If the Theo-Todd drama is a storm, Sarah is the one who saw the first lightning.

It all started when she accidentally caught Theo and Pete driving a mysterious white van at 11pm – the exact time when no one in Weatherfield should be out on the streets unless… there’s something fishy.

At first, Sarah just thought “well, it must be a delivery”.

But what stopped her was Theo’s expression when Sarah looked at her: startled – scared – then pretending to be calm.

The expression of someone hiding something big.

Sarah told Todd. Todd – who has the ability to sniff out wrongdoing like a sniffer dog – immediately became suspicious. Theo’s claim that Pete “was unreachable” suddenly turned out to be a blatant lie. From here, Sarah and Todd became an unlikely investigative duo.

The drama really began when Sarah followed Theo to an abandoned warehouse near the market. Pete opens the van door and pulls out a large black bag. Not a body – but big enough to look suspicious. As Theo looks around, Sarah hides behind a trash can, her hands shaking with both nervousness and excitement, like “what the hell am I seeing?”

Inside sources say this storyline won’t involve human trafficking or drugs, but it could be:
– financial fraud
– illegal dealings in areas Ryan has been involved in
– or a secret from Pete’s past that Theo is trying to cover up

The scene where Sarah tells Todd is really interesting: Sarah talks fast, her face pale, and Todd goes from shock → anger → headache → determined to find Theo and ask him for answers. This leads to the attack in part 2.
