That’s the big question that hangs in the air to start the second half of this season of Hijack .

The Details

It’s finally clear that Idris Elba’s Sam Nelson is being fully Jigsaw-ed, forced to do dangerous things at the end of puppet strings being controlled by a distant master. Whoever it is has Marsha Nelson in his sights, and that’s why Sam has taken this train hostage.

What hasn’t been explicitly dropped is that this master likely plans to kill Sam, framing him as someone who went mad with vengeance against the man who killed his son. Is it someone we know from this season or last?

Why This Matters

The writers are being frustratingly vague here, which has led to some of the lack of tension this season. Imagine Die Hard with Hans Gruber being held as a last-act surprise or Speed without Howard Payne. The truth is that this show could use a villain.

The entertainment world moves fast, and this is a prime example.

Key Takeaways

• At least we had a big rough from last season return.
• It’s a weird scene in that it doesn’t fr get us anywhere.
• It could be a fake out, a misdirect when it’s spilled later that Stuart fr does know more than he’s letting on.

The Bottom Line

So who is in charge if it’s not Stuart or someone connected to Cheapside? To giving a solid, elusive performance as someone who has seemed shady in the first half of the season but that could be just because Jones often plays characters with questionable motives.
