"After Task's first episode last week, my dad texted me and simply stated: As a Pennsylvanian, I did not hear an accent. Really? I asked. Not even when Robbie's (Tom Pelphrey) dream to ern his ern island just fell out of his mouth? Nope, my father responded. Must be used to hearing it. Sure, dad, and Joel Embiid is going to play all 82 games this season."
"So, to force the uninitiated to hear the Delco accent for what it truly is, Task creator Brad Ingelsby wrote a scene in episode 2 where yet another character says a line drowned in Rita's water ice. The father-derter dance is Thursday night, Maeve (Emilia Jones) reminds Robbie. Good grief. Mark Ruffalo was right when he told EW that it's the craziest dialect I've ever heard. (And I would knowTask's dialect coach is from my hometown.)"
Robbie faces intensified consequences after a trap-house bust goes wrong, forcing him to kill his targets and resulting in the kidnapping of an orphaned child named Sam. Cliff remains shell-shocked and haunted by the victims' faces, while Robbie attempts to steady him with reassurances about fate and long friendship. Robbie also juggles family obligations, insisting he and his daughter will attend her school dance despite danger. The Delco accent is emphasized through dialogue and a deliberately written scene. FBI agent Tom Brandis continues a cat-and-mouse pursuit of Robbie as tensions escalate.
