The dark world of biohacking on Tracker Season 2 Episode 3
As the investigation unfolds, Colter and Billie uncover something deeply shocking: Eric's apparent involvement in blood donation, a desperate attempt to fund his girlfriend Ashley's rehab. Collider explains that although Colter initially suspects Eric of being involved in the opioid trade, subsequent evidence suggests otherwise.
They come across an unused bag of blood, and with the help of tech whiz Bobby (Eric Graise), Colter discovers the blood donations originate from a mysterious company called Everlife. Within the Everlife office, Colter and Billie discover a horrifying sight: a blood-bag-filled room and a young boy's drained body.
This discovery incriminates Shane Nile, an affluent college booster, in this biohacking experiment, as seen on Tracker. As per TV Fanatic, Shane's suave and untrustworthy face makes Colter suspicious even more after the former tries to send Billie away by offering her a paltry reward.
It turns out that Shane has been running a biohacking scam in which rich clients purchase youth blood to remain young, taking advantage of teens like Eric. This plot twist is quite stunning, turning the story from an ordinary mystery into a horrific confrontation with Shane's true intentions.

Finally, there is a violent confrontation with Shane. Colter bests Shane's goon and rescues Billie and Eric, closing the case and Shane's biohacking plan for good. In a heartwarming conclusion, the series ends with Colter forming a brief bond with Eric and his father, marking a truly rare personal connection in what has otherwise been a solitary career.
Aside from the drama, the relationship between Colter and Billie is kept strictly professional yet tense, making it possible for them to run into each other in upcoming episodes.
As TV Fanatic observed, Billie aptly summarizes the whole weird situation on Tracker with one line:
"This got super weird."
