Tracker Family Reunion: Melissa Roxburgh Debuts as Colter’s Sister Dory in Exclusive Trailer
Colter Shaw is just as eager as Tracker viewers to find answers regarding his late father. Is the CBS newcomer on the horizon?
TVLine has an exclusive trailer from Episode 11 (airing Sunday at 9/8c), introducing Manifest veteran Melissa Roxburgh as Colter’s sister, Dr. Dory Shaw. After the reunion, Colter gives Dory newfound information about Dad — namely, that the former Berkeley professor worked as a government contractor for seven years. Colter thinks it’s weird that Mom never told them about it, but Dory… well, she doesn’t want to think about it at all. And she thinks it would be good for her
Flashbacks in Tracker’s February 11 premiere reveal that Colter and his siblings—Dory and Russell—had an unusual upbringing. Their parents, Ashton and Mary (played by Oz’s Lee Tergesen and Good Sam’s Wendy Crewson), “were professors at Berkeley until this incident with my dad,” Colter explains. “So he took us to live in isolation at this cabin. It was actually a compound near the Sierra National Forest,” where Dad “started talking about people trying to get him and how we all had to be prepared. He taught us how to track, how to hunt, and he taught us how to free climb at this place called Devil’s Notch.” One night in 2003, when Mary wasn’t home, Ashton’s paranoia got the better of him and he ran away, leaving his three children behind. Russell chased after him, and an hour later, Colter found his father dead, at the bottom of Devil’s Notch. It appears he was pushed by Russell.
Now, Russell has been trying to contact Colter. It seems there’s something Colter “needs to know.” However, Mary—who hasn’t been seen since Episode 2—wants Colter to ignore her brother’s pleas.
Colter’s reunion with Dory—which takes place a week before his reunion with Russell (played by Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles)—ends up being tied to his latest job. “When a graduate student goes missing after a house party, his friends and family believe he has succumbed to the pressures of a research grant. But after consulting with Dory Shaw, a professor at the school, Colter discovers a series of sexually explicit photos and text messages that lead him to uncover a dangerous (and deadly) conspiracy on campus,” according to the official synopsis.
