Colter Shaw can cross finding Dory off his to-do list, now that Melissa Roxburgh‘s Tracker encore has been confirmed.
Fresh off Season 1 of NBC’s The Hunting Party, Roxburgh will reprise her role as Dory Shaw in the penultimate Season 2 episode of Justin Hartley’s hit CBS procedural. According to TV Insider, which first broke the news, Colter’s sister will resurface on Sunday, May 4 (at 8/7c) and deliver “a mysterious piece of the Shaw family’s past,” per showrunner Elwood Reid. (Perhaps she’ll share with Colter that secret stash of their dead dead’s research papers?)
Roxburgh first guest-starred in Season 1, Episode 11, which aired last May — one week ahead of Supernatural vet Jensen Ackles’ own debut as Colter and Dory’s brother, Russell. Though Ackles managed to put in a second appearance early this season (before becoming very, very busy), Roxburgh had yet to return.
By July, Reid was bullish on Roxburgh coming back, saying, “We’ll unpeel some more stuff with [Dory]” in Season 2. Hartley, meanwhile, was a bit more pragmatic.
“Melissa is busy on her show, The Hunting Party — which, by the way, [is] like right across the street from us” in Vancouver, he told us. “But I feel like she ends [her season] way before we do. So I think if we pick that story back up this year, I think it would be more towards the end of Season 2” — and that’s precisely what will happen.
