WARNING: This article contains spoilers for today’s episode of EastEnders, which is streaming now on BBC iPlayer, but has not yet aired on BBC One – in which Zoe Slater receives an ominous threat.

Zoe Slater fears she’s in danger in today’s episode of EastEnders (airing Tuesday, October 28), as she receives an alarming message. This comes after Kat exposed her daughter’s baby con in last night’s episode, revealing that she’d lied to Sharon about Dennis being the father of her twins.

And, as the fallout settles, Zoe continues to clash with her mum over Kat’s betrayal. Kat issues an ultimatum – but Zoe is distracted when she discovers that someone has destroyed a family picture.

As the other shoe drops on Kat’s baby bombshell, Ian is horrified to learn of Zoe’s lies. In the next room, the pub quiz descends into chaos while Kat struggles with Ian’s wrath.

Realising how Zoe’s behaviour is affecting her business, thoughts turn to her family when Bert and Ernie ask her to stop arguing with Zoe. Upstairs, she shares a blunt confrontation with Zoe, warning her that she needs to either change her behaviour (apologising to Sharon, and returning the money) or leave.

Still fuming over her mother’s ‘betrayal,’ Zoe packs her bags, ready to leave.

Zoe receives a terrible threat

Meanwhile, across the Square, Vicki is devastated to learn that Sharon’s done with Walford. She phones Sharon to tell her about Zoe’s lies – only for Sharon to tell her that she’s going to America, to stay with Michelle.

Ignoring Zack’s pleas that she back off, Vicki swears revenge against Zoe for what she’s done.

Back at the pub, Zoe confronts Kat. She’s found a picture of them both, smashed up and smeared in fake blood. Kat denies being responsible – and shares an airtight alibi.

But if not Kat, then who destroyed the picture?
