Meanwhile, Julie arrived home to find a letter from Nigel informing her that he’d gone to the hospital. At the hospital, he offered his apologies to Gina – although she and George were unaware that he’d been the one driving. As Nigel sloped off to find Jasmine, Gina broke down, upset that Harry hadn’t been in touch during her time of need. Meanwhile, in Jasmine’s room, Nigel questioned whether he’d been responsible for the accident – asking her what she meant by her comments yesterday. Covering for her true motive (whatever that might be), Jasmine lied and backed up Julie’s version of events – telling him that he hadn’t been there, before sending him packing with a flea in his ear. Outside, Julie collared him with more lies. She brought him back home, full of reassurances that she’d been driving.

Elsewhere, Kat was at her breaking point with Zoe's behaviour, after witnessing her lie to her Private Investigator. Meanwhile, Teddy set off in search of Harry as Kojo returned home to the flat. And Johnny and Tim sealed the deal, in spite of a warning from Callum. Here's everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight. What's Jasmine hiding? Still suspicious over the absence of Jasmine's mum, Oscar was doing some snooping around a recently-arrived fruit basket. Jasmine insisted that her mum lived abroad, and then sent Oscar packing too. With Oscar gone, Jasmine opened a card from her mysterious well-wisher. "Rest up and get well soon," it read. "We need you on top form." Kat's through with lying Zoe Aware that she'd stolen money from The Vic, Kat remained suspicious of Zoe. Having made contact with her Private Investigator, Zoe made her excuses, and headed out for the day. Following her to a park, Zoe got Kat to admit that she'd stolen from the pub.

Catching her daughter in a lie, Kat realised that she was still not being honest - but with whom? Back home, Kat was confused as to why Zoe was hiding things from her PI. She confided in Alfie, telling him that she was worried about the influence Zoe was setting for Tommy. Listening in, Zoe overheard as Kat told him she'd have to buck up her ideas - or leave.

Kojo made a show of taking the pill but, once Okie was gone, spat it straight back out again. Callum doesn't trust Tim Callum was doing his research on Tim, and stalking him on social media. Learning that Tim was gay had Callum feeling jealous, and he warned Johnny that his old friend's interest might go far beyond professional. At The Albert, Johnny confided in Elaine, who advised him that there was no harm in a little flirting.
