EVE HOSTS A SUKI SHOWDOWN AND IT COSTS THE SLATERS A HOME? | EASTENDERS SPOILERS

Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) returned to 31 Albert Square, exhausted, after spending time with Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) at a nearby Children's medical facility.  The worried mother revealed Tommy has broken his ankle as well as damaged the sprain further.

Visibly, Kat was annoyed with Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) who were sympathetic towards Tommy's condition however, Kat still blames the two women for the predicament Tommy is in.

Trying to make things right, Jean suggested they throw Tommy a massive "Get Well Soon" party when he is discharged but Kat firmly told Jean that no amount of cake or ice cream will make up for the fact Tommy's *footballing career might be over.

When Kat left to go and sort something over at Phil's house, Stacey told Jean she was up half the night looking for somewhere to live since Suki Kaur Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) wants The Slaters out of her property.  Not only that, Stacey is worried when her Probation Officer starts sniffing around, she might end up back in prison because Jean sent Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) - Stacey's wife - away.

Later, Stacy headed over to 5 Albert Square to speak with Kheerat Panesar (Jaz Deol) and immediately started to flirt.  Stacey told Kheerat she would like to resolve all the bad blood between The Slaters & The Panesars and hopes Kheerat could talk to Suki about the eviction, putting in a good word for the troubled family.

Kheerat told Stacey he would love to help but his hands are tied.  Stacey then told Kheerat she was wanting to get some stability back in her kids' lives.  Feeling generous, Kheerat soon gave in and told Stacey he would have a word with Suki.

It's clear there's still some sexual tension between Stacey & Kheerat.

Taking a phone call from Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty), Stacey let herself out of The Panesars' flat and rushed off to the cafe where she came face-to-face with an intoxicated Eve who was having a go at Suki.

Trying to calm the situation down, Stacey attempted to get Eve back home but Suki reminded her that it won't be The Slaters' home but Eve let the alcohol get the better (or worse) of her and told Suki that her children would probably rather die than have a mother like her.  Suki then told Stacey that Eve was a liability.

Suki left the cafe then Stacey turned to Eve asking what she was playing at also wondering where she had been.  Eve was too drunk to give any coherent answers.

Back at 31 Albert Square after sorting a minor - off-screen - incident, Kat was apologised to by Jean for Tommy's injuries but coming round Kat realised Tommy would probably have got injured eventually because of his obsession with playing football.

The front door goes again and in comes Stacey with Eve in toe.  As Eve plunked herself on the sofa, Stacey asked Kat & Jean for help in sobering Eve up because the Probation Officer would be arriving soon.

Being plied with water, Eve is told to wise up by Stacey because if Probation senses anything wrong then it's likely she & Eve will be back serving time at Her Majesty's pleasure.  Jean looked rather disgusted with the situation.

It was a busy day for the front door at 31 Albert Square because when Eve tried to sober up, drinking water in the kitchen, the doorbell rang.  As Stacey answered the bell, she pleaded with Jean to maintain a cover story.

Stacey left the kitchen to answer the door then Eve told Jean she had brought too much trouble into her life and to go right ahead to tell the Probation Officer everything.

In comes the Probation Officer and upstands Eve who turns to throw up into the kitchen sink.

Jean gave Eve a chance and made up a story about how her Chicken Surprise meal may have needed longer to cook in the oven - suggesting Eve was suffering from suspected food poisoning.

It was thanks to Jean the liaison with Eve's Probation Officer went smoothly.  And episodes of Garden Rescue.  The Probation Officer assessed that married life is good for Eve then left them to it.

Just when you think 31 Albert Square's front door saw enough action for one episode, EastEnders managed to squeeze in one more use before the Doof Doof.  In comes Suki (with Kheerat) who Eve believes is there for round 2.

Kheerat stood up to Eve, Stacey & Jean and said he didn't appreciate Suki being insulted in public by Stacey's drunk wife.

Trying to defuse the situation, Stacey told Suki that Eve was sorry but Eve said she wasn't.  Furthermore, Eve went on to brand Suki a bully and she doesn't like bullies.

Attempting to get the upper hand over The Slaters, Suki pointed out she saw Eve's Probation Officer leave and she might want to tell her about Eve going AWOL.  Jean stepped in and said Eve had been there all the time.

Suki immediately pointed out that with Eve living there, The Slaters had broken the tenancy agreement and wanted the whole lot out by the end of the week.  Jean said they have until Christmas but Suki explained "not anymore".

EastEnders continues tomorrow, at 19:40, on BBC One.
