The mystery deepens in the second part of “EXODUS 20:17” as the Lyell team continues to investigate the death of the elderly woman found in the cave. The motive behind such a crime against a vulnerable individual remains the central question, driving Nikki, Jack, and the two newest team members.
As the team digs further into the case, they must not only contend with the complexities of the investigation but also with the persistent tension created by their new boss, Professor Maven. Her management style continues to grate on Jack, and the resulting friction could jeopardize the team’s effectiveness.
The introduction of two new team members in the premiere adds another dimension to the narrative. Finding their place within the well-established Lyell team, they offer fresh perspectives on the case, while also facing the challenges of integrating into a group with its own history and internal conflicts.
“Silent Witness” airs Tuesdays at 9:00 pm on BBC One.
