As the pair come face-to-face, Josh sees his life flash before him… and as David drags him to the top of a staircase with the help of Abe and Tez, it seems he is right to think that David is planning revenge.

Back on the cobbles, the Platts are horrified as they watch the prison riots unfold on the local news… and soon they’re relieved when David calls Shona.

Shona is horrified to think that David has attacked Josh, but he is adamant that he didn’t have anything to do with Josh’s injuries.

But while Shona wants to believe David, Max is then sent a video of the prison riots and it clearly shows Josh collapsing from a stab wound with David very close by.
