Becky Swain was once presumed dead by the entire Weatherfield community, a name shrouded in tragedy in the memory of DS Lisa Swain.

But the truth is, Becky never left the game; she was merely pushed into the shadows by an extremely dangerous individual: DI Jerome Costello.

Becky’s return isn’t a spectacular rebirth, but rather the silent struggle of someone burdened with too many secrets and too many fears.

She knows what Costello did to Tia Wardley, knows he fabricated the story, hired someone to impersonate Tia to mislead Lisa and Carla, and distorted Tia’s name in the records.

Every time she looks at Lisa, Becky wants to tell everything, yet is haunted by the image of Tia being dealt with by him, to the point that just imagining opening her mouth makes her whole body tremble. Carla – the outsider but the most sensitive – gradually senses the deceit in the air. She began to notice the small details: Becky’s evasive gaze when Costello was mentioned, her avoidance of overly intrusive questions, the moments when she almost burst into tears but swallowed them back.

In Carla’s eyes, Becky wasn’t the cold-blooded type, but she always seemed to be trapped by something invisible. From there, Carla shifted from suspicion to actively counterattacking, silently observing, silently piecing together the fragments, only to realize that Lisa – the woman she loved – was being dragged into a quagmire without either of them knowing. The climax of the storyline explodes when Becky, in a moment of weakness, reveals details she should have kept hidden.
