In an exclusive clip from the season 1 finale, family friend Lizzy Hawking tells Colter that her daughter Katie and her boyfriend have gone missing after leaving by boat to set up storm trackers.
“They left on Friday late afternoon. I spoke to Katie just before they went out,” she explains. “There was a big storm coming and they wanted to be ready.”
Colter says her daughter’s work as a storm chaser is “impressive,” Lizzy counters that it’s “scary” like her mother.
When asked if Katie is taking any chances, she explains: “The most traumatic things cause clicks.” He then notes that Katie has no support from the local authorities. “Sheriff Woods is always giving them trouble by saying that Katie’s storm tracking is a pointless gamble. But what he doesn’t realize is that she loves it, risking everything. And she’s good on the water, she manages on her own.”

She adds that her daughter’s boyfriend, Dylan, is a “third-generation Waterman. Surfing, diving, he actually grew up in the water.”
“That’s good, it increases their chances in case something unexpected happens,” explains Colter.
When she asked him what he meant, he said. “Well, I followed the track of the storm, and there were many places where the ship could have docked—if it was actually on the water—when the storm hit.”
After asking if there are any more details about the disappearance, Colter promises, “Lizzie, if Katie’s out there, I’m going to find her.”
Hartley previously teased in an interview with Collider that Morrison, 45, would play a “pivotal role” Tracker.
“I haven’t worked with her since This is us, and she comes across as an old family friend of Colter’s from when they were kids,” he said earlier this month. “And so, that whole family dynamic comes out a little bit through her experience with him in the finale. So that’s it. I probably shouldn’t have told you that, but it’s okay.”
