The new Coronation Street drama not only revolves around the romance between Carla, Lisa and Becky, but also drags police power into the light.

When Betsy is arrested in the middle of the night on charges of resisting arrest, damaging police property and assaulting DI Costello, a big question arises: is this all part of a conspiracy?

Betsy, tired and confused in her cell, cannot understand why things have turned against her.

She remains silent during interrogation, while Costello skillfully uses his power to force Becky to “disappear”.

The move to demand that Becky keep quiet or her daughter be punished is clearly not a random warning, but rather a tacit contract between power and secrecy.

Around the same time, Carla is contemplating a risky move: working with people who have been close to Becky in the past to find evidence against Costello. She began to search through files, looking for emails, text messages, and recordings that might reveal that Costello had been hiding something. If true, she could turn her position of being threatened into one of control.

However, Becky was not so easily controlled. She knew that Costello had used a Tia Wardley impersonator to approach Carla and Lisa, creating a story that made them believe that Becky was an innocent hero – all in order to hide the truth. This was not the first time Costello had used deception to protect himself.

A dark part of Costello’s plan was to use Betsy as a psychological weapon. If Becky did not comply, Betsy would be charged with more serious crimes. Carla understood that the battle this time was not between two strong women, but between Becky and the hidden power in the police force.
