As the Slaters discovered the latest threat against Zoe, Ross set out to repair his relationship with Vicki in EastEnders tonight. This involved a visit to Joel behind bars, where he hoped to get his son to change his not guilty plea.

Meanwhile, Ravi made a huge decision about his future, while Suki and Eve learned theirs. Elsewhere, Anna and Freddie shared a coffee date, and Oscar tried to get closer to Jasmine.

Here’s everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight.

Ross visited Joel

Vicki was making eyes at Zack from across the Square when Ross intercepted, informing her that he was off to visit Joel in the hope of getting him to change his not guilty plea. “It’s great that you’ve got family who want to get behind you,” he said, of Zack.

If only you knew, Ross. If only you knew.

Ross arrived at the youth detention centre, where Joel was being held. He was surprised to see Joel sporting a black eye, and was evidently having a rough time of it behind bars.

Joel was having none of Ross’s request that he plead guilty, either. He remained firm in his position that he’d done nothing wrong.

As Ross revealed how badly Vicki had taken the attack, Joel launched into another anti-wimmen tirade. “I can’t plead guilty and I won’t, because that means I feel guilt. And I don’t. Not one bit,” he told his father.

Ross reacted in typical Ross fashion, branding his mistake a visit, before storming off. Returning to Albert Square, he apologised to Vicki for his failures as a parent – and insisted that he was prepared to fight for his family, and their future.

Ravi made a huge decision

Ravi returned to Albert Square after the night before, having been beaten to a pulp by his boss’s men. As she mopped up his wounds, Priya fretted that she and the kids might also be in danger.

Realising how he was endangering his family, Ravi told Priya that it’d be for the best if he left, alone.

Reluctantly, Priya agreed, breaking the news to a broken-hearted Avani.

Good news for Suki and Eve

Suki and Eve welcomed another visit from assessor Robin. They informed him that Ravi would be moving out – and were happily surprised to learn that they’d passed through to the next stage of the assessment process.

Freddie and Anna followed up on their coffee date, where she questioned if they were doing the right thing. You know, seeing how he cheated on her with her own sister.

Meanwhile, Oscar and Jasmine also flirted over coffee. Jasmine took interest as she overheard a conversation between Anthony and Cindy, nagging her to attend a check-up at the surgery.

Frustrated by his lack of progress, Oscar confided in Patrick, who advised him to try a touch of romance.

Elsewhere, still thinking about last night’s kiss, Zack attempted to talk to Kathy. She advised him he’d be better served checking in on his son, Barney, who’s been going through a lot over the past few weeks.

Witnessing the local youths giving Tommy a hard time, Zoe stepped in. Not that he thanked her for it, insisting that he was more than capable of fighting his own battles.
