Spoiler alert for Tracker season 2.Tracker season two is ignoring its best mystery, making things worse for everyone involved.

Tracker Season 2 Delays Combating Velma and Teddi’s Permanent Split
Teddi and Velma have the best emotional story potential in Season 2
TrackerThe most fascinating mystery in its current run is what happened to Teddi and Velma. Before Season 2, the show announced that Robin Weigert would not return as Teddi Bruin in Tracker. She was one of Colter’s handlers, married to Velma Bruin (Abby McEnany), who also helped Colter with his bounty-seeking operation. Tracker needed to resolve the breakup immediately in Season 2, and Colter and Velma briefly discussed the breakup in the Season 2 premiere. Still, Velma talks about her separation from Teddi as a temporary separation, which doesn’t solve the problem.

Tracker Season 2 Episode 4 continues the trend. Velma appears briefly on screen a few times, but not enough to address anything going on in her personal life. By choosing to show Velma without representing her character’s experience, Tracker is just delaying the fight against Velma and Teddi’s permanent separationfrom which the series does not benefit. Weigert has no plans to return tracker, so the procedural need not leave the relationship a mystery. Currently, this implies that Teddi and Velma are taking some time to figure this out, even though viewers know their split is final.
