The episode begins when Colter Shaw reunites with Billie Matalon in a Nebraska bar, where she pitches him on the mission. According to Collider, Billie reveals that Eric Dobbs, a baseball prodigy, is missing.
Although they have been foes before, Billie's willingness to collaborate is a clue about her complicated past with the town. Next on Tracker, she even admitted that her background was controversial, which would restrict her ability to gather information directly.
This revelation shocks Colter because he thought she was from Miami and thus, restrospects about how little he knows about his rival. They start exploring Eric's case and soon enough uncover that his mysterious disappearance might be linked to something darker than a missing person's report.
Colter and Billie are soon drawn into the dark, disturbing biohacking underworld, which has taken over Tracker this season. For Billie, returning to the quiet town comes back with personal demons, but she's dead-set on putting those behind her when it counts in saving Eric. This reveals just how many layers makeup Billie's character development.
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.

However, her escape is thwarted when she is ambushed and taken hostage by Shane's associates. When Colter starts to suspect that all is not right, he heads back, racing now against time to find Billie and Eric.
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."
