Faye Windass hasn't had freedom for very long and having been released from prison on bail, she is very much on thin ice.
So it's no surprise the teen will be left terrified she'll be put back behind bars after she is involved in a car accident with Emma Brooker.
Coronation Street viewers saw the pair headed home following their New Year's Eve celebrations during Monday night's double bill.
Faye was driving a still tipsy Emma back to Weatherfield when they knocked over Ted, an old man carrying his shopping.

The girls were quickly relieved when the gentleman, played by Dougie Brown, opened his eyes and told them he was fine and invited them into his flat for a brew.
Eventually heading back to the street, Emma was left shaken when Imran Habeeb spotted she was still a bit worse for wear and told her that she shouldn't be in charge of a learner whilst under the influence, before wearing her if they had an accident she would be in trouble.
With their conscience eating away at them, Emma and Faye decided to return to the flat to check up on Ted and apologise.
But they find him dead at home in his armchair.
Speaking to press, including the Manchester Evening News, Faye actress Ellie Leach revealed what her character is feeling.
"I think Faye's first thoughts are, 'Oh my God, I'm going back to prison'," the soap star said. "She's so worried about going back to prison she can't even really begin to think they've caused this to happen. They've caused this man to die.
"She just keeps thinking, 'Oh my God, I'm going to go back to prison,' and I think that's the overwhelming feeling she's got at first. Then she is worried about what they're going to do because this guy is dead and they're in his house."
The girls then vowed to keep the accident, and Ted's death, a secret with Ellie saying the characters hope that by keeping it to themselves, it will all 'just go away'.
But in soapland, secrets don't always stay secret for long and Faye's boyfriend, and police officer, Craig Tinker could be close to rumbling them.
In upcoming scenes, Corrie viewers will see Craig sprain his ankle while out on a run and to Faye's horror, Tyrone Dobbs gives him Ted's crutch which the girls still had from the deceased's house.
"She hates lying to Craig," Ellie said of Faye. "He's such a do-gooder and he always wants to do the right thing and she wants to do the right think but it would mean putting herself in a position where she could potentially go back to prison.
"She doesn't want to lie to Craig but she thinks it's for the best to keep her and Emma out of trouble."
Later this week in Corrie, Craig reveals to Faye that he's arranged for them to move into the salon flat with Tyrone and Emma.
When Emma heads home to find Craig and Faye on the doorstep with their bags, she's not happy to discover they're moving in.
