UPDATE: The final episode of the gripping HBO crime series Task premieres tonight, October 19, 2025, at 9 PM ET on HBO and HBO Max. Following last week’s shocking twists, fans are eager to see how the devastating story unfolds.
Last week’s episode left viewers reeling as two beloved characters faced untimely deaths, leaving lingering questions and unresolved conflicts. The dramatic conclusion of Episode 6, titled “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a river,” revealed a shocking twist: the drug money that led to Robbie Prendergrast’s (played by Tom Pelphrey) demise was nothing but travel pamphlets. Meanwhile, the real cash is now in the hands of Robbie’s niece Maeve (played by Emilia Jones) and his estranged wife Shelley (played by Mickey Sumner).
Pelphrey shared insights about his character’s journey, stating, “Robbie’s realization of his situation leads to a desperate plan.” The emotional stakes are high as FBI Agent Tom Brandis (played by Mark Ruffalo) grapples with the consequences of betrayal from within his task force. Viewers are left wondering how the remaining characters will navigate their own crises, especially with Jayson Wilkes (played by Sam Keeley) still unaware of his wife’s tragic fate.
The anticipation for Episode 7, titled “A Still Small Voice,” is palpable as it promises to answer pressing questions: What will Maeve do with the money? How will Tom’s family cope with the fallout? And can any character find a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos?
