Just when everyone believes Bernie has simply gone off to clear her head, a chilling discovery sends panic rippling through Weatherfield. Her handbag is found abandoned near the canal — phone inside, unanswered messages still lighting up the screen. There’s no sign of her, no witnesses, and no explanation. What began as a night of grief has now turned into a full-blown emergency.

Dev is the first to realise the truth: Bernie didn’t choose to disappear. Something went wrong.

As police are quietly alerted, guilt consumes those who saw her last. Did the girls push her too far? Did Mal follow her when no one was looking? And why does CCTV show Roy’s café closing just minutes before Bernie was last spotted nearby?

Suddenly, every small interaction is re-examined. Every word spoken at the Rovers becomes a potential clue. Dev blames himself for not stopping her. Mal’s story begins to unravel under pressure. And Roy finds himself dragged into a mystery he never saw coming.

The Street fractures into fear, suspicion, and whispered accusations.

Because now the question isn’t just where is Bernie?

It’s… who knows more than they’re admitting?

And when the truth finally surfaces, it may prove that Bernie’s grief wasn’t the most dangerous thing that night.
