Coronation Street fans finally learned who killed Theo Silverton earlier this week, and now another resident knows the truth. During Monday's tense dinner party episode, flashbacks revealed that Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) pushed Theo to his death, then called Gary Windass (Mikey North) for help. Gary helped cover up her involvement, but his suspicious behavior drew the attention of DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).
Gary's slip of the tongue
In Thursday's episode, Gary and Kit had a heated confrontation that Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) tried to defuse. Gary accidentally hinted that the killer was closer to home than Kit realized, planting a seed in Todd's mind. Later, Todd returned to Sarah's flat and urged her to stop lying. After some back and forth, Sarah confessed, explaining how and why she killed Theo. Todd was heartbroken by her revelation.
Sarah hits rock bottom
After Todd left the flat, Sarah went to the Rovers to get drunk. Todd debated whether to go to the police but eventually decided to keep quiet out of love for Sarah. In a tough conversation at the Rovers' Beer Garden, Todd said he wanted to prove to Theo he could move on, but Sarah stole that chance. However, he loved her too much to see her imprisoned, so he chose to stay silent. Heartbreakingly, he ended their friendship, saying they were over.
A new discovery
Though Sarah was relieved to be off the hook for now, she remained in a bad place. However, tonight's episode also saw her make a major discovery about her own attack that night. The details of this discovery could change everything, but viewers will have to watch to find out exactly what it is.
