Episode 16 Recap: What Happened Before
The previous episode, titled Struck, aired on April 12, 2026. Colter traveled to Buffalo, New York to find a missing handyman named Finn.
The investigation led Colter to discover that Finn lost his regular job and started taking small jobs through an app called PowerUp. With help from his tech-savvy friend Randy (played by Chris Lee), Colter learned that Finn’s last job went very wrong. A man named Paolo hired Finn, but when one of Paolo’s men died from electrocution, Finn panicked. Paolo shot Finn to scare him from calling the police.
The situation took a turn when a woman in a speeding truck took Finn. Colter eventually found out that the kidnapper was Adelle, Finn’s ex-girlfriend who still wanted to be with him. In the final moments, Adelle tried to hurt herself, but Colter saved her and made sure she would answer for her actions. He also rescued Finn safely.
