1. She fought with Joel

Lisa’s made her hatred for Joel well known. He was threatening her own daughter, Betsy, after all.

The Weatherfield detective has always done right by the law (or so we think), but did protecting her daughter come first on the night of September 27th?

Did Lisa whack Joel on the head with the crowbar she was holding? She was adamant that Joel was dead even before his body was found… But, how could she have been so sure? Did she get into a fight with him? Did she finish him off?

One fan wondered: “Loved that ending, did Lisa kill Joel?”

2. Deliberately knocked over

Viewers paying particular attention to detail last night heard a car revving its engine at the end of the episode, wondering if Lisa was knocked over by a car on purpose…

Was she deliberately driven at whilst trying to catch someone doing something they shouldn’t have been? Joel perhaps?
