Walford darkens as Zoe Slater’s shooting truth nears eruption, with Jack Branning and Ravi Gulati tangled in the chaos.

Next week, despite police assurances it wasn’t a targeted attack, Zoe remains deeply traumatised by the shooting.

But behind closed doors, a dangerous secret is simmering, and Jack is starting to buckle under the weight of his guilt.

After leaving the hospital, Zoe returns to the Slaters and is warmly welcomed, but her trauma lingers. Overwhelmed and fearful for her safety, she flees the house and heads to the café, where things soon take an even darker turn.

At the café, Vicki Fowler angrily confronts Zoe, demanding answers about her past and connection with her father, Den Watts.

The argument intensifies until Kathy Cotton and Anthony Trueman step in, forced to intervene and diffuse the row.

But Vicki’s not done, she follows Zoe to The Albert and the confrontation continues in front of stunned punters.

At The Vic, Zoe tries to relax with the Slaters, but panics after learning Freddie and Mo shared her ordeal online.

Things worsen when Zoe discovers a local newspaper has published her story, potentially exposing her and putting her at serious risk.

Rattled, Zoe leaves quietly and places a phone call to someone from her past, but who is it?

Kat and Anthony try to reassure Zoe, but she remains convinced she’s putting her family in danger. She packs her bags to leave Walford for good, but Stacey intervenes at the last moment, desperately begging her to stay.

After Zoe admits her violent clash with Greg and fears he’s dead, Stacey insists they must find answers.

Jack crumbles under the pressure, consumed by overwhelming anxiety about what happened that night.

Denise, desperate to protect her family, warns Ravi that the truth is on the verge of being exposed.

As Zoe spirals and considers leaving for good, the true story behind her shooting may finally start to surface.

Will Jack come clean and face the consequences? Will Ravi try to silence the truth? And will Zoe finally learn who’s responsible?
