The investigation and key incidents in Tracker season 2 episode 17
In Tracker season 2 episode 17, the investigation starts when Megan wakes up with only a dim memory of the previous night—a wild night spent with her friend Sonia. Megan admits she is concerned because she can't recall what happened, and Sonia is missing when Randy and Colter get there.
Following the trail, Colter and Randy go to a nightclub where they find out that Troy, Megan's ex-boyfriend, has arrived and caused a commotion. After a fight breaks out between Troy and the women, Colter becomes certain that Troy might be connected to Sonia's disappearance.
A breakthrough occurs when Bobby, Colter’s hacker ally, tracks Troy’s car and uncovers the chilling truth: Troy had kidnapped a male stripper, Ricky the Stallion, after mistakenly believing he was flirting with Megan.
The investigation then leads Colter and Randy to a strip club, where they discover more about Megan’s and Sonia’s night, including the fact that Sonia wanted to get married. They also uncovered that the men from the VIP lounge had a hand in helping the women leave the club unharmed.
In the next phase of the investigation, Colter and Randy trace the clues to a wedding chapel where Sonia had been married, and the footage reveals that she had been drugged.
They learn that the men behind the wedding were part of a British mob, and the groom, Peter Bronwen, along with his brother Nicholas, is involved in illegal activities, including murder. The tension builds as Colter and Randy prepare to confront these criminals head-on.

Who is Colter Shaw’s “One who got away” in Tracker season 2 episode 17?
The mystery surrounding Colter Shaw's "one who got away" deepens the series' appeal by provoking fan theories and conjecture. Colter's past love could be anyone from his past interactions, including Billie (Sofia Pernas), with whom Colter momentarily linked in a previous episode, or Reenie (Fiona Rene), who has had a tumultuous relationship with Colter.
Another possibility is Camile (Floriana Lima), who had unresolved feelings with Colter after he shut down her sister’s case. Whoever this mysterious person is, it’s clear that Colter’s emotional walls are starting to show cracks.
One of Colter's defining characteristics is his reluctance to discuss his past, particularly relationships of all kinds. Tracker, on the other hand, is likely to uncover more information about his past as he develops, therefore exposing the identity of the "one who got away."
Tracker season 2 episode 17 is now available to stream on CBS and Paramount+ with Showtime.
