As a shocking situation unfolded across the Square, another (albeit more low-key one) was taking place in The Vic. Growing suspicious after a conversation with Bert and Ernie, Alfie was shocked to learn that Zoe had defaced the pictures herself.

Is Zoe the agent of her own torment?

Elsewhere, Norma let her true colours show, while Nigel reminisced over old times.

Here’s everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight.

Zoe admitted the truth

As Zoe and Kat panicked over the defaced pictures, Alfie called the police. As they waited the old bill’s arrival, Zoe continued to stress that someone was out to get her.

Kat was keen to support her daughter and, after hearing her wallow in self-pity regarding missing Mini Mo, agreed to help raise funds for the Investigator (for Zoe’s son, not the cat) by selling her share of the limo business and laundrette.

After a meeting with Harvey, Kat was successful in securing the £3000 she needed to secure the Private Investigator. Later, she and Kat met with Ms. Blake, who explained that she’d managed to find someone who ‘met him’ as a baby, but that was where the paper trail ended.

Meanwhile, as he chatted to the twins, a new information came to light. They’d seen Zoe deface the pictures.

Back at The Vic, Alfie confronted Zoe over the twins’ claims. Kat was horrified as Zoe admitted that she’d been the one who wrecked the pictures.

Norma got nasty with Eve

Norma may have agreed to provide the reference for Eve and Suki, but they weren’t in the clear yet. Eve was convinced that her mum was still testing them both. As they toured the market, Norma continued to drop barbs regarding Eve and Suki’s living situation.

Hoping to win her over, the Panesars took Norma over to The Albert, along with Priya, Ravi and Avani. Tension bubbled to the surface as Avani spotted a picture of Eve’s twin in Norma’s purse.

As Norma fired off another barbed comment, an upset Eve took herself to the bar. Following a pep talk from Suki (and a swiftly downed beer), Eve returned to awkward conversation at the table.

Back home, Norma finally let loose with what she really thought – slamming Eve’s fridge full of wine, dodgy family and ‘interracial marriage.’ “You couldn’t even take care of your own sister,” Norma said, cruelly.

Suki returned home to find Eve gone, and  Norma acting cryptic.

Also in EastEnders tonight

As Nigel prepared for his assessment, he took delivery of a box of documents from Julie. This included an old film script he’d written, long before he got sick.
