Colters (Justin Hartley) on the way to wine country – after Reenie (Fiona Rene) calls him on a case.
In the November 3 episode of Followertakes Reenie Colter to a luxury wellness retreat in Napa for CEOs after a woman goes missing. And she’s not alone there…Michael Rady guest stars as her plus one, Elliot. Below, Rene previews the episode, talks Reenie and Colter’s complicated relationship and more.
We need to talk about Reenie and her own law firm. I love it. She seems to enjoy it. You seem to enjoy it.
Fiona René: I am. I certainly am. I mean, I just feel like she doesn’t like being accountable to anyone, especially a man. So yeah, to be able to go out on her own and handle her own affairs is the most exciting thing for me.
And then we also have her and Velma working together this season, which is so fun.
Abby McEnany is literally a ball of lightning, and so when she comes on set and we hang out and play together, I mean, the energy is just palpable. Yes, she’s great.

As for this week’s episode, Reenie is the one who gets Colter involved, so first take a look at what’s going on and how she gets involved.
Reenie is going to this CEO retreat. She has her own company, so she has all these bougie clients that she’s trying to land, and one of them takes her as a guest to a retreat in wine country and some bullshit happens and she realizes she has to call Colter, which is funny because that’s not his scene. And it’s interesting to see how when you’re in a place you feel like you don’t belong there, how you react to that and how Colter reacts to that and what kind of banter that leads to for Reenie and him throughout the episode. That was really fun. And so she calls Colter and he comes in and helps the man who led the retreat find this person.
It always feels like Reenie is in control.
I mean, I won’t say she doesn’t have control issues. I won’t say there’s a bit of typecasting going on. I won’t say that. What I’m saying is that she is able to let go of control when she needs to and when she feels safe. But I think she has to use her smarts and if she has a good idea, she’s going to say something. She’s just not going to pretend it doesn’t exist.
She has a plus one for this retreat. Talk about Elliot and how you would describe their relationship.
Honestly. Reenie and Elliot go way back from the company she used to work at, and ultimately I think Reenie is looking for availability – emotional, physical – and not just chemistry or spark. I think a woman of her caliber gets to a point where she doesn’t have time to play games or have anything that’s just fleeting or lustful. So I think Elliot really provides her with a safe space where he’s very approachable, friendly, willing, and there’s no question about what he’s thinking or feeling. It’s open. Nowadays that’s what a woman needs.
But speaking of chemistry and lack of availability:
Uh-oh!
There’s the matter of Reenie and Colter. What does she think about him?
I don’t know what the writers will think of me saying this, but she loves him and I think she has always loved him. I mean, how can you not? And she trusts him and respects him, but does that mean they are now compatible for a relationship? Does this mean he can now check the boxes and meet her needs? Not necessarily. And that’s the hard part. That’s give and take, back and forth. I think she finds out every episode whether or not he can do it. So yeah, but the chemistry is undeniable. The respect and trust are undeniable.

Yes, but I like and respect that she doesn’t wait for him. We see her with Elliot.
No, I mean, look, on a personal note, with my relationship now, I waited a little bit, but that waiting didn’t stop me from doing anything, right? I still went out and saw people. I was still open and available and vulnerable, but I wasn’t denying that I loved and cared about this other human being, and how that plays out will be how it plays out. And I think it’s something similar that Reenie will never wait for, let alone a man, for anything. Like you said, she’s in control and she’s going to do what she can, but she’s going to roll with the punches and if things change and things maneuver, then we’ll see.
Yes, it’s just like her own law firm. She hasn’t waited for anything with her career, so why would she do that in her personal life?
Facts.
But then there’s Russell (Jensen Ackles)—
Oh God.
It feels like that’s something that both Reenie and Russell know won’t go anywhere, but they both enjoy what it does to Colter when they bring it up.
I think you hit the nail on the head there. I think we both have love for this other human being, and I think that’s what connects us. We also both joke a lot and are both quite cheeky. And so to be able to see and play that together is fun. I think we’ll always have fun.
There are some ongoing mysteries set up, with Colter’s father and now the missing Gina. Will Reenie become involved in both in a significant way? What comes there?
I think Reenie has a point of view, especially regarding Colter’s vulnerabilities. She knows where he has insecurities. She never pushes those buttons because that would destroy their trust. I think the one thing they have going for them in their trusting relationship is the fact that she doesn’t pry, poke or push. She lets him share when he is ready to share. And I think some of the best relationships are like that. I don’t have to dig. I trust you. So regarding those cases, let me know to a large extent that I’m there, but I’m not going to push.
What about the Horizon Group?
Shady. Shady. I think that will trickle down a bit later, at least I hope so. I’m not in the room. But I think there are a lot of layers to investigating things that Russell and Colter have brought up that Reenie has control over to help investigate with Bobby (Erik Graise) and Velma to actually see if this will become a problem in the future.
What else awaits Reenie?
I think her client list is going to be exciting for her, whether that’s good or bad, but I think the quality of her clients is changing now that she has her own business, and that’s going to change what her life is meant to be about. is. Certainly.
Will we see her in the field more often and perhaps bring more business to Colter?
Yes. On purpose, I don’t know. (Laughs) Colter is my husband, but I always have to leave it to him. I can ask Colter if he wants to do a job. It doesn’t mean he necessarily will. There must be something in it for him, and it must really help me if he gives his best. So it’s up to him. He is his own man.
Could we possibly see Reenie, Velma, and Bobby working on something without him?
Oh, I would love that. I mean, what you’ll see this season is that the relationships are getting closer and this team supporting Colter and taking care of him, this little family that we’re building, I think that family is getting closer, a lot closer in the second . season, for sure.
Are there any upcoming guest stars you can talk about? Or recurring, like seeing Jensen again, perhaps Melissa Roxburgh‘s Dory, Jennifer Morrison‘s Lizzie, or new.
Honestly, I have no idea, but Jennifer needs to come back. I mean, she has a long history with Colter and she’s just a star and amazing. And she directed an episode. She is literally the whole package, so I can’t wait for her to come back. We clearly need to see Dory again. I don’t know when, but what’s in that box? I want to know what’s in the box, right? But I can’t keep asking Colter that because it will stress him out. So I wait for him to call me and tell me. So yeah, we gotta see them again. I guess if they’re a really important part of Colter’s life, we should see them again.
