Object
The Jackal (Song)
A rousing recorded track titled 'The Jackal' that blasts through the press room as a musical cue, filling the space with sudden, euphoric energy. The audio is loud enough to prompt C.J. to lip‑synch, to make staff laugh and move, and to provoke Toby's protectiveness over the moment. The song functions as an audible prop that crowds the room, masks softer conversation, and shapes how characters behave within the beat of its rhythm.

Purpose
To serve as a diegetic musical cue that establishes mood, punctuates celebration, and drives character reactions during the scene.
Significance
The track provides a combustible emotional release that temporarily unites staff and shields a covert maneuver: Leo uses the revelry surrounding 'The Jackal' to plant Sam with Mallory. The song therefore both humanizes the team and unintentionally enables manipulation, marking a pivot in interpersonal trust and scene tension.
