On a desolate piece of wasteground, tension reaches a boiling point as Bernie finds herself caught in the middle of a dangerous game of leverage and resentment. Mick, spiraling further into desperation and rage, seizes Bernie in a last-ditch effort to lure Kit into a trap. But Bernie is no pawn. She makes it clear to Mick that if he thinks using her as bait will get to Kit, he’s dead wrong—because Kit, in her words, “doesn’t give a stuff about me.” Still, Mick makes the call, his tone threatening and unyielding, instructing Kit to come alone or not at all.

When Kit arrives, he’s faced with a harrowing sight: Mick clutching Bernie in a menacing grip, issuing demands with icy precision. The moment is charged with years of unresolved pain, betrayal, and buried truths. Bernie, her life hanging by a thread, finds her voice in the chaos. She delivers a heartfelt confession, revealing to Kit that she had tried to reach out to him years ago, but was blocked by his mother, who refused to let any connection take root.

Now, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Kit must make an impossible decision—step into danger to save a woman he’s spent his life feeling abandoned by, or walk away, possibly condemning her to a terrible fate. This emotional confrontation threatens to shatter what little trust or family ties remain between them. Will Kit risk his own life to rescue Bernie, or will he see this as a final severing of their already fragile bond?

Meanwhile, back in Weatherfield, the fallout from Craig’s brutal attack continues to grip the community. Lisa is on edge, anxiously waiting by the phone for any word from Jess at the hospital.

The group tries to hold each other up as they reflect on the nightmare they’re all living through. Kirk reaches out to Beth, breaking the devastating news about Craig’s condition.
