Tonight’s episode of Tracker, “Eat the Rich,” delivers one of the vital intense installments of the sequence up to now, starting with a disquieting opening through which a girl alone in her dwelling investigates a noise outdoors, reassures herself it was solely a tree department, after which is violently attacked when an intruder crashes via her window. The abrupt shift from calm to hazard units the tone for an episode steeped in concern, secrecy, and buried corruption.
Colter arrives in Boston pursuing new details about his father’s previous, assembly Andy Fleming at a firing vary. Andy is the son of Walt Fleming, Colter’s father’s good friend. Andy offers one other piece of the puzzle surrounding Walt, David Pearson, and Ashton Shaw, recalling unusual “think talks” held in his household’s storage and a videotape exhibiting a person hooked as much as a machine. These small particulars proceed to develop the bigger thriller, including to the sense that no matter Walt, Ashton and Pearson have been concerned in went far past extraordinary analysis.
Colter’s route adjustments when Dale who’s exhausted, grieving, and terrified for his lacking daughter Noelle, approaches him on the vary. The police have written off the case as a result of medicine staged in her condo, however Dale insists she by no means used and is for certain one thing is incorrect.

The investigation leads Colter to “Boston Blaze,” the place Noelle had been doing supply work. He arrives simply because the unstable supervisor, Vince Unger, is being crushed by two males. After intervening, he presses Vince for data, studying that Noelle had modified her ordinary supply route on the evening she vanished. Vince’s reluctance, coupled together with his legal historical past, raises apparent suspicions, however Colter pushes ahead, quickly discovering Noelle’s e-bike outdoors an workplace constructing. Inside, her signature within the customer log leads him to lawyer Lyle Voss’s workplace, and a brief search reveals Voss useless in a toilet stall. Although it’s staged as a pure loss of life, the unlocked door and open window sign a hasty escape. A voicemail later uncovered by Randy, through which Noelle frantically begs Voss for assist, confirms she was operating from somebody and that Voss might have been defending her.
Randy’s broader search into Voss’s current exercise reveals a constant sample connecting him to the Benning household, an influential Boston dynasty identified for philanthropy and political clout, and for cultivating a spotless public picture. Their status is clearly maintained via meticulous, behind-the-scenes harm management, particularly in terms of their black sheep, Graham Benning. Graham has an extended historical past of instability, rehabs, weapon fees, and reckless behaviour. The episode establishes clearly that he’s the household’s greatest drawback, one they clear up after repeatedly, and one they’ll now not afford to let spiral.
As Colter presses deeper into the case, the hazard turns into private when somebody cuts the brake strains on his truck. Reenie’s storyline parallels this escalation with its personal unsettling tone. She lies to Colter about being in New York together with her mom when she is definitely in a lodge room with a person she met the evening earlier than. The scene is deliberately jarring, exhibiting behaviour that’s deeply out of character for her- waking up subsequent to a stranger, brushing him off, and persevering with to keep away from telling Colter the reality about the place she is or what she is doing. Her recklessness and dishonesty underscore that one thing is unraveling beneath the floor, and her continued makes an attempt to bury it solely heighten the priority.

The ultimate trade between Colter and MC is among the episode’s strongest moments. Colter confronts her straight, stating plainly that Graham didn’t kill himself and that she orchestrated his loss of life as a solution to seal off each free finish related to the waiter’s homicide and Noelle’s tried silencing. Her refusal to disclaim something, paired together with her unwavering composure, solidifies her as an opponent not like any Colter has confronted. When he tells her that folks like her finally slip up and that he hopes to be there when it occurs, her stillness communicates each confidence and warning. It’s clear she understands the menace he poses and equally clear that she believes she stays one step forward.
“Eat the Rich” is an exceptionally robust episode for the sequence, weaving collectively emotional character work, a genuinely suspenseful missing-person storyline, and significant development of the season’s central thriller. The introduction of MC presents Tracker a compelling, formidable antagonist, and the hour’s somber tone and deliberate pacing make it a standout. The implications of what occurred on the Benning property, for Noelle, for Reenie, and for Colter himself, really feel removed from over, suggesting that this case will echo via the season in methods Colter has but to uncover.
