EastEnders today (Thursday, July 2) aired its early iPlayer episode which saw Bea Pollard lose it with Billy Mitchell, framing him for murder.

The police turned up to tend to a report of a ‘serious assault,’ with it soon becoming clear to Honey that Bea had set Billy up.

Honey then rushed to find Billy so that she could warn him about what Bea had done.

Honey finally sees Bea’s true colours in EastEnders

Today in Walford, Honey broke the news to Bea that she didn’t want to erase Billy from her life. He was the dad of her kids and always would be.

With Will then telling Bea that she wasn’t welcome in their house, Honey tried to do some damage control and agreed to Bea cooking a beef dinner for everyone that night. She then stumbled upon a damaged crochet doll…

In the Minute Mart, Honey then shared her concerns about Bea’s cleansing ritual with Nicola. Zoe then showed up are revealed that Billy had changed his social media status to single. He then used some rather fancy French words to express his desire for love. Who else used fancy words? Bea!

Realising that her loved ones had been right about Bea all along, Honey then took Billy’s advice and met up with one of Bea’s old friends called Ruth. She told Honey all about how Bea quickly became her best friend but then tried to split her and her husband split up. Bea was always there to mop up her tears.

Bea got really weird when she started to distance herself from her. And, then she burned the house down and injured Ruth and Sam. They even lost their poor dog in the fire.

Bea frames Billy for murder in early iPlayer release

At home, Bea started getting to work on preparing the beef dinner when Billy showed up. He then got into a tussle with Bea and the dinner ended up going onto the floor, with Bea cutting her hand in the process.

Bea warned Billy that Honey was a sweet person who would never believe Ruth’s ‘twisted’ stories. She then started screaming that life wasn’t ‘fair’ and that ‘bad things should happen to bad people, not the other way round.’

A slap in the face from Bea then made Billy rush off, telling Bea that he’d let the police deal with her.

By the time the police rocked up on report of a serious assault though, the blood from the beef was smeared everywhere. And, there was no sign of Bea.

With the police searching for Billy, Honey and Nicola found him at the Boxing Den. He was hiding the kids there to keep them safe from Bea.

Honey then told Billy that Bea had stooped to a new low. She’d set him up and framed him for her own murder.
