Here's everything you need to know.

EastEnders recap: Dean's deal

With Dean's trial coming up, he's getting desperate. The murder of Keanu is weighing heavily on everyone's mind, but especially Linda. Linda is set to go on trial and testify in Dean's case and an associate of Dean came up to Linda with a very shocking offer.

As we all know, Linda is actually the one responsible for Keanu's death as she was the one who killed him on Christmas Day. She's been using alcohol to cope with her crimes since the incident. As Linda took herself to her room to calm down, she was interrupted by Fraser, who is Dean's contact.

Fraser told Linda that if she changed her false statement about seeing Dean moving Keanu's body, then Dean would confess to raping her 10 years ago. Fraser insisted he knew Dean was innocent despite Linda professing that Dean is the one responsible for Keanu's death. Luckily, while Fraser was trying to intimidate Linda, her mother Elaine walked in and threw him out.

Johnny assured Linda that there was no way to know if Dean would stick to the deal. But will Linda turn up to court intoxicated and confess everything? Or will Linda stick to her story and send an evil Dean behind bars once and for all?

Reiss vs. Phil

Reiss is feeling immense pressure from Phil as he is trying to reclaim the embezzled funds. He's also feeling the pressure from the investigation into the death of his wife, Debbie. Sonia has finally learned the truth about Reiss's criminal embezzlement and lies. Reiss's reasoning is due to the cost it took to take care of Debbie. Will Sonia ever forgive Reiss?

Suki's ex-husband returns

Suki's ex-husband Nish has unexpectedly returned to Walford with Ayesha, the widow of the man he was convicted of murdering. Nish has a darker reason for returning and that is to disturb Suki's relationship with her girlfriend Eve. Nish attempted to sow the seeds by telling Ayesha about Suki's past in an attempt to create tension between Suki and Eve. However, Eve had other ideas and decided to propose to Suki. Will Suki say yes?

Walford drama continues

Cindy is attempting to make Junior jealous by getting closer to Harry. It worked and Cindy had a passionate and steamy reunion with Junior. We also saw Freddie attempting to cheer his grandmother Mo up after her partner Stevie's departure.

The only person Freddie encountered upon his attempt to find Stevie was his son, Teddy. Does Teddy know more than he's letting on? With Cindy about to take the stand and Suki's ex causing mayhem, we can only wonder what EastEnders has in store for its fans. Let's hope we get even more drama!
