Coming face-to-face with Zoe for the first time, Tommy’s meeting came as Alfie and Stacey struggled to explain all their lies. Kat eventually let their dishonesty slide in the name of finding Tommy, unaware of where he’d really gone. What do Tommy and Zoe have planned? Elsewhere, a traumatised Patrick postponed his wedding to Yolande, and Vicki shared some home truths with Ross over his parenting. Meanwhile, Julie revealed her surprise for Nigel, while Harry lost the gun he’d been tasked with stashing. Here’s everything that happened in EastEnders tonight. Kat learned the extent of Alfie and Stacey’s lies (Credit: BBC) Kat learned the truth about Zoe in EastEnders tonight With Kat reeling from Alfie’s admission, he began to explain the full story. As if that wasn’t enough, he revealed that she was back in the UK, although he had no idea where she was. Article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Learning that he and Stacey had lied to him, Kat was understandably furious. She stormed out onto the Square, where she confronted Stacey over hiding Zoe in the flat. After she’d chewed the guilty parties out, Jean found Kat out in the playground, where she tried to play devil’s advocate. Kat revealed how they’d grown distant; sharing that Zoe had ‘faded away’ in her absence, to the point where they eventually became estranged. There she is! (Credit: BBC) Tommy tracked down Zoe With Tommy still missing, Kat fired off a message, begging her son to come home. Alfie hadn’t been able to find him either (“not very good at finding my kids, are you?” quipped Kat), and the parents despaired. Launching a search party, the family set out in search of another missing Slater child. And where was Tommy? Arriving at a rough-looking flat, Tommy had achieved in a few hours what Alfie had taken weeks not to do – he’d tracked down the elusive Zoe Slater. Patrick had some disappointing news for Yolande (Credit: BBC) Patrick called off the wedding in EastEnders tonight Anthony paid Oscar a visit. Explaining how his own brother, Paul, had died after getting himself in trouble, Anthony explained that he was willing to go along with his dad’s act of, well, not exactly forgiveness, but to let the attack slide. Oscar was to keep well away from Patrick and the Truemans, though. Patrick, meanwhile, was still down in the dumps after everything he’d been through. Turns out, Oscar couldn’t stay away for long, and swung by to see Patrick with the gift of a bottle of rum. Still, Patrick wasn’t exactly in a forgiving mood, and sent Oscar packing with the same message as Anthony had – stay away. Meanwhile, Anthony arrived in The Vic, where he apologised to Howie for the punch (take a shot every time Anthony said “I’m supposed to be the good son”). Amends made, the family returned home to show off their newfound unified front to Patrick. But he had a bombshell of his own in store… broken by what had happened, he wanted to postpone the wedding. Ross was furious to learn what Joel had been up to (Credit: BBC) Vicki shared some home truths with Ross Joel returned home to find Amy waiting with his parents. They’d managed to convince her not to tell Jack, but she’d revealed everything that had happened in the cafe. Putting on a show of bravado, he shrugged off Vicki’s attempts at discipline, leaving Ross shocked as he described her as a ‘middle-aged woman making bacon butties for minimum wage.’ Snapping, Ross pinned his son against the wall, snarling in a tearful Joel’s face. Packing Joel off to his room, Vicki took charge of the situation, dealing out some painful home truths to a stunned Ross. Joel’s behaviour, she explained, was down to his bad example. Harry’s attempt to hide the gun backfired (Credit: BBC) Harry lost the gun in EastEnders tonight Still struggling with his little job, Harry had decided to bury the gun. And not very well, either, barely covering it beneath some gravel and a paving slab in a disused (but hardly isolated) yard. Seeing a shifty-looking Harry emerge, suspicious Oscar followed to investigate. In the Arches, Harry explained to Ravi what he’d done with the gun. Annoyed to hear that he’d tried to bury it, Ravi tasked Harry with bringing the piece to him, so he could store it in a more sensible manner. But, when he went to retrieve it, Harry discovered that the firearm was gone. Julie had a surprise in store for Nigel (Credit: BBC) Nigel was reunited with an old friend Following yesterday’s shady phone call, Julie revealed her surprise – she’d brought Nigel’s car down to Walford. But is that really all Julie’s hiding? Read more: Who’s leaving, joining and returning to EastEnders? Complete list of cast exits, arrivals and returns.
