"Now comes the scene when..." sounds odd in [American] English. I feel like "The scene when... is coming now" should be an acceptable translation.
"each other" and "one another" - what is the difference? I think we would be more likely to say "the next scene is the one in which they kiss one another'

One another could refer to more than two people, which could be weird (or not) in this context(?)
I guess they just wanted it to be easier by having the same order as in the swedish sentence
In previous lessons we learned that in such sentences we can use both ways for present tense...kiss each other...or...are kissing each other....but DUEO did not accept...KISSING form.

For the pronunciation, is the "sc" pronounced like "s" or like "sh"? I tried listening to the forvo link from Helen, but couldn't tell. There were two options and each one sounded a little different.

I keep translating this as 'in which they kiss each other' because that sounds more logical in English to me? Since they kiss each other in the scene?
That doesn't really express the intent of the sentence, to my ear. A more idiomatic translation (I think) would be "Next up is the scene where they kiss each other." Although your translation is probably an acceptable literal translation.
I could, of course, be entirely wrong.

This looks like a word-for-word translation (när-when) but it loses the overall meaning in English. You could maybe say "Now comes the scene where they kiss each other"
