Just when it seemed Jasmine being charged with her own father’s murder was the biggest drama of the week, today’s EastEnders sees a mystery caller ring Jasmine’s missing phone – and they’re set to cause chaos. After it was revealed in yesterday’s EastEnders that Max was the one who had stolen Jasmine’s phone, fans were left wondering what he was going to do with it. But before Max can decide whether he will take the phone to the police or not, the decision is taken out of his hands.

Meanwhile, Zoe storms through the Square, trying to find Jasmine’s missing phone. She bumps into Max in The Albert, and he buys her a drink. He is given food for thought when she tells him how much she wants to save Jasmine from jail. But he later accidentally insults her and she walks out. However, Cindy has been listening to their conversation and quickly works out that Max has the phone. Max tries to play dumb, but she points out that he knew things about the murder that haven’t been in the papers. Things that only someone who had seen the video would know. Caught out, Max admits he stole the phone from Anthony’s wake and asks Cindy what she thinks he should do with it. Cindy instantly says he should destroy the phone, and is shocked that he hasn’t done so already. Max isn’t convinced, though, and tells Cindy that he is still processing what he saw in the video and considering handing it in to the police.
