EastEnders early iPlayer scenes today (Tuesday, July 7), saw Bea Pollard get arrested after kidnapping Honey and threatening to kill Billy.

Bea had planned a whole new life on the run with Honey. And, she even forced her to steal a huge sum of money from the Minute Mart accounts.

But, Honey spotted a chance to escape and made sure that Bea didn’t get away with what she’d done.

After being attacked and bundled into the back of a car by Bea, Honey woke up to find herself locked in a mysterious country cottage in the middle of nowhere.

She was horrified when Bea started to share her plans for a new life with her best friend Honey. She even suggested that they could get fake passports and new identities for themselves and Will and Janet.

Bea then suggested that they stole from the Minute Mart. This would be enough to start their new lives away as well as treating themselves to a campervan too.

Honey noted that Bea had said that they were staying in Fordwich. She cleverly popped that in as the reference when she transferred over the money to her own account.

Suki then told Nicola and Linda, and the women soon rushed over to Kent to save Honey.

Meanwhile, it turned out that a couple had actually booked to stay at the cottage, turning up and having a confrontation with Bea.

With Honey being locked in a cupboard, she managed to escape while Bea was distracted and legged in through the woods.

Her friends then spotted her and managed to take her back to Walford.

Back in Walford, poor Billy had been through a right ordeal after being arrested on suspicion of Bea’s murder.

But, once Honey arrived back home, she soon found Billy in an even worse ordeal. This was because Bea had beaten her to her destination and was now holding Billy at knifepoint.

Honey managed to intervene and push Bea to the ground before threatening to hit her over the head with an ornament. Instead though, she decided that Bea would pay for what she’d done as the police arrived and arrested her.

Bea was then whisked off in a police car. And, an emotional Honey and Billy tried to come to terms with the day’s events.
