A brief recap of Task season 1 episode 6

Task season 1 episode 6 was a turning point for the series and a tragic one. The episode started with Robbie's drug sale attempt going awry as both the Dark Hearts and the FBI closed in. There was a violent confrontation, and several people were killed and betrayed. Robbie confronted Jayson, the killer of his brother Billy, taking a mortal stab wound in the process.

Meanwhile, Lizzie, in the crossfire, was hit and killed by Perry and Jayson's vehicle as they made their getaway, a result of Grasso's informant work and a gunshot wound that had perforated her eardrum. It was later discovered that Robbie never actually planned on selling the drugs but had concocted the whole scheme to fund money for Maeve and his kids.

By the end of the episode, Maeve had obtained the money, marking the culmination of Robbie's ultimate sacrifice.

Task season 1 episode 7 is expected to wrap up the series' main conflicts through the resolution of the aftermath of Robbie's death and the revelation of the mole inside the task force. Tom is likely to concentrate on delivering justice to Anthony Grasso after discovering his role in the death of Lizzie and the tainted operation.

Grasso's increasing guilt and the lack of evidence from the FBI can cause him to react erratically, possibly trying to hide his tracks or escape. The Dark Hearts, which are broken now after Jayson and Perry's misfortunes, might exact vengeance in pursuit of the lost money that is now in Maeve's possession without her knowledge.

The fact that Maeve has the money might endanger her and her children, compelling her to take drastic action to secure their safety. Task season 1 episode 7 could potentially bring personal closure and institutional repercussions, bringing together the aftermath of betrayal, vengeance, and survival that have driven the season's plot.

Task season 1 episode 7 will premiere on HBO on Sunday, October 19, 2025.
