While Todd is on the run, Roy is struggling with past secrets, and Dee-Dee ends her relationship, the darkest drama unfolds in the hospital — where Becky Swain sneaks into DI Costello’s room with a syringe in her hand.

A scene that will leave viewers breathless, as Coronation Street could enter a land of no return in just a moment.

Becky has been filled with despair and hatred after recent events.

To her, DI Costello is not just an enforcer of the law — but the source of all her pain.

When Costello lies motionless, Becky sees it as her “only chance at justice.”

Her eerie calm as she opens the door to the room makes the scene even more chilling.

The syringe in Becky’s hand glints under the hospital lights. Every step she took toward the hospital bed felt like a strangulation of her belief that people could always behave properly. In a second, Becky could have ended it all — but then, Lisa appeared.

Lisa, in an almost cinematic scene, lunged at Becky, pulling the syringe from her hand. They wrestled in the hallway, gasping for air, metal hitting the cold floor. Becky screamed, “You don’t understand me!” — and for a moment, we saw she wasn’t just angry… but broken.

After being separated, Becky burst into tears. She wasn’t a murderer — she was just someone who had gone too far because she thought no one else was on her side. Lisa held Becky, but her eyes were filled with fear: if Lisa had been a few seconds later, Becky would have destroyed her entire life.

Now the scariest thing wasn’t that Becky had almost killed — it was the question: What would she do next?
Which side does a man who has stood so close to the edge of evil fall on?
And would DI Costello — if he woke up — know that death had been standing at his bedside?
