Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) was completely rocked when she realised she was standing face to face with her sister’s killer in EastEnders, but has since been left even more horrified after uncovering a painful truth.

Reeling from her conversation with Caroline, who revealed that she had been driving the car that killed Eve’s sister Erica over 30 years ago, Eve headed back home where she came face to face with stressed Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner).

Stacey soon picked up on Eve’s low mood, and it wasn’t long before Eve had opened up about everything she had discovered.

As Caroline continued to ring Eve’s phone, Stacey wondered if it may help her to get answers, and promised to accompany her to a meeting with her sister’s killer.

However, with Stacey preoccupied with preparations for the social worker’s visit, Eve ended up meeting Caroline alone, with devastating consequences.

At first, Eve was understandably stand-offish, as Caroline tried to explain that she had stopped round the corner from where the accident had happened.

Uninterested in the details, Eve wanted to know why Caroline had chosen to crawl out of the woodwork now, and was unsympathetic when Caroline explained that she too needed closure.

When Caroline revealed that, following the moment Erica stepped out in front of the car, both she and Eve had had the same experience, and Erica deserved to be talked about, Eve began to soften.

Soon, she opened up to the killer about her relationship with Erica, and conversation turned to life after her death.

As Caroline explained the steps she’d taken to try and relieve the burden of her guilt having only spent three years in prison, she let slip that she hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol since the night of the accident.

With Erica having been blamed in court for stepping into the road after Caroline failed to come clean about being drunk, Eve was completely shaken, and she demanded to know exactly how much she’d had to drink before getting behind the wheel of the car that would go on to kill her sister.

Caroline emotionally revealed that she had done several vodka and sambuca shots, chalking it up to ‘teenage stuff’ and saying that Eve would understand.

Eve, however, refused to see it that way, pointing out that she had spent the rest of her teens alone in her bedroom while Erica had never even reached her 18th birthday.

Insisting that Caroline hadn’t made a split second decision not to swerve like she’d initially said, Eve lost it as her anger took over, just as Stacey and Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis) arrived to escort her home.

With Eve’s anger bubbling up, she exploded with rage after spotting a picture of her and Erica framed on the work top, trashing the kitchen completely, before dissolving into tears in the corner.

It was at that moment that the social worker knocked on the door, leaving Stacey horrified.

Luckily, Theo and Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) were able to tidy things up in time, and Stacey passed the assessment with flying colours.

However, this didn’t make her feel any better, as she ranted to Theo about Eve’s behaviour.

With Theo having developed an obsession with Stacey, he was put out earlier in the week when Eve’s interference caused Stacey to make it clear that she just wanted to be friends with him.

Seeing an opportunity to get his own back, Theo wondered aloud if it was safe to have someone as volatile as Eve in the house when there was a new baby on the way.

Having thought long and hard about it, Stacey was convinced that he was right, and later ordered Eve out of the house.

As Eve’s life as she knows it crumbles around her, will she continue to spiral? And who will be there to pick up the pieces with Stacey having turned her back?
