The Apple TV+ series “Hijack” has been keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with its intense storyline about a group of hijackers who take control of a commercial flight. In episode 6, the tension reaches new heights as the British authorities are forced to make a tough decision and Sam Nelson tries to outsmart the hijackers. But did he save the day? Let’s dive into the episode’s recap and ending explained.
The British Authorities’ Decision:
With the hijackers demanding the release of two convicts from prison, the British authorities are left with no other option but to comply. They decide to buy time and try to gain a better understanding of the situation while the hijackers and Sam Nelson continue to rely on their instincts.
Devlin’s Call And Felix’s Tweet:
The news of the hijacking reaches the media through a call from Devlin to journalist Felix Staton. Devlin hints that he stands to benefit from the collapse of Kingdom Airlines and Macmillan Doyle Insurance Company’s shares due to the hijacking. Felix, who has a history of involvement in insider trading, tweets about the hijacking. Neil and Louise at the counterterrorism headquarters are shocked by how quickly the news has spread.
The Tracker And Edgar’s Threat:
The authorities have planted a tracker on the convicts’ car as they make their way to the airport to board a chartered flight. Edgar drops his phone midway, and when he realizes he is being followed, he threatens to start killing passengers if he finds out he is being tracked. He encounters a roadblock and loses his temper, demanding it be removed. He contacts Stuart on the hijacked flight and orders him to kill a passenger.
The Woman With The Hijackers:
Sam has won the trust of the hijackers and is in a position to influence their actions. He convinces Stuart not to kill a passenger and instead sends a picture of a woman who had already been killed. However, he knows that the hijackers will make more demands and someone else will be killed. Sam decides to take matters into his own hands.
Amanda’s Shocking Move:
As Sam and the other passengers try to take control of the situation, they discover that there are two additional people on the plane with Edgar and John Bailey-Brown. One of them, a woman named Amanda, shoots Robin Allen and locks herself in the cockpit. Sam realizes that they have a bigger problem on their hands and only has an hour before the plane lands.
Sam’s Plan And The Final Showdown:
Sam comes up with a plan to take down the hijackers and regain control of the plane. He marks an empty bottle with the tagline “Get ready to shake things up” and starts a coordinated attack with the other passengers. They manage to take down the hijackers one by one, but Edgar and John Bailey-Brown escape in a car.
Conclusion:
In the end, Sam and the other passengers are able to regain control of the plane, but there are still loose ends to tie up. Did Sam Nelson save the day? Only time will tell as we eagerly await the next season of “Hijack”.
