Zoe is home from hospital in EastEnders spoilers

As another week kicks off in Albert Square, a shaken Zoe is discharged from hospital. She returns to Walford on crutches and is supported by Kat as she gets out of the car. Zoe’s still in considerable pain, but that’s nothing compared to her emotional scars.

Zoe is greeted by the Slaters, who are thrilled to have her home. But it’s all too much for her and she rushes out.

The police are confident Zoe’s shooting was not a targeted attack, but remain unaware the real culprit is one of their own.

Zoe and Vicki have a public spat

When news of Zoe’s homecoming reaches Vicki she’s keen to have it out with the woman involved in her dad Den’s murder. Back in 2005, Den was bludgeoned to death in a vengeful attack carried out by his wife Chrissie. Zoe was involved in Chrissie’s plot against Den, and for a while she thought she’d killed him. She fled Walford not long after this.

Tempers quickly flare as Vicki confronts Zoe in the cafe. So much so that Kathy and Anthony are forced to step in and separate the pair.

However, Vicki isn’t done. She follows Zoe to The Albert, where they have round two of their public spat.

Zoe gets a terrible shock

Following her run in with Vicki, Zoe heads to The Vic for a drink with her family. She seems happy to be back in the fold, but Zoe’s mood shifts when she learns Freddie and Mo have shared the story of her shooting with an online publication. And just to make things worse – the local paper has run a story about her on its front page.

This is the worst possible news for Zoe. Her face and whereabouts have been made public knowledge and it puts her at huge risk.

Reeling from the discovery, Zoe leaves a message with a face from her past. Could it be her ex-lover Max?
