers unsaddle his horse and let him wander off.
Spencer’s Stymied by Snow
Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) overhears an update on the train’s route that indicates a drift ahead could delay them by a week. He asks about the drift’s location, and the porter informs him that from Big Timber to Minneapolis, “the world is white.” The porter looks at his ticket and thinks that Spencer should switch trains in Fargo or Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls is his best bet, and the porter suggests Spencer get some sleep in his sleeping car. Spencer confesses he can’t sleep there, and the porter immediately understands that Spencer fought in the war. He agrees Spencer can sit where he is for as long as he wants.
Later, as he waits for his next train, Spencer strikes up a conversation with another passenger. They discuss the weather, and Spencer says there are only three seasons in the Rockies: July, August, and winter.

Teonna’s Losses Multiply
Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché) is furious that Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane) killed Pete. It’s just the latest murder in a long line of men and children Kent has killed while they hunt for Teonna. Father Renaud decides it’s Kent who needs justice and sends him straight to hell by shooting him twice in the chest. He adds a shot to the head and says, “Now you go scream with the devil.”
Teonna (Aminah Nieves) and her dad, Runs His Horse (Michael Spears), set up camp at night. Pete hasn’t returned, and Runs His Horse assumes he’s staying put for the night wherever he is so that he won’t get lost. Teonna confesses she knows in her heart that something is wrong.
Morning arrives, and Teonna and Runs His Horse discover Pete and Marshal Kent’s dead bodies. Teonna sobs, unsure of what to do next. Runs His Horse believes Pete gave his life so she could be free. They should now head home.
They make camp at night, and this time Runs His Horse lights a fire. Teonna wants to give up; she’s had enough of fighting for her life. Runs His Horse reminds her that they are Crow, and if she doesn’t live, their culture and history will be forgotten. When white men pave over the world and the world revolts, they’ll need someone to teach them how to live with the land.
Father Renaud is hiding nearby and watches as Runs His Horse and Teonna fall asleep. The horses get restless when Renaud approaches, and Runs’ horse wakes up. He sits up and grabs his pistol, but Father Renaud shoots first. Next, Father Renaud commends Teonna to Almighty God and hopes Christ will give her peace. He demands that she repeat after him and ask forgiveness for her sins. She refuses, and Father Renaud becomes emotional, insisting he’s trying to save her soul. Teonna renounces salvation, and Father Renaud says, “Then to the devil with you!”
He pulls the trigger, but he’s out of bullets. Teonna attacks Renaud with her hands before grabbing her father’s gun and killing him. She screams in anguish as she kneels by her father’s dead body.

Elizabeth Hits the Road with Hillary and Paul
Elizabeth (Julia Schlaepfer) recounts her and Spencer’s wild adventures that led up to her crying in a Chicago train station. She confirms she knows the location of Spencer’s family and is certain he’s aware that’s where she’s heading. Elizabeth admits she shouted from the ship’s stern that she’d meet him in Montana as he was being taken off the ship in a dinghy.
Hillary (Janet Montgomery) and Paul (Augustus Prew) are stunned, and Paul says, “I’m tempted to drive you to the home of Edgar Rice Burroughs and force him at gunpoint to write down every word as you told it.”
These acts of God keep thwarting her, but Paul and Hillary offer a solution. They’ll drive her to Montana in his car. Paul whips out a map and plans their route, noting that there’s a town called Buffalo, even though there are bison in the States, not buffalo. Their path should take them through St. Paul, Pierre, Big Timber, and Livingston, and then down to Emigrant, Montana. All together, that’s a 1,500-mile trip that should take three days. He’ll teach both women to drive so they can take turns. They’ll pack warm clothing, food, water, and of course, alcohol.
Paul raises his glass and toasts, “We journey the path of the pioneers in the name of lost love soon to be found.”
Western Wisconsin: Elizabeth gazes out the back seat window as she and Hillary enjoy a drink. They make it to Minnesota, and Elizabeth gets her first driving lesson. Hours pass, and now it’s Paul driving in the pitch-black night.
In Eastern South Dakota, they stop for a break in the middle of nowhere to relieve themselves. And then it’s on to the Rosebud Reservation, and Elizabeth smiles as wild horses race their car. Snow begins to fall as they drive through the reservation.
Elizabeth wakes, and it’s night. Paul informs her that they’ve hit a “spot of weather” now that they’re in Wyoming. He also confirms Buffalo is 15 miles ahead. They make it to a gas station, and the attendant places chains on their tires. The clerk tells Elizabeth and Hillary the chains will keep them from sliding off the road. She’s skeptical when they announce they’re driving to Emigrant, Montana. “Take the train in Sheridan. Car won’t make it.”
The clerk says a car can drive there; however, there aren’t any gas stations in some areas. Hillary’s unconvinced. The clerk shakes her head no at Elizabeth, and Elizabeth looks worried.
It’s freezing inside the car, but Hillary insists they’re accustomed to frigid temperatures since they live in Chicago. Paul suggests to Elizabeth that she get down on the floorboards where it’s warmer. After she does, Paul and Hillary exchange glances, and Paul passes his gloves to Hillary. They look at the gas gauge, and the needle’s sitting at just a quarter of a tank. They agree this is quite the adventure.
Elizabeth wakes in the morning, shivering, and she can see her breath. The car has stopped, and ice covers the windows. The needle indicates they ran out of gas. She leans forward to ask where Paul went and discovers that Hillary has frozen to death. Elizabeth opens the door and scans the horizon. A hundred yards up ahead lies Paul’s body. There’s nothing on the horizon to indicate their location, and the road has disappeared under the snow.
Episode six ends with Elsa’s voiceover noting that man destroys everything. Man’s been at war with the world since his arrival. “Life is a constant state of battle for survival,” says Elsa. There have been five mass extinction events, and odds are there will be a sixth.

Apple TV+’s first photos from Echo Valley showcase the dramatic thriller’s cast while not giving away any spoilers. The stills feature Oscar winner Julianne Moore, Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney, and Domhnall Gleeson.
“In the edge-of-your-seat thriller Echo Valley, Kate (Moore) is a mother struggling to make peace with her troubled daughter Claire (Sweeney)—a situation that becomes even more perilous when Claire shows up on Kate’s doorstep, hysterical and covered in someone else’s blood,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “As Kate pieces together the shocking truth of what happened, she learns just how far a mother will go to try to save her child in this gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and survival from BAFTA-winning director Michael Pearce and Emmy-nominated writer Brad Ingelsby.”
Speaking with Vanity Fair, Julianne Moore discussed the appeal of the thriller. “These are my favorite kinds of movies: movies about relationships,” said Moore. “What will people do for one another? What kind of decisions do you make? How far will you go?”
Moore also revealed that she’s not sure what the audience’s reaction will be. “There will be a sense, certainly, among parents going, like, ‘Well, would I do that? How far would I go?’ You’re left with those questions,” teased Moore.
The cast also includes Fiona Shaw, Edmund Donovan, Albert Jones, and Kyle MacLachlan. Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, Kevin J. Walsh, and Brad Ingelsby serve as producers, with Ted Deiker, Scott Greenberg, Erika Olde, Sam Roseme, Nicole Jordan-Webber, and Rebecca Feuer executive producing.
