Sharon returns to Walford and is shocked to see Zoe is back in EastEnders

What will be made of Zoe's shocking admission?

 20-26 SEPTEMBER

With the Slaters still in shock from last night’s ordeal, Zoe tries to defend herself to Kat, Alfie and Stacey, but it’s clear the family are suspicious when she continues to evade the truth about her past.

Arriving back in Walford, Sharon is shocked to spot Zoe outside of No.31 and as Vicki and Zack welcome her home, Sharon remains fixated on Zoe and goes to confront her.

Later, Sharon heads to The Vic and calls a truce with Zoe. And things are awkward between Sharon and Phil when they bump into each other in the café, but she offers an olive branch and asks Phil to look after Albie that evening, which he accepts.

Sharon’s attention soon turns to Vicki’s debt, but overwhelmed with the current situation with Joel, Vicki storms out where she bumps into Zoe and the pair fight in the Square.

As he and Anthony break up the fight, Zack gets hit in the process.

Later, Sharon and Phil share a warm exchange, but her happiness is short-lived when she returns home to find Vicki and Zack after their encounter with Zoe. Sharon confronts Zoe in The Vic, who hits back with a shocking admission.

Refusing to believe Zoe, Sharon loses her temper before Kat chucks both Sharon and Vicki out of The Vic.

Later in the café, Ian senses Sharon’s upset and takes her back to his for a heart-to-heart with Kathy before trying to convince Sharon that Zoe is lying.

Upstairs in The Vic, Kat and Alfie question Zoe on her claims.

At No.31, Stacey tells Lily that Sean has invited them to live with him in Brazil, and Lily attempts to encourage her to accept. The moment is interrupted as warring Kat and Zoe enter.

Later, Kat enlists Stacey’s help to plant a plant in memorial for Zoe’s daughter in the Square gardens, and Zoe starts to thaw to Kat.

Stacey tells an ecstatic Lily that she’s booked their flights to Brazil, but the moment is broken when Jean arrives, and Stacey is forced to reveal all.

As Jean covers her hurt, Stacey and Lily later arrange to meet Ricky to tell him the news. But Lily panics when Jack arrives and with Stacey a no-show, she is forced to reveal the news on her own.
