Before Roy can recover from the shock, the rumor about the “ambiguous” relationship between Lisa and Becky has spread throughout Weatherfield.

People whisper and gossip. Every look, every word is like a knife cutting into Lisa.

She doesn’t know how to face it – the more she explains, the more suspicious people become.

Becky is indifferent, seemingly not caring that her name is being called out on every street.

Meanwhile, Carla – Lisa’s current lover – begins to lose patience. Carla is a strong, rational person, but when she hears that Becky is back, she can’t hide her uneasiness. She used to trust Lisa absolutely, but now, the image of Lisa being caught being “intimate” with Becky makes her waver. Carla begins to observe, check, even delay the trip to stay and monitor the situation. “You said you love me, but why did you lose your temper when she came back?” – Carla questioned, and Lisa could only keep silent.

Lisa was caught between two strong women. On one side was Carla – the one who brought her new, stable, understanding love. On the other side was Becky – the one who shared with her a fierce, intense, but also hurtful past. Every time Becky appeared, Lisa was pulled back into her old emotions, like a moth attracted to a flame. She was afraid, but could not escape.

Becky, on the other hand, seemed to have the upper hand. She did not deny, did not confirm, only smiled vaguely every time others asked. It was that silence that made the rumors even more intense. Some people said she was deliberately “manipulating” to destroy the relationship between Lisa and Carla. Others believed that she just wanted revenge for the years of being abandoned.

Carla decided not to sit still. She found Becky and asked bluntly, “What do you want from Lisa?” Becky simply replied, “To get back what is yours.” That statement left Carla frozen – both angry and scared. Was Becky talking about Lisa, or about the life, honor and power she had lost?

The drama reached its climax when Carla declared: if Lisa did not make up her mind, she would be the one to leave. Lisa collapsed, wanting to hold on to Carla, but unable to give up Becky – because between them was not just an old love, but also secrets that had not been told. And the story now was no longer “who loves who”, but “who is manipulating who”.
