A quick recap of Tracker Season 3 Episode 2

Tracker Season 3 Episode 2 continued the Shaw brothers' quest to take down the Process. After Ockman's arrest, his task was bequeathed to another victim named Harith Holmes, who was asked to kill Russell Shaw. While Holmes followed Russell, Colter decided to help him after learning that the Process would harm Holmes' kid if he did not complete his task. After Russell faked his death, Colter managed to locate the real mastermind.

The Shaw brothers learned that the Process was run by a monster and sadistic student named Don Schneider. In the final moments of the episode, Colter and Russell ended the Process by destroying Don's computer system. Since the Process algorithm needed a stable internet connection and a computer to run, it ceased to exist after the Shaw brothers destroyed it.

What can you expect from Tracker Season 3 Episode 3?

The official synopsis for the upcoming episode reads as follows:

On Halloween night, when a nurse is murdered and arsonist Heston Koontz disappears from a psychiatric facility, Colter follows a trail of unsettling clues to uncover the truth with assistance from local officer Dundee.

It will be exciting to see how a show grounded in reality will handle a Halloween-themed episode. While Halloween night is already chaotic and spooky, things will take a more horrific turn in Tracker Season 3 Episode 3 when a murderer escapes from a psychiatric facility. With children trick-or-treating on the roads and people enjoying the spooky festival, anything can happen and Colter will have to race against time to catch the killer on the loose.

Fans can expect nail-biting suspense, some horror elements and a chaotic night as Colter tracks down a deranged killer on Halloween night.
