Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) works out a way to bring Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis) down in EastEnders soon – but it comes with a lot of risks.
Former school teacher Theo has spent months stalking Stacey after finding her account on a subscription-only website.
Within Theo’s disturbing mindset, he believes he’s meant to be in a relationship with Stacey – and this is what she uses during a chat with the evil man in the lead up to his plea hearing.
Coming up, Stacey is still reeling at Theo’s attempts to make contact before court.
After initially refusing to meet up with him, Stacey changes her mind following comments from Lily (Lillia Turner).
At the meet, Stacey tries to manipulate Theo into pleading guilty by promising to restart their so-called ‘relationship’ once he’s served his time.
However, when Theo reacts badly to the suggestion, Stacey wonders if she’s made the situation a whole lot worse.
Later in the week, after the hearing, Stacey gets drunk and tearfully opens up to Jack (Scott Maslen) about how scared she is of Theo.
Jack takes Stacey back to Number 27 to sober up where Sam (Kim Medcalf), who is temporarily living there, tells Jack about her dislike of the Slaters.
Once alone, Jack is shocked when Stacey admits that she planted the wrench on Theo to cover up Freddie’s (Bobby Brazier) actions and make it look as though Theo tried to attack her.
But what will Jack do with this information?
Will he report it to the police, or keep quiet for Stacey’s sake?
