Picking up where Episode 5 left off, the Salli Richardson-Whitfield<\/a>-directed installment brought action to the woods as the Dark Hearts, FBI, and Robbie (Tom Pelphrey<\/a>) converged. While Robbie seemingly had a plan to lure the Dark Hearts there, the arrival of Tom (Mark Ruffalo<\/a>) and team mucked things up, as he then took a defensive approach, attempting to protect Tom from the Dark Hearts.<\/p>\n While Anthony Grasso\u2019s (Fabien Frankel<\/a>) task force team was unaware of his connection to the Dark Hearts, he juggled the two sides as he warned the gang members to leave. When Lizzie (Alison Oliver<\/a>) shot one of the Dark Hearts, she was in their crosshairs and lost part of her hearing after a shot rang out next to her ear.<\/p>\n Peter Kramer \/ HBO<\/p>\n When they learned from Aleah (Thuso Mbedu<\/a>) that Kathleen (Martha Plimpton<\/a>) had been shot, Lizzie made a run for the vehicle she arrived in, as she searched for a first aid kit and called for back-up on the radio. Meanwhile, her impaired hearing left her unable to hear the Dark Hearts as they sped over the bridge, directly at her.<\/p>\n She was struck and killed on impact, and as Grasso rushed to her side in an attempt to comfort her, his resulting reaction hinted that, despite his crooked ways, he did care for her. \u201cI found it emotional to shoot that scene, actually,\u201d Frankel admits.<\/p>\n \u201cThe setup of it, they make it look so real,\u201d Oliver adds. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of really sad losses in it.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Robbie faced off against Dark Hearts\u2019 head Jayson (Sam Keeley<\/a>), and he finally was able to let out his aggression on the man who was responsible for his brother\u2019s death.<\/p>\n Sadly, Robbie didn\u2019t walk away from that fight unscathed as he was fatally stabbed by Jayson. Ultimately, Tom managed to get to Robbie and helped him walk back to the road toward a newly arrived cop car. As Tom directed the cop to get them to a hospital, Robbie was fading, and Tom was there for his final moments.<\/p>\n But while it may have been the end for Robbie, the episode\u2019s final moments revealed his contingency plan as his niece Maeve (Emilia Jones<\/a>) received a big stash of cash, the earnings from the dope he\u2019d stolen. In other words, he knew he was on a suicide mission as he faced the Dark Hearts, but it was all about how it was revealed to audiences as Pelphrey shares, \u201cWell, a lot of it was then deciding for myself at what point Robbie really knew that that was the only way to go, and layering that in for myself in an honest way, that wasn\u2019t tipping my hat or anybody to the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s always fun as an actor to have a secret, to know something that you can\u2019t let anyone else around you know,\u201d Pelphrey adds.<\/p>\n![\"Alison](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/task-episode-6-lizzie-death-alison-oliver-855x570.jpg\")
