'Sugar' Episode 6 begins with David Siegel (Nate Corddry) fighting for his life after shooting himself. His parents and the Siegel family decide to let him die instead of keeping him in a vegetative state. 

The episode also sees John go after Stallings in search of Olivia only to discover that Olivia is not with him. He gets into a fight with Staliings and gets injured. John discovers Ruby's role in protecting Stallings as Ruby tells him to drop the case. 

As he heals with the help of Melanie (Amy Ryan) and Henry (Jason Butler Harner), a mysterious truth about his identity is revealed after he injects himself and turns blue like an extraterrestrial figure. 

What to expect in 'Sugar' Episode 7?

John Sugar could continue his search for Olivia Siegel and ignore Ruby's warnings. John is emotionally invested in this as it reminds him of his sister. We might learn how his sister's life is related to that of Olivia. 

Melanie helps Sugar and there is a romantic angle brewing between them. This could be explored further in episode 7. David's death has brought the Siegel family closer and they might help John in discovering the truth about Olivia. 

The episode may shed light on the connection between Stallings and the spy agency and why Ruby is so desperate to protect him and asks John to drop the case. 

Finally, we might learn a bit more about the mysterious and possibly extraterrestrial identity of John Sugar. Is he an alien or is he hallucinating? Episode 7 will answer many questions. But until then you're welcome to speculate interesting plotlines with us.
