This article contains mentions of a sexual assault that some readers may find distressing.
The BBC One soap has been airing the return of Zoe to Walford this week as she was reunited with estranged mother Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) before being accidentally shot by Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) as they struggled over a gun.
In the cliffhanger to the episode, a mysterious caller to Zoe's phone was threatened by Kat, who believed it to be someone wanting to hurt Zoe.
In Thursday's episode, penned by veteran scribe Simon Ashdown, fresh revelations came to light via further flashbacks to earlier this year.
Max revealed that his ex-wife, Tanya Cross (Jo Joyner), had been trying to call him as she was looking after their granddaughter, Abi Branning Jr.
Following this, the pair were shown to have slept together, and while in bed, Zoe revealed what happened with her twins and how she is now trying to track down her son with a private investigator, but is struggling to find him without any money.
Stacey also revealed to Jean that she hadn't wanted to return to the Square before Zoe returned, and was keen to get away from Walford and escape the memories. Could this be paving the way for Stacey's upcoming exit from the soap?
A further flashback then revealed that a necklace had been Max’s present to Zoe at a time she needed to pay a former neighbour of her son's foster parents, and Max suggested she pawn the necklace for the PI, but Zoe refused. Max then offered to pay for the information to help her; if he can’t get Bradley back, she could get her son back.
As the flashbacks continued, Zoe was driven by Max to the neighbour of her son’s foster parents in a rundown neighbourhood, but wanted to go in alone. Zoe entered the flat of the source, Greg Dolan (Dean Williamson), and handed over the money.
In the present day, Zoe was revealed to still be unconscious to an anxious Kat, but had stabilised, and it was unknown when she would wake up.
Max refused to be Zoe's getaway driver and accomplice when she revealed what had happened, and so she abandoned him in his car and walked off, angrily calling him a "bunk-up" and a "blank cheque". Zoe was then shown calling Stacey for help, which is where we found her when she first made her comeback.
Once left alone to recover more, Zoe then called Max herself, asking for the necklace as she now wants to pawn it. Max then asked Zoe if she was back in Walford, as he had heard Stacey on her phone earlier.
What will happen next? Questions still remain, including when we will see Max back in Walford and who the father of Zoe's son is, but one thing is for sure: drama awaits.
