Kat and Cindy arrested in EastEnders

Ever since Zoe’s death, Kat has been determined to find out who the mystery person was who left her suffering. Viewers are aware that the person in question is Max.

When Honey, Jean and Jasmine had just finished fixing the order of service, Jean accidentally knocked a drink over a customer. Jasmine rushed to her rescue, and the Slaters realised she’s a lot like her mother.

After hearing that Jasmine wants to officially be a Slater, Kat began knocking back drinks at the bar with Cindy and Elaine. But then she had a slight altercation with another customer.

Trying to prove a point, Kat stole his bank card and headed outside. A scuffle ensued between Cindy, Kat and the customer. But when two police officers approached, one was knocked to the ground.

As a result, both Cindy and Kat were arrested. But the timing couldn’t be worse, as Zoe Slater’s funeral will be taking place tomorrow.

One fan penned on social media: “Today’s episode was great. I didn’t expect Kat to get arrested!”
