Zoe’s stalker strikes again in EastEnders tonight
Kat remains worried about Zoe following the events of last week. She tries to ease tensions between Zoe and Jean, but the pair are at each other’s throats – and Jean’s behaviour only worsens as she prepares for Freddie and Anna’s leaving do.
Meanwhile, having grown supicious after his reaction to her rejection last week, Zoe suggests that Anthony might have been responsible for the card. Outraged, he denies having anything to do with this latest threat.
Later, the family gather in Albert Square for the Christmas lights switch-on. As Elaine delivers a heartfelt speech in Freddie and Anna’s honour, Howie gets down on one knee to propose to Kim.
However, the mood is soon spoiled when the lights come on – revealing a horrifying message in the window of The Vic. Has Zoe’s stalker struck again?
Zoe confronts Tommy
Zoe is horrified to look up at the window of The Queen Vic, where a set of Christmas lights spell out the word ‘DIE,’ in all-capitals.
She returns home, and begins packing her bags to flee. But, as she grabs Tommy’s rucksack, she can’t help but see what’s inside – packaging for the lights. She accuses him of stalking her, just as Kat and Alfie walk in.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Lily has grown suspicious of Jean due to her behaviour throughout the day. Noting how she was missing when the lights came on, Lily accuses her of stalking Zoe.
“Fine!” Jean snaps. “It was me! I want her out of our lives. Gone.”
