‘Silent Witness‘ enthusiasts declared they had “died and gone to heaven” following a long-awaited and steamy encounter that viewers claim was “11 years in the making.”

In the latest episode of the BBC drama that aired on Monday night, the investigative team delved into a suspected suicide case, leaving more questions than answers. Amidst the high tensions of the episode, the climax came in the final moments, featuring a significant release between Dr. Nikki Alexander and her boyfriend Jack Hodgson.

The pair’s romantic journey began with a kiss in the episode titled “Matters of Life and Death,” escalating to a more intimate level in “History, Part 1.” Although their official relationship was confirmed in “History, Part 4,” fans have had to wait patiently for more intimate scenes.

The long-anticipated moment finally arrived at the end of the latest episode, with the pair sharing a cosy chat on the sofa. Jack then pulled Nikki onto his lap, and as she straddled him, the two engaged in a passionate kiss, leaving viewers at home feeling heated.

Expressing their excitement on X – formerly Twitter – one fan exclaimed, “OH MY GOD need to watch again. Never gonna get over this.” Another chimed in, “HOW TO BREAK THE INTERNET.” A third tweeted, “Screamed, died, gone to heaven,” while a fourth gushed, “Excuse me while I sit in a dark room and cry, only taken 11 years for these scenes.”

A fellow fan added, “Our wait finally paid off,” accompanied by crying emojis. ‘Silent Witness’ aficionados are revelling in the long-awaited romantic development between Dr. Nikki Alexander and Jack Hodgson.
