EastEnders aired a surprising twist encounter in the final scenes to show Zoe Slater alive.
Since returning home, Zoe brought the owner to the Vic's doorstep, ending in violence towards bystander Zack Hudson (James Farrar) - who Zoe later clashed with - and a frustrated Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) needing to bail out her daughter once more
Upstairs in the Vic, the pair did make amends, and Kat showed her love for Zoe, who affirmed her love for the mum she hasn't always had the best relationship with.
Meanwhile, following the disastrous wedding of Max Branning (Jake Wood) and Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), the newlyweds had a showdown after Max recovered from cardiac arrest and the bride learned Max had been cheating on her with Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) during their engagement and prior to Max ending their short-lived marriage.
After exposing Max and drenching Priya in a drink, who then each fled, Cindy broke down but was comforted by former rival bride Kim and danced with the wedding party to Michael Kiwanuka's Cold Little Heart, made famous by the TV drama series Big Little Lies.
Outside, Max was reunited with the woman he really loves - and who loves him back - Linda Carter (Kellie Bright). Despite what happened, the two got passionate and snuck into the Vic barrel store.

Zoe asked for Max's help, but thinking she was drunk, Max refused and left, slamming the door behind him.
Hauntingly, the camera panned from outside her room as we heard her struggle and call for Kat.
At Peacock's Palace, Linda asked her mum, Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe), if she had made the right call by being with Max, and while Elaine didn't give her blessing, she did make clear that she supported anything that made Linda happy and helped her find love after losing Mick Carter (Danny Dyer).
