Great news, everyone! We've finally found Lauren! Unfortunately, the person who found her is none other than the sinister Joel Deering. He's come up with another plan to cover up his abusive relationship with Lauren Bolton, and she's been forced to go along with it.
As you may recall, Joel left Lauren for dead back in February. He had been using her for months, forcing her to engage in a sexual relationship with him in exchange for money to pay her bills. But when Lauren decided to leave Weatherfield and start a new life, Joel panicked and attacked her. He repeatedly hit her with a chair leg, leaving her for dead. However, in a thrilling turn of events last week, we learned that she was actually still alive, despite the fact that Roy Cropper and later Nathan Curtis were charged with her murder. Lauren had been living on the streets, trying to avoid running into Joel again. And to make things even more shocking, she also revealed that she's pregnant with his child.
After escaping once again, Joel became even more determined to find Lauren and stop her from revealing the truth. But things took an unexpected turn when Bethany and Dee-Dee decided to play detective. In tonight's episode, Joel confided in his fiancée Dee-Dee Bailey that he felt it was his duty to find Lauren, since he had represented Nathan during her disappearance. Dee-Dee, who was still on cloud nine after setting a date for their wedding, urged Joel to let the police handle the situation. But Joel was convinced that he needed to find Lauren himself.
Meanwhile, Dee-Dee was going through Bethany Platt's bank statements, trying to figure out where Lauren might be. She noticed that a train ticket had been purchased from Leicester to Warrington, and she and Bethany set off to investigate. They were tipped off by a woman who knew Lauren's whereabouts, and they were shocked to learn that not only was she pregnant, but she had been staying at a derelict pub nearby. Dee-Dee immediately called Joel to share the good news, but he was in the middle of a meeting with his blackmailer Betsy Swain. He ordered Dee-Dee to leave his car so he could rush to the scene.
Meanwhile, Lauren was still on the run, afraid of being found by Joel. But she couldn't run forever, and she eventually collapsed. Fortunately, Dee-Dee and Bethany were able to catch up to her. But before they could get any answers from Lauren, Joel appeared and forced her to stay quiet. Suddenly, Lauren fainted again, and the women rushed her to the hospital. There, they learned that fainting is common in pregnant women, especially those who haven't been eating regular meals.
Once the coast was clear, Joel entered the hospital and sat down next to Lauren. He insisted that she go along with his story about Nathan being the one who abused her, in exchange for a place to stay during her pregnancy. As they were talking, DS Lisa Swain arrived to question Lauren. Will she be able to tell the truth?
