The wait is finally over for new episodes of Tracker<\/em>\u2014and with it comes a brotherly duo that we’ll never get tired of.<\/p>\n

Tracker<\/em> Season 3’s premiere, titled “The Process,” brought guest-star Jensen Ackles<\/strong><\/a> back into the fold as Colter’s (Justin Hartley<\/strong>) brother Russell Shaw, and the episode wasted no time kicking things into high gear. It was jam-packed with hilarious jokes, brotherly banter, and plenty of butt-kicking action, like that intro bar-fight that proved you shouldn’t ever cross or mess with the Shaw brothers.<\/p>\n

One thing is clear\u2014cases are more fun with Russell around… and so is Colter, just a little bit at least, with his tough exterior showing cracks whenever his brother is in his orbit.<\/p>\n

I’d go as far as saying Russell Shaw might be my favorite character on television right now, upstaging Hartley’s Colter at times (sorry, I know it’s your show, but that Russell charm is hard to beat!).<\/p>\n

While Colter is the character who takes himself seriously and can’t let things go\u2014including what happened to his father on the night of his death\u2014Russell is the exact opposite\u2014he barely takes himself seriously at all, and instead of facing issues head-on, represses them and pretends they don’t exist.<\/p>\n

They are two opposite sides of the coin, but they work well together. So well, in fact, that they found themselves embroiled in a sinister plot<\/a> mere minutes into the premiere episode. Here’s our spoiler-filled recap of the Tracker<\/em> Season 3 premiere.<\/p>\n

Who killed Russell and Colter’s father, Ashton Shaw on Tracker<\/em>?<\/h2>\n

Much of Tracker<\/em> Season 2 focused on Colter getting to the bottom of the big Shaw family mystery surrounding his father’s death. At one point, he thought Russell pushed their dad off the cliff, which he’s since apologized for believing, following his confrontation with Otto about that night during the season 2 finale. Otto confirmed that he was on that cliff with their father, at the behest of their mother, and when things became confrontational and physical, he threw their father over the cliff.<\/p>\n

While it’s somewhat of an answer, it doesn’t give Colter the closure he needs. Colter believes there’s more to the story, and he’s not about to stop searching for the truth about that night, or their father, especially since their mom mentioned people from the government harassing the family, along with a scientist who died the same year that their father did.<\/p>\n

And since Colter isn’t giving up, Russell doesn’t have much of a choice either. Where you go, I go, and all that.<\/p>\n
