In Silent Witness season 18 episode 5 titled "Protection, Pt. 1," the team takes on the case of a young woman who died in police protective custody. Nikki is called to the scene when her friend and colleague, DS Gold, is shot while providing security for the witness protection program. With a bullet lodged in her skull, Gold fights for her life while the team begins to investigate the case.

The young woman, Charley, was a witness in a gang-related murder case and was being kept in a safe house. However, she managed to slip away and was found dead shortly thereafter. Nikki and the team must determine if she was killed due to negligence on the part of the police officers tasked with her protection or if her death was linked to the murder case.

As the investigation progresses, the team uncovers a web of corruption and cover-ups within the police department. Nikki and Jack butt heads with a detective who seems more interested in protecting the department's reputation than finding the truth. Meanwhile, Thomas and Clarissa follow a lead that could shed light on Charley's murder but puts them in danger.

The episode is filled with tense moments as the team works to unravel the mystery behind Charley's death. The ramifications of police protection failures are explored as Nikki grapples with her own feelings about DS Gold's shooting. With the promise of more revelations and plot twists in part two, "Protection, Pt. 1" is a gripping installment in the Silent Witness series.
