Tracker season 2 continues to miss Bobby, understandably raises questions about Eric Graise’s future in CBS’ hit procedural. Justin Hartley’s This Is Us follow-up series remains strong in ratings as it transitions to its sophomore year. Much has happened in Tracker season 2, including the introduction and eventual resolution of Colter Shaw’s white whale case — the disappearance of Gina Picket. His operation largely remains the same, with Hartley’s hero mostly on his own on the ground as he tracks down missing people for a reward. That said, he still relies on the help of his remote team.
Colter maintains a small group of allies, with each member serving an important purpose. After Tracker lost Robin Weigert’s Robin, the rewardist tapped the help of new friends he has met along the way, most notable Brent Sexton’s Keaton, who was integral in solving Picket’s case. As the procedural settles back into its weekly cases, however, Colter goes back to basics. Velma connects him with the case, while Reenie takes care of the legal side of things. Bobby specializes in research and fact-finding online, but he has been missing in action for a couple of episodes now.
Bobby Continues To Be Absent In Tracker Season 2
Colter’s Resident Tech/Research Support Has Been Missing For 2 Consecutive Episodes
In Tracker season 2, episode 10, “Nightingale,” Colter found himself tackling an unusual missing person’s case that had him tied up with a local biker gang. Ultimately, the matter was resolved, but instead of relying on Bobby for help with additional information, Hartley’s character coordinated with Chris Lee’s Randy. As Colter moves on from that small-town case, he tracks down a missing son, whose mother is connected to the criminal underworld in Tracker season 3, episode 11, “Shades of Gray.” Unsurprisingly, he reaches out to his remote team for assistance, but instead of Bobby, Randy remains as his tech support.

Bobby Is Currently Away
As Bobby’s cousin, Randy is equally capable in helping dig out information that could help Colter in his cases. In both episodes, he has provided pivotal details that have led the rewardist in the right direction. Granted that Randy doesn’t seem to approve his cousin’s set-up, Colter’s operations remain unaffected by the absence. “Shades of Gray” doesn’t really dwell on the matter, but “Nightingale” already revealed a brief but believable explanation for Bobby’s absence. As it turns out, he is currently away dealing with some family matters, and it’s safe to say that it continues to be the case.
For what it’s worth, it seems like neither Colter nor Randy are worried that something bad may have happened with Bobby. CBS has not offered any official information about Graise’s absence in Tracker season 2 thus far, although it’s worth noting that cast rotation is a popular cost-cutting method that several network shows are currently executing. Still, considering how the show remains mum about Teddi’s definitive fate, concerns about Bobby leaving Tracker are justified. Hopefully, the show already offers a clear reason for his absence if he will continue to be away.
