The episode ends soon after, with Stuart in cuffs, and Sam a hero. Sam uses his phone as a decoy, asking his ex-wife to call him-which she does at exactly the right moment. Even though they tussle a bit, and Stuart lobs some Bond-villain threats to Sam, our guy beats him with his brain. This leaves the poor dude-who just verbally landed a plane-to deal with Stuart. In a hilarious thriller-genre-plot-hijink, Sam is about to leave the plane, when the door suddenly closes on him. The police rounds up the hijackers-save for Stuart. When Amanda finally lands Flight KA29, everyone hops off the plane and into safety. It could've been a scene in Top Gun, if Maverick started piloting for Southwest. Hijack! My show of the summer.Īnother thing you knew would happen: somehow, nearly all of the passengers would vacate the plane, leaving only two people-Sam and Stuart-to fight to the death. Sam has had no business meddling in about half of Hijack's events, so it's only fitting that this season's final moments show him violently rocking back and forth in the cockpit, while he calms down a woman who was blackmailed into flying a hijacked commercial flight. What I didn't expect? Sam channeling every single bit of Idris Elba energy to tell her that she can land this damn plane. He manages to convince Amanda to open the door for him, which was largely expected. I got exactly what I wanted: Sam, essentially, negotiating a 200-ton aircraft to the ground. It would've been too lax for some random passenger with a Harrison Ford-level of piloting IQ to step in and land the plane. Going into the season finale, I was hoping-damn near praying-for a justifiably batshit ending to Hijack. Idris Lands! This! Damn! Plane! (Sort of.)
