\n\tSPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the Season 3 premiere of CBS<\/a>\u2018 Tracker<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tTwo familiar faces were missing from Sunday night\u2019s Season 3 premiere of Tracker.<\/p>\n

\n\tEric Graise<\/a>\u00a0and Abby McEnany<\/a> are no longer series regulars<\/a>, as Deadline reported in July, and return of the missing persons drama to CBS provided some brief explanations as to their characters\u2019 exits from the universe. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe answers come after the episode\u2019s opening in which Colter\u2019s (Justin Hartley) brother Russ (Jensen Ackles) finds him starting a brawl in a small town bar in the aftermath of learning some hard truths about the night his father died in the Season 2 finale. After helping him clean up that mess, Russ gives Reenie (Fiona Rene) a call to let her know Colter is okay, and she assigns them a new job.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe stay with Reenie, who is arriving at her office greeted by Randy (Chris De\u2019Sean Lee), who is the cousin of Graise\u2019s Bobby and was introduced in Season 2. Apparently, he\u2019s helping Reenie hire a new tech specialist after Bobby got a new job opportunity. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe\u2019s killing it,\u201d Randy tells Reenie, after Bobby texts him to check in. \u201cHe quit his job officially at the repair shop and now he\u2019s some encryption specialist at a new startup. Between stock options and the salary, he\u2019s bringing home the bacon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for McEnany\u2019s Velma, she\u2019s gone to be with her wife Teddi, who went out of town last season to visit her mother when actress Robin Weigert<\/a> exited the series<\/a>. Reenie indicates this may not be the last we see of Velma, but for now, she needs to focus on family.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know where any of that stuff is. Velma does,\u201d she tells Randy when he asks where to find some equipment. To that, he asks when she might return, but Reenie doesn\u2019t have a clue.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHonestly, I have no idea. She went to go see Teddy. She\u2019s trying to save her marriage,\u201d Reenie says. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the first season, Teddi and Velma helped run Colter\u2019s \u201cback end\u201d: seeking out new jobs, keeping track of the money and occasionally getting him sprung from jail. Last season, Reenie began shouldering much of that responsibility with Velma as Teddi was phased out of the show. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Season 5 premiere sees Reenie assign Colter and Russ a job from one of her clients, whose ex-wife and daughter go missing. While the brothers think they\u2019re investigating a crypto scheme gone wrong, they end up entangled in a far bigger quagmire than they could have imagined.<\/p>\n
