Driving to a nearby toy store, she tells Sam to go inside and pick out something, and she\u2019ll follow behind, but instead she dials 9-1-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But as sirens begin to near and Maeve observes what\u2019s going on, she learns that Sam has snuck back into the car, putting her in a precarious position as authorities surround the area. While she attempts to leave, a trunk check forces her to come up with a diversion, telling authorities she saw a confused child in the toy store, and eventually, she is dragged into an arcade where she\u2019s asked to identify the child among a lineup as Tom observes her.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Emilia Jones in &#8216;Task&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Peter Kramer \/ HBO<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She manages to believably convince Tom and others that one of the random children is who she was referring to, and she\u2019s released, returning home with Sam in tow. Upon her return, though, she runs into Robbie and asks with simmering anger what he\u2019s done to them. As viewers see in the episode, the Dark Hearts are an organized bunch that is seriously dangerous. A kidnapped kid is a quick way to ask for trouble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cShe\u2019s just trying to do the right thing,\u201d Jones tells TV Insider of Maeve\u2019s motivations. \u201cShe\u2019s been put in such a difficult situation. When you meet her, she\u2019s incredibly stuck and is a mother figure to her uncle\u2019s children. She\u2019s trying to create structure, and she just feels like she\u2019s slowly starting to lose her identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That much was evident in the show\u2019s premiere when Maeve brought a date home, and things didn\u2019t go to plan when Robbie unceremoniously interrupted things. \u201cAnd so, when Robbie pulls her into this other mess, she feels her whole world start to just crumble around her, and she\u2019s livid because she has been amongst the Dark Hearts before\u2026 Robbie has dragged her into this criminal activity again,\u201d says Jones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The stakes of Maeve\u2019s attempt to turn Sam in heighten as soon as viewers discover he\u2019s snuck back into the car, and Jones reveals, \u201cIn the scene in the car with Mark [Ruffalo], when she\u2019s trying to do the right thing by turning Sam in, I tried to emotionally map it out so I wasn\u2019t peaking too early with certain emotions because it\u2019s a long sequence and it\u2019s super stressful from start to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And if this is only Episode 2, we can only imagine the further levels of stress viewers are in for.
