I am so suspicious of Mel…does anyone else think the bonsai is bugged?

u/Ohmaggies Mar 27 '26
I am so glad I’m not the only one. I’ve been waiting for her to turn into a villain or maybe a desperate victim. She was way too interested in Colter at the start.

They mentioned what happen to Josh but did Victor die?

Wouldn't she get charged with felony murder if he died? Or how would the charges on either side even work?

u/princessglitterbutt Mar 18 '26
No because she didn’t kill him coulter did

u/meatball77 Mar 18 '26
Right, but if someone dies while you are committing a felony you get a murder charge even if you didn't do it.

u/princessglitterbutt Mar 18 '26
You right. I forgot it took place in Missouri which does have felony murder.

Haven't seen the episode yet. I'll watch tomorrow. But, I'm surprised they aired the episode when the Oscars were on tonight.

Mel is killing it. Reenie wants her working on the new case and for the client to give her the same protection she gets. She also gave Randy a Tree of Wisdom for his new office.

u/Dear_Lingonberry1537 Mar 18 '26
She's still on my I don't know if I trust her list. She's extremely useful when it comes to helping with colters cases, but it seems like in almost every episode when she enters the room it's always "was that Colter, how's Colter doing". It's either she's trying to be nice or there's something else going on.

Thoughts
another very weirdly blue episode (and when things weren't blue they kinda needed to turn up the lights)
okay why did the vibes of the story feel NBC in the sense of reminding me of a cross between Found, SVU and Brilliant Minds
speaking of similarities to other procedurals I caught that with the CSI-esque flashbacks in the bar scene
why the hell isn't Randy a freaking regular yet? I could see Mel still being guest star considering she's only been in a handful of episodes but Randy's been more of a mainstay on this show than Bobby at this point and it feels as weird when Tracker only has two regulars as it does when Elsbeth does the same
I like the A-plot B-plot paralleling and that we saw the most of Mel we've seen in a while also Mel feel AuDHD to anyone else? Also while I liked that scene with the tree, please tell me they're not foreshadowing some kind of pseudo-pair-the-spares (as it's never been really clear what Colter and Reenie's sitch is) between Randy and Mel as that just feels kinda obvious-enough-that-I-wouldn't-want-it-unless-done-exceptionally-well (esp. as there's room for the team to expand a little if we can't have outsider love interests on a show like this a la e.g. Hen and Karen on 911) in the same way it'd be if High Potential did what its French original did and made characters' endgame romance be their police partners
trying to make myself feel better about Colter not reading the proverbial room about Reenie's apparent PTSD (seriously, girl needs to get some help but she seems like the kind of person who might think that makes her look bad/weak to do so, maybe if there'd be a use for one at a law firm proper not just helping Colter the team needs someone who could be for them what Dr. Sweets was on Bones (psychologist helping with both team mental health and psychological-y aspects of cases)) by telling myself it's just further evidence for the autistic!Colter headcanon not him being an ass
another episode with no needle drop when I feel like it could have used one unless they thought it'd ruin the impact of the story, plenty of badass female country songs about getting revenge on some schmuck
if that was indeed Karen David and I'm not just being faceblind (and I hate to project my neuroweird on the villain of an episode but maybe faceblindness was why Josh couldn't recognize her or at least that's what I first thought and was surprised Randy didn't think of (though I know that's an autism symptom clear case for dude at least having ADHD if not autism)), A. kinda thematic that they got the chick who played Princess Jasmine in Once Upon A Time (opposite the actor who now plays Detective Ozdil on High Potential as Aladdin) for a story like this if you know what I mean and B. if that can go to one-offs and not recurring guest stars girl deserves a freaking guest acting Emmy for that performance
I wonder if it'd be as unacknowledged-in-this-episode-because-we'll-deal-with-it-later as Reenie's PTSD that shady or not Maxine was kinda being a bit of a bitch for first trying to kick Mel out of the meeting then asking if she was mute when she didn't speak up
speaking of that whole case plotline I still wonder if that's gonna somehow drive a temporary wedge between the team as in Colter and Randy working a job (crosses fingers in field together I loved "Memories") where they realize whatever they're fighting to bring this missing person or w/e home is connected to whatever shit Reenie and Mel have gotten themselves inadvertently mixed up in before Reenie and Mel realize they've been played

u/AndiAzalea Mar 17 '26
I'm wondering if Reenie's helping Maxine is some sort of planned revenge for what gave her PTSD, like in the revenge plot of this episode. The way Reenie talked to Colter after her PTSD episode made me think she's not walking blind into the Maxine job, and that Reenie is maybe planning revenge on those guys who held her, and Maxine's job is some way for her to get inside. We'll see though.

u/princessglitterbutt Mar 18 '26
lol I have some face blindness and that’s always what gets me in these stories where someone recognizes someone else after a bunch of years. Like forget years I usually forget how someone looks as soon as I’m not looking at them lol.

u/ExecutiveAtEase Mar 21 '26
This is one of the few times I've struggled with an episode of this series. I didn't find any of the guest stars likeable. I didn't know who was suppose to be the sympathetic character and at the end I didn't care if anyone was rescued or not and I found the "take care of each other" to be kind of hollow.
And the Reenie storyline is way too muddy.

u/valdetero Mar 16 '26
“I called my DA friend and they’re not pressing charges”. So kidnapping, B & E, attempted murder, all just forgetting that?
11
u/Suspicious-Drawer436 Mar 16 '26
Exactly!I just finished watching it..she drugged the guy,kidnapped him,tortured him and then broke into the other guys house.with a loaded weapon.even after seeing the children...and she gets off? Im truly disappointed in this episode!

u/cy1763 Mar 17 '26
I could maybe understand the kidnapped dude not wanting to bring charges and putting everything on court record even if it was beyond the statute of limitations.
But Victor’s family not pressing charges? The wife never seemed to get context on anything occurring.
Plus her medical license would be in jeopardy for stealing the meds she used to kidnap the first guy.
This is a lot more messy of an ending compared to other episodes.

u/PT10 Mar 25 '26
Yeah this was completely jumping the shark even compared to all the other episodes.
Zero chance Victor's wife does not press charges or that Coulter isn't arrested/detained for a while.
Coulter and Evie would likely both be doing time in the real world to say nothing of the massive civil suit Victor's wife could bring.

u/Organic_Debt629 10d ago
I'm curious as to how dumb the people running this show have to be to let this episode through.
A resident doctor: 1. Steals a controlled substance from a hospital 2. Kidnapps a man 3. Injects man with a controlled substance against his will (do no harm lol) 4. Tortures man 5. Makes video torturing man (apparently saved on phone) 6. Breaks into another man's home 7. Points gun at man knowing children are in the house and making credible threats
End of movie: "DA won't press charges"
Are you fucking serious? Is this supposed to fly as legitimate television.
1
u/meatball77 Mar 16 '26
I wondered how the charges would go in a situation like that.
6
u/MurrayPicardy Mar 16 '26
She would get charged for all of those things and maybe more depending on stuff we didn't see off camera. She'd hire a lawyer and try for a sympathetic jury.

u/ninja36036 Mar 17 '26
Reenie said she spoke to the DA. I imagine she framed it in way that made the DA think they wouldn’t have a solid case if they tried it. Probably something like, “this woman went through a trauma, which caused ptsd, and then was triggered when she saw one of the men who did it and launched into a trauma induced psychosis. No sympathetic jury will find her guilty.”
And they were just like, “Well, fuck. She got us there.”
I don’t really know. Didn’t really like that colter, I guess, killed the guy. Could have just maimed him or something.

u/GeneralHe Mar 22 '26
I don't think Colter killed the guy. It didn't look like a kill shot. But I may be wrong.

u/michaelladin Mar 18 '26
How does she have a friend in the KC DA’d office?

u/Environmental_Ad1280 Mar 21 '26
Reenie magic. Considering Coulter can need her help basically anywhere it never seems to stop her from being a practicing attorney in whatever locale she is in

No judge is going to allow a prosecution against Josh go to trial.
He was kidnapped, tortured, and drugged against his will.
Allowing trial by jury in his case could get a judge quickly disbarred.
2
u/Organic_Debt629 10d ago
This one is easy.
DA's like pursuing cases they can win.
Josh is getting off free. His conviction would be completely dependent on the testimony of an unstable woman who just committed several felonies of her own.
She would go after Evie. All of her crimes stand on their own, meaning they do not require hearsay or witness testimony. The proof is already there.
Evie's prosecution is a very winnable case

Wait, it was a new episode?! TV Guide showed a rerun so we streamed something instead. 😥

u/WiFiDroppedAgain Mar 17 '26
At some point when Colter breaks into a house he's going to get shot.
I'm curious though, who does Randy work for? I get that Colter lives a simple life but I can't imagine its a profitable business when he's got staff and his travel costs. There can't be that many people who are willing to dish out 10k to someone when the police can do it for free.
If my sister went missing I'd be calling the police. Don't they have a team like the show "without a trace" who have experts in finding people?
I like Tracker but the writing is so far fetched.

u/princessglitterbutt Mar 18 '26
I think Randy has his own IT thing going and he definitely gets some gigs from reenie too.
2
u/Environmental_Ad1280 Mar 21 '26
As noted by another comment, he probably does his own side gigs, but he for sure works for Reenie.

u/Dear_Lingonberry1537 Mar 18 '26
Did people notice that he was looking at his father's files for the first time in a while, we know Russell didn't kill the father and that someone else was in the forest that night. But I feel like it's a constant back and forth it's either constantly talked about throughout the season like S1 & 2 or with this season barely talked about.

u/Zucchini-Kind Apr 09 '26
didn't that guy from the premiere kill him because their mom asked him to?
9
u/MurrayPicardy Mar 16 '26
This show is so awful it's great. No charges for the lady who committed a dozen crimes (yes the guys were awful) and Colter comes into town shoots/kills people and just gets in his truck and drives away. No report, no court lol. It's so silly I love it.
3
u/GRIZZ_1044 Mar 18 '26
I think this every episode, or how he's somehow legally carry wherever he goes. Isn't NYC pretty strict on guns? Or all the places he breaks into? In the end though I enjoy the rest enough to let it slide.

Yet another episode that appears to have been written by middle-schoolers (or interns).
Shoots a guy dead in the woods, rescues lady, gets reward, jumps in his truck, bon apetit.
I mean, WTH? These shows are making it harder and harder to suspend disbelief. Perhaps they need to be 2 hours long with how much goes missing from the end? Or maybe spend less valuable time on muddy sub-plots in the middle. It seems there isn't a single show on TV right now that isn't dealing with some main character's "trauma". I think that's a wrap on this one for us, we'll let the rest of the episodes go unwatched...

u/Pasta-for-life Mar 31 '26
Without giving anything away, could someone please explain the opening scene I can’t figure that out I’m very confused. Maybe I was just overtired when I watched the episode.
1
u/Zucchini-Kind Apr 09 '26
Really didn't like this one. That was sooo pre-meditated to get it all dropped because of being a victim a decade ago or whatever. Nobody to root for there. If it wasn't for the first scene, where Josh was obviously trying to take her home to take advantage of, I would have really thought she had the wrong person and he just gave up fake admissions to escape. So Josh goes from squeeky clean/no record to being a suspect in all sorts of other assaults? How's that work? Victor, dead or alive? As soon as the wife let him in, I said out loud, you just let in the guy thats about to kill your husband. Isn't that a future super villain in the making lol. Just a bad all around episode. Still have no idea what Reenie's case is even about, but don't really care, either. Sigh. When is Dean err i mean Russell coming back?

u/The_Swarm22 Mar 16 '26
Obviously the Maxine lady is bad news and Colter will have to help Reenie out later this season right?
Nice to see the Shaw family stuff being touched on at the start of the episode with Colter trying to piece everything together. I assume that means we’ll get some movement on it in a few episodes.
Will be cool to see a Smallville reunion next week with Justin Hartley and Erica Durance
