This article contains detailed plot information about Tracker Season 2 Episode 6, "Trust Fall".
Quick Answer
What Happened in Tracker Season 2 Episode 6?
Colter searches for four missing campers in Washington and partners with retired cop Keaton, who believes the shooter, Marcus Wilson, is a serial killer tied to a decades-old blue-supermoon pattern.
Full Recap
"Trust Fall" is a study in partnership and doubt. Keaton's certainty is both his greatest asset and his greatest liability, and the episode lets the audience oscillate between trusting and doubting him alongside Colter. But the case is concrete: shell casings confirm Marcus Wilson shot at the campers, Marcus is mentally ill, and Keaton's broader serial-killer theory — two decade-old blue-supermoon shootings — is the open thread, not a vague "larger question."
