This isn’t the first time Huertas has reunited with a former co-star in this way. Huertas directed an episode of The Company You Keep last year, which starred Milo Ventimiglia.

He also reunited with Castle star Nathan Fillion when he directed two episodes of The Rookie. (Huertas appeared as a guest star on an episode of The Rookie as well.)

This episode of Tracker sees Colter working on a cold case that gets him involved in the world of amateur ghost hunting. It happens when a man convinces Colton to search for his missing daughter, who disappeared three years ago and is presumed dead.

With everything we know about Colter, it should be interesting to see how he handles this one.

Take a look at the photos and promo video below for a preview of “Aurora,” which airs Sunday, April 21st at 9/8c on CBS. You can also stream Tracker on Paramount+.

Episode Description:

When a widower offers a reward to find his only daughter who disappeared three years ago and is presumed dead, Colter agrees to help track her down. After the missing girl’s father shows Colter a newspaper photo from a recent county fair he’s convinced is her, Colter’s search leads him into the world of amateur ghost hunting and paranormal activity.
