Next week on Coronation Street, tensions between Kevin Webster and Carl reach a dangerous peak, culminating in a gun being fired at the garage. Kevin receives a letter asking him to provide a reference for Carl, but he refuses due to their turbulent history. When Kevin discovers a video showing Carl sabotaging his car's brakes, he confronts him. The clash escalates as Carl pulls out a gun supplied by his dodgy contact Fiona. Kevin, believing the gun is fake, grabs it and points it at Carl. A tussle ensues, and the weapon is discharged. It remains to be seen if anyone is hit.
Meanwhile, Brody, Dylan, and Betsy are refused service at the Rovers due to Brody being underage. They head to the precinct with cans of alcohol but are surrounded by a group of rough lads demanding the cans. Brody bravely orders his friends to escape while he leads the thugs away. He unexpectedly runs into Debbie, Sally, Bernie, Glenda, and Christina, who overpower the assailants. Back at the pub, Dev and Tim worry about their wives, whose phones are off, but Brody reassures them.
Elsewhere, Debbie suffers nightmares after the gun incident and argues with Tracy over a flower order, with Tracy blaming Debbie's dementia. Debbie accidentally spoils a baby gender reveal party by letting slip the baby's sex, and later mistakes a popping balloon for gunfire. At the hospital, Nick awaits news on Sam after his breakdown, blaming Ben and Eva for pressuring Sam to testify at Megan's trial. Despite finding common ground with Ben, Nick lashes out again upon learning how much Sam has suffered.
