While Jasmine dropped her bombshell on Max, there was more drama unfolding across the Square as Nugget left the house for the first time since his attack.

There was trouble for Elaine as she was forced to use dirty tactics to get around drama with the council.

Phil was also celebrating his birthday and George found himself in a tricky spot when Nicola asked him out on another date.

Here’s everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight…

Nugget had a panic attack

After recovering from being violently attacked, Nugget was understandably nervous about leaving the house. But after some words of encouragement from his family, he went to meet Denzel in the Square.

However, memories of the night he was beaten haunted him, and he started having a panic attack. Luckily, Denzel was on hand to help – but it looks like Nugget’s road to recovery is going to take much longer than he thought.

Sam told Ricky the truth

It was Phil’s 65th birthday, but while the rest of his family threw him a surprise party, Sam completely forgot. Ricky was annoyed that his mum didn’t seem to care, and her claims that she had a lot on her mind didn’t help.

Eventaully Sam confessed the truth about her cancer to Ricky after some sage advice from George. The teen took the news like a grown-up and told his mum he would be there by her side when she had the surgery later in the week.

Elaine fought dirty

Elaine was less than impressed when Councillor Barker arrived at Peacock Palace following Ian Beale’s complaint about her new sign for the B&B… sorry, boutique hotel.

But not one to backdown, Elaine got the gossip on Councillor Barker from Honey. She told her all about the naughty photos he sent to Ruby Allen, claiming it wasn’t the first time, or the last.

Using this to her advantage, she tried to get him to back down. However, the whole thing backfired when he produced her dodgy paperwork for planning permission, and the pair came to a stalemate.
