It wouldn’t be an episode of Tracker if Justin Hartley‘s Colter wasn’t someone’s knight in shining armor — and this time it was for Fiona Rene‘s Reenie.
During the Sunday, May 3, episode of the hit CBS series, Reenie asked for Colter’s help when her newest client’s assistant went missing. Reenie had no idea what she was in for when she was subsequently taken as well. It turned out that the assistant was behind the entire abduction but luckily Colter was already on the case.
Colter arrived in the nick of time to save Reenie, which led to an emotional moment the next morning. While thanking Colter for his support, Reenie turned away from him to hide the fact that she was crying about the close call. Colter successfully cheered Reenie up with a joke before they parted ways yet again.
Tracker, which premiered in February 2024, has viewers tuning in each week to see their favorite fictional survivalist — a.k.a Colter — travel the country to help solve various missing persons cases. But over time, fans have also settled in to see Colter receive help from his team — especially his attorney Reenie.

Luckily Colter and Reenie’s history isn’t limited to a professional relationship. The fictional couple previously explored a casual connection and Reenie has since caught the eye of Colter’s brother, Russell (Jensen Ackles), too.
“Reenie loves some of that attention. Who doesn’t love a little bit of validation here and there? We’re all human,” Rene, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2024. “But I think Reenie is looking for the caliber of man who can be emotionally, physically and mentally available. [Someone] in the same state who she doesn’t have to track down every single time she wants to talk to him. I think that that’s pretty pertinent.”
She continued: “[She wants] to have someone who is willing to put her as a priority — and that’s hard. For Russell and Colter, I don’t know if Reenie trusts that either of them are capable of doing all of those things. [They should] prove me wrong.”
At the time, Rene hinted at Reenie and Colter’s potential future.
“I think deep down Colter loves Reenie. I really would like to think that he has unconditional love for her,” she noted. “He really wants what’s best for Reenie and he wants to see her happy. I think Elliot at that moment is really making her happy. So I think it’s undeniable for Colter to feel that too. But does that mean that he is over it?”

Rene credited Hartley, 48, for helping her build that will-they-won’t-they chemistry.
“A lot of the time, Justin and I don’t talk about motivation. We don’t talk about the acting [in a scene]. We honestly come to set and we feel it out,” she shared. “He’s such a phenomenal No. 1 [on the call sheet]. He wears so many hats [on set]. Not only is he an actor, but [he is focused on] the numbers of the show. It’s important to him as well as a producer. When he comes on set, he’s all about business and we even call him the Terminator.”
The actress added: “But then he takes off that hat, he puts on his actor hat and he genuinely plays. It’s such a dream for an actor to be able to come on set and work together to find what feels right between their characters. Justin is always up for that. And for someone wearing so many hats, to be able to let all of that go and play in that moment is honestly the dream. I hope I can do the same.”
Tracker airs on CBS Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.
