Teaming up would be the best way for the Shaw brothers to get the answers they need, especially if there’s a conspiracy that involves their mother and sister, Dory.

Aside from Colter’s weekly adventures,Trackeralso has an overarching storyline that delves deep into the Shaws' past. It revolves around the mysterious death of his father. For years, he believed thatRussell killed their dad — something that wasn’t cleared up until they reunited in season 1. As it turns out, their mother convinced the older Shaw brother to leave after the tragedy, letting Colter believe that he ran because he was guilty. Unfortunately, these revelations happened while they were working on a different case. By the time they separated, there were still many details about the matter that were left unanswered.

Solving this lingering case is the primary reason Ackles' Russell needs to return forTrackerseason 2. While Colter is the lead star of the police procedural, it would be difficult to resolve the mystery about their family without the involvement of his older brother.
