We’re used to seeing Dr Nikki Alexander and Jack Hodgson using their respective pathology and forensic expertise to put criminals behind bars. However, in the latest episodes of Silent Witness season 29, Grace of God, it’s Jack who’s locked up. He’s long been known for his skill at fighting and cage fighting is a favoured pastime of his.
Yet things are a lot more serious now as after Jack ended up in a fight with Scott Ashton, the man ended up on Nikki’s autopsy table just days later. So is Jack Hodgson actually a murderer himself? And what does that mean for his future as a lead character? Here I break down what happened to Jack in Silent Witness across both parts of this gripping episode.
