Tracy soon determines that the attorney the Johansens hired to investigate Heather’s murder was not accidentally killed by a hunter and his death is connected. Soon after, her car is deliberately struck and someone shoots at Therese, thinking she’s Tracy. Faz and Vera reach out to her and decide to come when they learn Dan is in Seattle. Tracy decides not to tell Dan what happened. Your thoughts about her decision and his later reaction?


Robin (robinmy) | 2466 comments Once again Tracy is not telling her husband what is going on in her life. She is afraid that he'll be upset with her because they fought about her being in danger and now she is. They talked it out after Dan got back. He was mad that she didn't call him to let him know that about someone shooting at Therese (who was wearing Tracy's coat). He wasn't overly upset that she was in danger because he understands that it is part of her job.

Did anyone else think it was strange that a car could hit Tracy's car and send it into a spin and she never saw it? She only knew that another car hit her because of the dent. I didn't buy that at all.

Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3501 comments Tracy knew that Dan was upset with her. He didn't have to leave, but he didn't want to talk through the issues either. Dan knew he had handled the situation poorly. Tracy should have called Dan immediately, but his response could be, "I told you so?" I understand Tracy, even though I think she should have called Dan because their daughter was in danger.

I love that Faz ad Vera came to help her.

Robin, I didn't have a problem with the car. I lived in an area where there was a lot of black ice. How would you know what hit you when it is dark and the car has its lights off? A tap can send the car spinning.

A deer ran into my car once. I wasn't sure what had happened. I thought it was a hit and run, but when the police came, they said it was an animal. Most likely a deer.

I felt it was the wrong decision. End of story. It didn't matter what was going down between them, this was a life or death situation and he deserved to know as soon as it happens.


Robin (robinmy) | 2466 comments You're right, Sharon. Dan didn't have to leave. And he probably would have said "I told you so" at the time.

I felt exactly the same. Tracy not calling Dan was all kinds of wrong, even though he created that situation. I was so proud of him for owning up to his role in the matter. Never saw it coming. This was the Dan I admired.

Robin, her not seeing the car causing the spin gave me pause, too, but I believe it was foggy.

I was so happy Faz and Vera came and kudos to him for sensing something was wrong with Tracy. I love their relationship.


~Melissa~ | 429 comments I felt the same as Sharon and Jonetta. Tracy kept it to herself because Dan was already upset with her about agreeing to helping with the case in the first place. I don't necessarily agree with what she did, especially since Therese's life was (by accident) in danger as well, but, I understood why she did it. And if Dan hadn't 'run off' like a five year old he would've been in town and known about it.

I was super glad that Faz and Vera came to help her out.

I didn't really think anything about her not seeing the car.


Charlene (charlenethestickler) | 1205 comments I was very glad that Faz and Vera came; it could have been a disaster if Dan had not been thinking on his way home! I'm very glad for that.
