Hijack is really working the tension and suspense. It is Alice Sinclair (Eve Myles) who puts together what is happening with the Kingdom flight. Once she arrives to work late.
No one else wondered that things did not add up. A false alarm combined with a text from a passenger.
Sam Nelson is slyly manipulating events. He has the captain taken away from the cockpit but when they need to sign in to the countries that the plane is flying over. The captain of the plane needs to be there. Sam also finds a way to communicate with him.
Meanwhile one of the passengers who is ex military believes that the guns the terrorists have are not real. A few of the passengers want to take them on.
There was one think that the terrorists did not plan for. Toilet breaks, food, drink and medication. You would think if a guy needs insulin they would allow that to be taken.
There was a lot of see sawing in this episode. The passengers are on the brink of grabbing the initiative. In London the government is almost getting their act together. The Foreign secretary did not inspire much confidence though.
