Before watching The Day of the Jackal episode 9, audiences might want to reflect on the series' narrative thus far.

In another complication, Jackal's wife Nuria also found his true identity out and demanded to see him so that she could hear the whole story.

On the other hand, Bianca Pullman spent some time with her daughter Jasmine. She also tried to apologize to Larry for interfering in his life, but the conversation ended in a bloodied twist when he used a knife on himself. Bianca and her team then found the file on Alexander Duggan and scoped out his connection with the Jackal under a non-disclosure agreement.

The Day of the Jackal episode 9 shall revolve around Jackal's return to Croatia to finish off the hit on UDC at his island home. His wife Nuria shall also be involved in the story with her husband, finally finding out the full truth about him and what he does.
