February 25, 2024 – The Season 3 premiere of CBS’s Tracker didn’t shy away from addressing the noticeable absence of two beloved characters: Eric Graise (Bobby) and Abby McEnany (Velma). As reported by Deadline last July, both actors have departed the series as regulars, and Sunday night’s episode offered brief explanations for their characters’ exits.
The premiere opened with a tense scene featuring Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) embroiled in a bar fight following revelations about his father’s death in the Season 2 finale. His brother, Russ (Jensen Ackles), steps in to help, and subsequently informs Reenie (Fiona Rene) of Colter’s wellbeing, leading to a new assignment.
However, the episode subtly wove in explanations for the missing characters during Reenie’s scenes. Fans learned that Bobby has moved on to a lucrative new career as an encryption specialist at a tech startup, following a accomplished stint at a repair shop. The news was delivered by Randy (chris De’Sean Lee), cousin to Bobby, who is now assisting Reenie with hiring a new tech specialist. ”He’s killing it,” Randy shared,relaying a message from Bobby about his financial success.
Velma’s departure was also addressed, tying into a storyline from last season. She is currently with her wife,Teddi,who previously left to care for her mother following actress Robin Weigert’s exit from the show. Reenie hinted that Velma’s story may not be entirely finished, but for now, her focus is on family.
While the explanations were concise, they provided a sense of closure for viewers wondering about the fate of these characters. Tracker continues to evolve, and the premiere demonstrated a willingness to address cast changes head-on while maintaining the core intrigue of the missing persons drama.
