Vigil viewers were shocked by the penultimate episode, which ended on a terrifying note for DCI Amy Silva (Suranne Jones). She was left in a vulnerable position as she was alone with Matthew Doward (Lorne MacFadyen), not knowing that he was in fact the Russian spy they'd been trying to track down.
When Matthew picked up the note he had written to Jackie (Anita Vettesse) Amy tried to protest and take it from him but, determined to keep his identity a secret, he knocked her out and locked her inside a torpedo tube that was quickly filling with water, so the clock was ticking for Amy.
Unfortunately, this is where the episode ended, leaving viewers shocked as they'd have to wait a whole week to find out whether or not Amy survived this horrific ordeal, or whether this case would be her last.
Many Twitter users were quick to share their frustrations, with many discussing claustrophobia and how the cliffhanger was nightmare-inducing! One wrote: "#Vigil In a torpedo tube filling with water is literally my worst nightmare. Quite a cliffhanger to go to bed with. I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight."
