CBS' Tracker Season 3 Episode 2 saw the Shaw brothers go face-to-face with the Process, the institution that targeted Reenie's client's son in the Season 3 premiere. While Colter and Russell contemplate their next steps, we are introduced to Harith Holmes, another victim of the Process. While Holmes thought he had successfully transferred his task to Ockman, he was arrested, and the task was returned to Holmes. Holmes' next task was to kill Russell Shaw.

Tracker Season 3 Episode 2 also saw a heartfelt conversation between Reenie and Russell. The older Shaw brother assured Reenie that he would always stay by her side and help her in any way he could.

Were the Shaw brothers able to track the Process?

Here is the complete Tracker Season 3 Episode 2 recap.


Tracker Season 3 Episode 2 recap: The Shaw brothers team up against the Process

While the Process' next victim contemplated his next move in Tracker Season 3 Episode 2, the Shaw brothers meet Randy for breakfast. The three discuss how all digital activity about the Process points to Ockman, but the operation is too sophisticated to be a one-man mission. Colter and Russell ask Randy to trace all the text messages leading to the Process and when they find an unusual cellphone ping, the brothers decide to pursue it.

Since time was running out, Colter and Russell split up. While Russell and Reenie went to trace the cellphone ping, Colter headed out to meet with Lisa. Lisa tells Colter that her next task from the Process is to pick up a briefcase. As Colter follows this lead, Reenie and Russell begin their journey to the cellphone location.

Reenie pulls over her car after she learn that Ockman was found dead in his cell. Russell notices Holmes' car tailing them and after playing a little high-speed game on the road with him, he abducts his potential killer. Elsewhere, Colter completes Lisa's task by picking up the briefcase, which contained Ockman's intimate pictures with one of his students. He then joins Russell to question Holmes.

Holmes is taken to a safe house, where Colter questions him. Things take a deadly turn in Tracker Season 3 Episode 2, when Holmes receives a message from the Process, asking him whether he has killed Russell Shaw. After Holmes reveals that the Process will kill his child if he doesn't complete his task, the Shaw brothers decide to help him. Russell fakes his death to save Holmes from the Process and Colter gets a promising lead.


Tracker Season 3 Episode 2 recap: The Shaw brothers find the real mastermind

Thanks to Colter's briefcase task in Tracker Season 3 Episode 2, Randy manages to track the buyer, who is a professor named Susanna Tate. Colter learns that Susanna ran a psychological experiment called The Process of Leverage and Obedience but had to shut it down after some of her students started to use it for their own gain. Out of all of Susanna's students, Colter narrows down his search to Don Schneider, a sadist.

It takes Colter and Russell no time in tracking down Don, who was running the process with another of Susanna's students, Phillip Jost. After Randy hacks their location, Colter and Russell confront Don and Phillip. Don reveals himself as the mastermind of the Process and claims that the Process will go on even after he is killed. However, Colter and Russell figure out that the algorithm can only work with a stable computer and an Internet connection. With this realization, they point their guns at the system and fire at Don's equipment, putting an end to the Process once and for all.

After saving the day with his brother in Tracker Season 3 Episode 2, Russell reveals that he also wants to use his skill to help people (like Colter). The Shaw brothers then head to a bar for drinks and steak.
