Task Episode 6 Recap: Grasso's Tragic Fall Leaves Fans Reeling
In a shocking turn of events, the latest episode of HBO's Task saw Anthony Grasso (Fabien Frankel) make a devastating choice that left his colleagues and viewers stunned. The 45-year-old FBI agent's betrayal was revealed to be more than just a simple mole, but a calculated move that put countless lives at risk.
According to show creator Brad Ingelsby, the seeds of Grasso's true allegiance were planted throughout the series. "You want to be able to re-watch it and go, 'Oh, yeah, he was,'" Ingelsby said in an interview over Zoom. "There were things along the way that made sense when you get to the reveal."
Grasso's decision to feed information to the Dark Hearts motorcycle gang resulted in the tragic death of his colleague and romantic interest, Lizzie Stover (Alison Oliver). The incident also raised suspicions about Grasso's loyalty among his colleagues, particularly his boss Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo), who had taken on a paternal role.
Ingelsby explained that Grasso's actions were motivated by a loss of faith in the system. "He's really disillusioned, in a way that Tom is as well," Ingelsby said. "I think when the reveal happens, hopefully it feels earned."
The episode was marked by intense action sequences and high-stakes drama, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The show's ability to balance complex characters and plot twists has been praised by critics and audiences alike.
Task, which premiered in September 2025, has gained a loyal following for its gripping storyline and well-developed characters. With each episode, the stakes continue to rise, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what's next.
