Silent Witness pair Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox) and Jack Hodgson (David Caves) got close in last night’s episode (Monday September 27).
And now viewers are pleading for them to get together.
But will these two – who have grown close over the years – every get together? Viewers certainly hope so.
What happened between Nikki and Jack in Silent Witness?
Last night’s episode had a bit of everything.
Yes, there was a murder (of course there was), and The Lyell Centre welcomed a new character to the team – Simone Turner (played by Genesis Lycea).
But there was also a storyline involving Jack – his brother Ryan was released from prison, and came to live with him and Conor.

However, this emotional upheaval destabilised Jack and he was on edge for most of the episode.
So much so, Nikki stepped in to look after her best pal.
But with some of the looks the pair shared going beyond friendship, viewers wondered if – finally – these two were going to get together.

Emilia said: “I would say Nikki makes some mistakes along the way in this series and gets caught up in some things which make life a bit complicated.
