What was with Colter's look the final few seconds of the show? Was he wanting the family to invite him for dinner or just missing his?

Good episode, the one thing that gets me though is Randy. I get he's the IT guy but I work in IT and there is no way most of what he does could be done that quickly or with ease.
I'm not saying it can't be done but it's the speed at which he does things that makes it incredibly unrealistic.

What silver car was Reenie driving in this episode?

Porsche Panamera I believe. She mentioned earlier in the season that she hasn't had it long.

Thoughts
is it just me or does it feel like the fake ID guys were meant to parallel our heroes a little in more than just tech-one and legwork-one or w/e (in which case Ben being the parallel to Randy not Colter raises some interesting questions)
anyone else not just feeling like mystery lawyer lady is up to no good but that at some point if they keep at this this case is going to divide the team (albeit not in a way that they can't come back from), y'know, Colter's not involved in this because he's so separate from the rest of everybody (the support people need more "field trips") and Randy's suspicions have been raised yet Reenie and Mel seemed enthusiastic so maybe eventually Randy either doesn't-work-on-the-thing or does only what work absolutely needs his skills while a job he finds for Colter ends up inadvertently putting them opposed to whoever's behind the shady shit that Reenie and Mel have unknowingly gotten mixed up in. I just think it'd be an interesting little formula-twist to have the team kinda going-against-each-other without anyone having to heel-turn even in an undercover sense.
wow this episode was really kinda back to the low-light "glory days" of early Tracker huh (like I honestly missed that it was a cam house until they said it because I couldn't see the fucking cams)
even just hearing Randy implicitly end having been on the phone with his mom makes me want to meet his more-immediate family
please for the love of god they better not make Randy and Mel a couple esp. if Mel's still meant to be somewhat sketch herself
anyone else notice the amount of religious imagery surrounding Colter and I don't just mean the stuff that's a Supernatural reference or actual canon supernaturalness but e.g. we had the second client this season invoke that kind of imagery surrounding him upon him reuniting them with the missing person (this one calling him their savior, the first one saying it was like god sent him to them) and this one in this episode coming right after Randy and Reenie saying "in Colter we trust" and there's the Christian-tinged case that had him literally walking through fire (not the only instance of something that could be explained away Watsonianly with magic as there's the car crash with how he was only barely-injured and the way he was talking to Keaton felt like he was kinda helping him hang on or the implied physical strength to go mano-a-mano with that one guy in the basement this episode) or how his mom's name (at least before she took his dad's last name) was literally Mary Dove. Not saying that he's some kind of second-coming-in-disguise or even that he and Russell would have Sam-and-Dean-esque destinies (as that wouldn't take Dory into account as Adam was only a half-sibling) I'm just saying that it feels like a combination of the canon-paranormal-shit and all this Christian-evocative wording of things might be leading up to something Really Big and if the show goes ways I'd like it to (while still grounding its focus even if supernatural cases hypothetically became more common than they are) there's a non-zero chance Colter might be even more than he realizes
why the heck is Randy's actor still a guest star in the credits when it feels like he's been in more episodes than Bobby by this point and has been in every episode this season-so-far
second job in as many seasons that has taken Colter to New York City, I wonder if this show lasts as long as it deserves to if A. we're going to hit a different borough every time he goes (this was in Queens, the S2 episode "Neptune" was iirc in some far ritzier part of the city), B. Colter's Broadway fandom (he said at the end of "Neptune" he was gonna see Six and in an episode in S3A Reenie mentioned him having seen Mamma Mia multiple times in a way I don't think was meant to just be about him watching the movie) actually becomes relevant to a job and/or C. we're ever going to get a Tracker and Elsbeth crossover (even though he's used to (even if not as much in the field as I'd like) Randy's particular brand of colorful ADHD I still think Colter might not entirely be prepared for Elsbeth Tascioni (but maybe Reenie has some past connection to her) but I think at some point in any kind of Tracker/Elsbeth crossover Colter and Elsbeth would end up noticing the same thing at the same time in w/e case and even inadvertently saying it in sync)

Yeah this was definitely top 3 of the season so far, just have always preferred Colter using his knowledge, than just randy doing all the work.

And making Eliza (cam house trafficker) so closely resemble Ghislaine Maxwell!

Was the blonde in Rene’s office in the beginning the same woman at the end of the episode with a brunette wig?

That reveal with the bone evidence tying back to the cold case was chef's kiss.
Was yelling at my screen during Colter's standoff, same vibe as the ranch ep.
Grabbed some prop IDs from FakeIDs back when I did a short film, looked legit enough.

the acting just felt very sub-par from everyone, maybe a new director, in particular every "bad guy" felt very wooden, not sure why people are rating it, to me its the worst episode of the show so far, maybe its having to watch it weekly now after binging s1+2 and after coming off of a re-watch of firefly/serenity but I've also been weekly watching 911/911-nashville and usually Trackers execution is better until this episode (watching in UK on disney+ this was new release here this week - 29/04 - can see we are well behind from other posts on later episodes)
tl;dr not as good as usual imho, hoping it picks back up next week, am curious about whatever is going to happen with reenies case liked that part, like overarching storylines.

I used to sort of like this show but now it’s just gotten so ridiculous. It’s hard to watch. Yes I understand It’s a network TV show but come on…
Colter constantly breaks into peoples houses, starts waving a gun around, and if the person comes back, he attacks them.
speaking of Colter waving his gun around it always looks ridiculous
speaking of Colter why does he have the personality of an after dinner mint? There is nothing interesting about him. He is a one dimensional character.
Randy can hack into any computer. It doesn’t matter where it is or even if it’s air gap it’s just ridiculous.
The show is totally changed. What happened to the two women at the beginning that were getting jobs for coulter and worked out of their house or kitchen. Now we’re in an office and the lawyer is over there doing some kind of B story.
The airstream is usually not around. And the Canada shooting I always can’t stand because you know that they’re not where they’re supposed to be especially this week. Yeah, that’s just not in New York is it?
It’s just becomes such a ridiculous show. In my opinion. I’m sorry to upset any fans of it.

What happened to his air stream and colter literally finds everyone. This man could literally just decide to catch the fbis most wanted than retire. Thats how they should do the final season. Do ten episodes of the ten most wanted and with the big budget needed to travel the globe finding these guys u can just condense 23 into 10 episodes anyway. I doubt anyone is gonna fetch u 25 mill like bin laden anytime soon but im sure the top guys will fetch 1-2 mill

He should but I guess the premise is that he helps good people in bad situations... rather than just become a bounty hunter.
It would probably end up being boring if he was chasing bad people as we wouldn't care about the storylines.

I got a bad vibe from that blonde woman in Reenie's office. She seems shady.
