As the residents of Walford attempted to come to terms with the situation at Kojo’s flat, another crime had occurred not too far away. A spot of catnapping, to be exact.

Having learned that Zoe had defaced the pictures herself, Kat and Alfie were dubious about her claims that someone had kidnapped her cat, Mini Mo. Is this another manipulative game from Zoe? Or has someone really taken her cat?

Elsewhere, Suki tried to change Eve’s mind as she had second thoughts about the adoption. Also, Nigel attended his assessment ahead of next week’s hearing.

Here’s everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight.

Zoe’s stalker struck again… or did they?

Kat and Alfie were still fuming at her for defacing the pictures, and were through with her claims that she was being harassed. Hoping to distract her, Freddie enlisted Zoe in shifting some of Big Mo’s dodgy sparklers… which turned out to be incense sticks.

On the Square with Freddie, Zoe was shocked to get a message from her mystery tormentor. ‘GUESS WHO HAS YOUR KITTY CAT?’ the menacing text read. ‘I DO.’

Naturally, after all that had happened, Kat assumed that Zoe had sent the text to herself.

Goodbye Norma

Following last night’s fraught exchange, Eve had disappeared. As Suki fretted she returned home, stinking like a bottle of tequila. Norma was unconcerned by the state Eve was in, and headed off on a trip to Madam Tussauds.

Eve, meanwhile, was thoroughly rattled by Norma’s cruel words. Before heading for her ships at Stacey’s Baps, she informed her that the adoption was off.

Cornering Eve at work, Suki tried to convince Eve that Norma had been wrong, and that she was indeed a changed woman. But Eve remained firm in her refusal, and told Suki that she’d have to deal with it. Bumping into Lily, Suki enlisted her in changing Eve’s mind.

At McKlunky’s, Suki read out Lily’s reference for the adoption board. Eve grew emotional at Lily’s impassioned endorsement, and agreed to give the adoption another chance.

Afterwards, Norma returned home to find that her reference was no longer needed. It didn’t take long for Norma to get mean and judgmental again, causing Eve to finally snap, and give her mother a piece of her mind.

As Norma revealed she still hadn’t forgiven Eve for her sister’s death (not that it had been her fault in the first place!) Suki stood by her woman, and gave Norma her marching orders.

Good riddance!

Nigel feared for the future

It was the day of Nigel’s assessment, and he was feeling nervous about his future. He was joined by Phil and Julie as he was quizzed by his case worker – who wasn’t exactly reassuring when they asked if Nigel faced a spell behind bars.
