Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) has made clear his intention to get rid of Craig Ingram (Matthew James Bailey) for good in EastEnders, as the search for Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) intensifies following her disappearance with the predator.
Amy and Craig made a quick getaway yesterday after convincing Max Branning (Jake Wood) to sign the paperwork granting Amy access to her trust fund. The pair came clean about their relationship to secure the signature, and Max later revealed the truth to Jack.
Jack calls in police reinforcements
In tonight's episode, Jack enlisted police help in the search for Amy while trying to keep her disappearance a secret from Denise Fox (Diane Parish). However, getting Amy home safely was not his only concern.
Jack made it clear to Max that even if Craig ended up behind bars, he would still have a hold over Amy and she would spend years pining for him. In a dark twist, Jack asserted that the only way to help Amy would be to get rid of Craig for good.
Denise learns the truth
Spoilers for Wednesday, October 28 reveal that despite the family's efforts to keep her in the dark, Denise senses that something is wrong. While Max continues searching for Amy, Darnell decides to tell Denise that Amy is missing, forcing Jack to come clean.
Meanwhile, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) opens up to Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) about Zoe's funeral and the person she believes left her daughter to die, leaving Cindy guilt-ridden. Back on the Square, the Slaters prepare for the funeral.
Zoe's funeral and Halloween preparations
Kat eventually arrives for Zoe's funeral and, not wanting to delay things further, demands proceedings continue. In an intimate ceremony, Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness) and Josh Goodwin (Joshua Vaughan) deliver their eulogy before Kat pays tribute to her daughter.
At The Vic, residents share memories of Zoe as Max arrives, looking for Lee Carter (Danny Hatchard). Cindy lashes out at Max and, as they argue, Lee arrives. Elsewhere, despite Kojo Asare's (Dayo Koleosho) dislike for Jodie Hawkins (Anna Constable), the pair begin to grow closer as preparations for Halloween continue.
