While Debbie and Carl aroused public suspicion, Becky sent chills down people’s spines in a different way: power.

This week, the Becky-Lisa-Carla dynamic perfectly captured the “the quieter, the worse” vibe.

Lisa was already shocked when Carla demanded to withdraw her name from the mortgage, feeling like Carla was trying to sever something between them.

Before she could process this, Lisa saw Carla acting normal online, seemingly happy and fine, as if nothing had happened.

But it was precisely this “normalcy” that unnerved Lisa, as it seemed Carla was trying to hide a crisis. Lisa tried to remain calm, even delivering good news: Costello was recovering and about to be discharged. She expected this to bring relief, but instead, Becky reacted as if she’d been hit where it hurt: panic, tension, and a calculating look in her eyes. And then Corrie delivered the final blow that left everyone breathless: just as Costello was about to leave the hospital, Becky suddenly appeared, brandishing her police badge, assuming control of the situation and leading everything like an escort.

Costello was instantly terrified, not by fear of being questioned, but by fear of being devoured. This scene is haunting because hospitals are places where people are weakest, most easily manipulated, and a single badge can turn an entire hallway into a cage. Becky didn’t need to yell, didn’t need to make blatant threats; simply standing in the right position and saying “according to procedure” was enough to silence everyone. And when Costello fears Becky, it means there’s some past or secret between them that Becky holds the upper hand over.
