The aftermath of a horrific Christmas Eve has left Weatherfield in a state of collective trauma.

A resident is dead, Becky is under suspicion, Theo is haunted by his past, Lisa has collapsed, Carla has become colder than ice, and Kit Green has launched the biggest investigation of the year.

But the central question that fans and residents want to know is:

Who’s behind it all? Becky? Theo? Or is there another force yet to be revealed?

Becky—cool, calm, and all too good at appearing at the right time—is clearly no ordinary “returned victim.” She’s always one step ahead, always observing, always in control of others’ emotions. The evidence has begun to point in her favor: the secret meeting with the victim, the text messages from the moment of the accident, and her strange behavior when confronted by Lisa.

But Theo couldn’t escape suspicion. The mysterious man chasing Theo continued to appear around the neighborhood, as if waiting for the right moment to “deal with” him. This made the neighborhood believe that Theo was once part of some dangerous group. And since Becky had an ambiguous relationship with Theo, they were naturally considered a “criminal couple”.

However, Kit had a theory that startled Carla:

“Maybe Becky and Theo weren’t on the same side.”

This opened up a new line of investigation: Becky might be hunting Theo. Or Theo might be trying to get rid of Becky. Or they might both be being manipulated by a third person.

Lisa, after the emotional shock, began to remember many small moments that she had previously overlooked: calls Becky had abruptly ended, money that had disappeared from her account, secret rendezvous. The more Lisa searched, the more she realized that Becky was never as predictable as she thought.

Carla goes the other way: she suspects the mystery man is the key. His identity, his timing, and Theo’s knowing look in his eyes lead Carla to believe he might be the only one who sees the whole picture.
