Tommy continues to plead his innocence as Zoe’s accusations reach a boiling point, insisting he has nothing to do with the strange incidents that have left her feeling tormented and unsafe. But Zoe, already on edge and spiralling, lashes out with full force. She confronts Tommy, then turns her frustration on Kat and Alfie, leaving them stunned and unsure how to defuse the chaos she is creating.

When Zoe storms downstairs into the bar, her emotions erupt again — this time colliding with Vicki. Their heated clash draws attention from all corners of the pub, pushing the situation dangerously close to exploding. Realising that Zoe is no longer in control and fearing things could get even worse, Kat makes a heartbreaking decision. With visible reluctance and a heavy heart, she asks her daughter to leave the house.

Shaken but desperate for stability, Zoe finds unexpected support from Anthony. He steps in and quietly offers her a place to stay, giving her a lifeline just as the Slaters gather together for a difficult goodbye to Freddie. The emotional atmosphere is thick, layered with regret, frustration, and love — and Zoe’s departure only heightens the sense that the family is fracturing at the seams.

Meanwhile, Anthony has more on his plate than just offering Zoe a bed. After uncovering evidence that deepens his long-held suspicions, he decides to confront Howie head-on. But once they’re face-to-face, the conversation takes a dramatic turn. Howie flips the power dynamic, leaving Anthony unexpectedly off-balance and questioning whether he truly understands the danger he may be stepping into.

Elsewhere in Walford, Anna focuses on the loose ends she needs to tie up before she goes. Determined to leave things in a better place, she tries to reunite Kojo, Gina, and Harry — hoping to restore harmony before her departure. But with so much tension simmering beneath the surface, bringing them back into alignment proves far more complicated than she anticipated.

And finally, Nicola is deeply troubled about Teddy’s decision to plead guilty. She fears the consequences won’t stop with him — she worries the fallout could cast a long shadow over Harry’s future as well. With everything shifting in Walford, her anxiety grows that one choice may unravel more lives than Teddy realises.
