UPDATE: Fans of HBO’s gripping series Task will not want to miss the latest episode airing tonight, October 12, 2025, at 9 PM ET. This sixth episode promises to escalate the already tense narrative, bringing viewers to the edge of their seats as multiple storylines collide violently.
Last week’s episode left viewers on a cliffhanger, with Robbie Prendergrast, played by Tom Pelphrey, embroiled in a dangerous drug deal deep in the woods. The Dark Hearts gang, led by Perry (played by Jamie McShane) and Jayson (played by Sam Keeley), are hot on his trail, unaware that their insider, Grasso (played by Fabien Frankel), has warned them of the FBI’s presence. The tension mounts as the FBI task force moves in, hoping to apprehend Robbie, culminating with Tom Brandis (played by Mark Ruffalo) desperately pleading for Robbie to surrender.
In addition to the escalating standoff, emotional stakes rise as Maeve (played by Emilia Jones) has turned herself into the police, seeking leniency amid the chaos. Meanwhile, Tom’s daughters, Emily (played by Silvia Dionicio) and Sarah (played by Phoebe Fox), finally come together, raising the emotional intensity of the plot. The shocking death of Jayson’s wife Eryn (played by Margarita Levieva) at the hands of Perry adds another layer of drama that will undoubtedly affect the characters’ choices.
