Nikki (Emilia Fox) and Jack (David Caves) are working a particularly disturbing case in Silent Witness' latest two-episode drop.
Episodes five and six have the pair investigating a missing-persons case when dismembered body parts begin to crop up, starting with a hand in a body of water.
Things continue to get even more stomach-churning, and joining them for this dreadful episode are some exciting guest stars including a Line of Duty actor, an EastEnders legend and more.
Here's who is in the latest episode of Silent Witness.
Anneika Rose as Lucy
The pressure intensifies for Rose's Lucy in the latest episode of Silent Witness but you'll not get any spoilers here! Away from her latest role Rose also featured in Line of Duty as PC Farida Jatri and as Maggie Kean in Shetland.
