A brief recap of Duster season 1 episode 6
In Duster season 1 episode 6, Jim and Nina accompanied Saxton, Royce, and Billy for the business deal with the Russians. Nina was the interpreter, Jim was the driver who was recently promoted to have more responsibility in Saxton's dealings, and Royce was there to count their payment to the Russians.
However, the deal turned sideways after Royce began feeling the effects of the vodka with his new pain medication. His eyes started getting blurry, and he felt strung out, causing the Russians to cut the deal off. However, Jim saved the day by telling the tale of how Royce was supposedly dangerous.
Jim told him how Royce continued fighting men long after they cut his chest open, leaving his heart almost hanging out of his body. It was a bluff, but the big scar on Royce's chest from his heart surgery in episode 1 was enough to convince the Russians. The Russian businessman was impressed and wrapped up the deal quickly.
However, that wasn't the only hiccup Jim and Nina had to face. They were ambushed by two of Greek Sal's men, and when they defeated those, Billy became extra suspicious of Nina. He discovered that the man he and Jim had found Nina talking to earlier in the day was a fed, so he thought Nina was an undercover fed too.
But Royce, who was charmed at first sight by Nina, intervened and stopped Billy from almost shooting Nina dead. In the end, the Russian deal was successful, Saxton wa happy, and Nina and Jim's secret was safe.
What to expect in Duster season 1 episode 7?
It's the penultimate episode of Duster, and things are expected to heat up quickly. While Jim and Nina stopped Billy's inquisition in the previous episode, he's another person that they have to be careful about. While there isn't a lot known about the upcoming Duster season 1 episode 7, the show still has plenty of storylines to explore.
Based on the previous events, the man named Cowboy is yet to make his move against Nina. There's still also no update on Sergeant Groomes, the first person who knew about Nina and Jim's deal. Adding to Jim's mounting problems that are likely to play out in the next episode is Izzy getting in Saxton's crosshairs.
Moreover, with the Russian deal done, Nina and Awan are expected to continue their investigation into Saxton. They also have to uncover the mystery surrounding Xavier, as the series nears the end of its first season.
