Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from Tracker season 2, episode 3, “Bloodlines.”
After appearing in one season 1 episode, Sofia Pernas returns as Billie Matalon inTrackerseason 2, episode 3, to team up with Justin Hartley’s Colter Shaw again and show why the two characters don’t work as a couple. Pernas makes her debut as Billie, a rival tracker to Colter, in season 1, episode 6.Billie is Colter’s former partnerwho betrayed him by taking the reward money from one case for herself and skipping town. However, in season 1, the two trackers team up to find a missing racehorse and reunite on another case inTrackerseason 2’s story.
Justin Hartley and Sofia Pernas are a real-life couple — they got married in March 2021. The two actors first met on the set ofThe Young and the Restlessin the mid-2010s but didn’t start dating until 2020.
Colter has had his fair share of love interests throughoutTracker, but Billie is undoubtedly one of the more prominent ones. Alongside Reenie Greene and Camille Picket, Billie is among Colter’s most notable romantic prospects. Colter and Billie definitely have chemistry (the actors are married in real life, after all). However, just because two characters share romantic chemistry doesn’t mean they should act on said romance. For example,on paper, Colter and Billie should work as a couple.However,Trackerseason 2, episode 3 proved that they are better off as rivals/friends than as a couple.
Billie Recruits Colter For A Job In Tracker Season 2
Sofia Pernas Reprises Her Role In Episode 3
At the beginning ofTrackerseason 2, episode 3, “Bloodlines,“Billie calls Colter for help on a job.A high school baseball pitcher, Eric Dobbs, has gone missing in her hometown in Nebraska (which is news to Colter, who thought Billie was from Miami). Since Billie previously left the city not on good terms with its people, she convinces Colter to act as a buffer between her and them while they try to find Eric. So, Sofia Pernas' character has good intentions this time around. As a result,Billie has a different dynamic with Colter inTrackerseason 2, episode 3.

The former partners and current rivals work together to locate Eric. The baffling case takes a few twists and turns throughout the hour until Colter and Billie trace it back to a biohacking group that uses young blood as an anti-aging agent. When the man, who posted the reward for finding Eric, Shane Nile, backs out, so does Billie. While she’s leaving town without having found Eric or the reward money, Shane kidnaps her and takes her to where Eric is being held. Ultimately, Colter saves them both, andBillie opens up to him about her past inTrackerseason 2, episode 3.
Tracker Season 2, Episode 3 Reveals Billie & Colter’s Different Principles
Billie Works For The Money
Even though Billie gets a little bit vulnerable with Colter at the end ofTrackerseason 2, episode 3, the hour still proves why they shouldn’t be a couple. Colter and Billie have completely different sets of values and principles when it comes to their jobs. WhileBillie is mostly in it for the money, Colter thrives when he’s helping people.She gives up in episode 3 after the reward money is no longer up for grabs, but Colter stays and commits to finding Eric. Neither one is right or wrong, buttheTrackercharacters’methods and morals will never align.
So, if Colter and Billie were to start dating, it would only end in disaster. They are who they are as people and as trackers, and that is never going to change.
If they became a couple,Colter and Billie’s personal and work lives would just consistently clash.Honestly, their personal and work lives are interchangeable as they are essentially one. So, if Colter and Billie were to start dating, it would only end in disaster. They are who they are as people and as trackers, and that is never going to change. PerhapsCBS’s firstTrackerspinoffcan revolve around Billie’s adventures, but a world where Billie is the one who Colter ends up with is unrealistic.
