Shocked by her mother Debra's (Ruth Gemmell) frantic return, EastEnders' Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) is forced to go along with her lockdown of Pat's house through fear of Debra's mystery assailant.

Having bolted the doors and barricaded themselves inside with furniture, a bruised Debra cowers while Whitney continues to be puzzled as to who she's running from.

The pair soon hear noises at the front door, and as an unidentified man forces his way into the property, Whitney and Debra take shelter in the cupboard under the stairs.

Who is he? And will he find them?


EastEnders airs tonight at 8pm on BBC One.
