In tonight's episode of EastEnders, a dramatic twist sees Cindy Beale exposed for hiding Jasmine's phone, which could be key to proving her innocence. Jasmine recently pleaded guilty to Anthony's murder, leaving Zoe Slater devastated and convinced of her friend's innocence.
Zoe learns from her son Josh that he called Jasmine a month ago, but someone else answered and hung up. Since Jasmine didn't have her phone at that time, it suggests another person has been in possession of it. Max Branning overhears this and confronts Cindy, who admits she kept the phone instead of destroying it out of guilt.
Max gives Cindy an ultimatum: hand over the phone or he will reveal her secret. Later, Cindy attempts to dispose of the phone by slipping it into a sofa at the Vic, but Oscar Branning accidentally knocks it from her hand. Kat spots the phone and confronts Cindy, leaving her exposed.
The revelation raises questions about whether the phone contains evidence that could clear Jasmine's name. Zoe has already informed the police about the new lead, hoping it will finally bring justice.
