In Silent Witness season 23 episode 9, entitled "The Greater Good, Part One," tensions run high as the Lyell team investigate the death of a promising young doctor who has links to a prominent pharmaceutical company. Forensic pathologist Dr. Nikki Alexander (played by Emilia Fox) and her colleagues must navigate a complex web of secrets and lies as they try to uncover the truth behind the doctor's untimely demise.

The episode kicks off with the shocking discovery of Dr. Ava Drake's body in her apartment. Nikki and medical examiner Dr. Thomas Chamberlain (played by Richard Lintern) arrive on the scene to begin their investigation, but tensions soon rise when they discover that the young doctor has connections to Longborne Pharmaceuticals, a company with a questionable reputation.
