This article contains spoilers for Tracker Season 2, Episode 6, ‘Trust Fall’.CBS’ Tracker Season 2 Episode 6, ‘Trust Fall’, introduces a new character, Keaton, and he already has the potential to become a fan favorite of the series. In the sixth episode of Tracker Season 2, Colter searches for campers who disappeared overnight. The stakes are even higher when Colter finds just one of the missing campers and discovers that there have been gunshots, suggesting that the missing campers may be in danger. Although the case has an unexpected ending, Colter meets someone who is looking for the source of the gunshots, but for a different reason. That someone is Keaton, a retired police officer.
Tracker it already has an excellent cast of characters, but even Keaton’s introduction makes it stand out. Although Keaton is looking forward to retirement, he feels unable to truly relax because of a case that remained unsolved early in his career. Keaton is sure the shooter Colter is looking for is Keaton’s guy because the campers went missing during the blue moon – the same time Keaton’s suspect killed people in those mountains before. Keaton is a surprising but welcome addition to the Trackerespecially given Teddi Bruin’s departure from Robin Weigert after Tracker season 1.
Tracker Season 2, Episode 6 Debuts Brent Sexton’s Keaton
Brent Sexton plays retired police officer Keaton working on a cold case
Colter Shaw meets Keaton, a retired police officer, while searching for missing campers near a waterfall in the forest. They are surprised to find each other, but Colter and Keaton quickly put aside their initial shock and decide to work together to solve the case. Colter and Keaton realize that they work well together. Their skills complement each other due to Keaton’s knowledge of the suspect and Colter’s fresh perspective on the case. They take cover, which becomes evident when the suspect shoots Keaton, and Colter quickly takes him to safety.
After the police arrest the suspect, Keaton decides to help Colter with the missing campers because they are still nowhere to be found. Keaton offers to help Colter track down the three missing campers by checking an address where Colter and Keaton found them. Tracker Season 2 Episode 6, ‘Trust Fall,’ ends with Colter asking if Keaton would consider looking into Gina Picket’s case. Colter only meets Keaton that day, but he already feels comfortable enough to ask Keaton for help with Colter’s oldest and most vulnerable cold case.
Keaton is a fun and trustworthy ally for Colter in Tracker Season 2
Keaton is unlike any of Colter’s allies outside of his team
Colter Shaw works alone for a reason—Even when he meets potential allies, he does not easily trust people and often considers them suspicious until they prove otherwise.. Colter’s brief alliances also often go their separate ways once their joint work is complete. However, Keaton is notably different. Colter trusts Keaton almost immediately because of their knowledge of the forest, common target, and similar way of thinking. Colter also finds it easy to open up to his new friend because Keaton understands Colter; they have similar experiences in the missing persons field.
Keaton helping Colter with Gina Picket’s disappearance seems to be the ultimate test – if Keaton breaks new ground in the case, then perhaps Colter will formally ask Keaton to be part of his team.
“Trust Fall” illustrates how Colter efficiently helped Keaton, and Keaton returned the favor. They can solve cases on their own, but they are much more productive when working as a team, which is why the episode is titled “Trust Fall” to begin with. Keaton helping Colter with Gina Picket’s disappearance seems to be the ultimate test – if Keaton breaks new ground in the case, then perhaps Colter will formally ask Keaton to be part of his team. It is unknown whether Keaton will play a larger role in the TrackerBut I hope he sticks around.
Could Keaton still return in Tracker?
Tracker Season 2 Episode 6 Sets Up the Possibility of Keaton’s Return
Although Colter and Keaton are going their separate ways for now, the narrative strongly implies that Keaton will return. At the end of Tracker Season 2, Episode 6, “Trust Fall”, Colter asks Keaton if he will look into a case that has been haunting Colter for several years. He hopes a fresh perspective with fresh eyes will bring something to Colter’s cold case. Additionally, Colter had no problem opening up to Keaton about the Gina Picket case, telling Keaton about how Gina’s unsolved disappearance continues to haunt Colter.

Furthermore, Tracker Season 2 cast Floriana Lima as Camille Picket, Gina’s sister and Colter’s ex-girlfriend. However, Camille was not seen in Tracker since season 2, episode 1, “Out of the Past”. While it’s unknown whether Floriana will return as Camille Picket, it’s hard to believe she won’t be seen again, especially since Tracker season 2 finally remembered the case of Gina Picket. Since Keaton will help Colter with Gina Picket’s unsolved disappearanceIt’s likely not the last time viewers will see the retired police officer.
