What happened previously in The Day of the Jackal? A quick summary of episode 7
The previous episode of The Day of the Jackal revolved around Ulle Dag Charles (UDC) and a launch event he was speaking at in Tallinn. The Jackal was required to execute a hit on him, for which the assassin manipulated people like Rasmus and gained access to the concert hall where the event was being hosted.
The Jackal snuck through the vents of the venue and set up his rifle at a spot above the stage. He did this to leave as little trace of his presence as possible and even avoided security sweeps conducted by Bianca and her team of federal agents.
However, UDC was walled in behind a shield of bulletproof glass, making it difficult for the Jackal to pinpoint a spot to shoot.
The mission was made more difficult by the fact that a gunman tried to assassinate UDC separately, forcing the Jackal to abandon his plan and evacuate as UDC was carried to safety.
What to expect for the upcoming episode of The Day of the Jackal?
The Day of the Jackal episode 8 shall explore the show's characters and their backstories more deeply. One element of the episode shall be Bianca confronting Larry in prison.
She is likely to be weighed down by the guilt of the attack at Ulle Dag Charles' event, and letting the Jackal slip through her fingers yet again.
The journey ahead might not be smooth for the Jackal either. He might be set to face a moral crisis on the battlefield, as a visit to the past baffles his critical abilities.
Additionally, the assassin's need to win might drive him into more dangerous situations, especially since he failed to perform a successful hit on UDC at the Tallinn event.
Audiences can watch The Day of the Jackal episode 8 release on Peacock on Thursday, December 5, 2024. The previous seven episodes of the show are already streaming on the platform.
