 Hidden Agenda Villain
 H/JACK / int_161fa3b8
comment
 Hidden Agenda Villain: The hijackers take over the plane, but seem intent on making sure the plane doesn't change course and that their actions are kept secret from the ground, at least for a while. They don't target any specific passengers, so it's not clear why they want the plane. It's eventually revealed that they are trying to free two crime bosses. They also have their own plans.

 Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The sweet old man helping the student athlete? He's actually one of the hijackers. A random woman on the plane is actually another, separate hijacker who takes over the plane when given the signal by the crime bosses.

 Ax-Crazy: Throughout the end of the hijacking, due to his brother's death and the original plan being derailed, Stuart constantly goes berserk on passengers, especially to Sam Nelson. In the final scene, Stuart then attempts to barbarically kill Sam for ruining everything, showing many signs of severe unstability throughout.

 Hostage Situation: The whole series is premised on this. In the first episode, the hijackers threaten to kill a flight attendant the captain had an affair with in order to force him to unlock the door to the cockpit.

comment
 Public Secret Message: The pilot makes specific, minor course corrections that can be passed off as drift to the ignorant hijackers but are known to ground control as distress calls in the absence of the ability to communicate directly.

 Weapon for Intimidation
 H/JACK / int_d68762ef
comment
 Weapon for Intimidation: One of the passengers deduces that the hijackers are firing blanks based on the types of handguns and lack of damage to the plane, as well as their unwillingness to execute unruly passengers. Sam insists on confirming that first, giving enough time for one of them to retrieve a bag containing live rounds in case of an emergency.
