In a dramatic turn on East Enders, Sonia Fowler changed her plea to guilty during her murder trial, concerned about the toll it was taking on her unborn child. Meanwhile, Bianca, still locked up, devised a plan to take responsibility for Debbie’s murder and vanish forever, hoping to free Sonia. Reyes executed this desperate strategy by smuggling a confession video to a juror, creating chaos in court. However, the jury was instructed to deliberate further.

As tension built, Reyes joined Sonia’s friends at the Vic for a drink ahead of the verdict. Cat became suspicious when she demanded to see the video of Bianca’s confession, convinced of her friend’s innocence. While awaiting the jury’s decision, Debbie’s mother, Brenda, confronted Reyes, expressing her hope that Sonia would be found guilty. Yet, when the verdict was announced, Sonia was declared not guilty, much to Brenda’s dismay and the joy of Reyes and Sonia’s supporters.

Sonia celebrated her freedom with loved ones but remained perplexed about Bianca’s claim of guilt. Cat’s suspicions about Reyes grew after he stumbled over details of the confession video. Later, Sonia expressed gratitude for Bianca’s selflessness, prompting Reyes to admit that the video contained facts only the true killer could know. Determined to get answers, Reyes visited Bianca in lockup and revealed his decision to keep her imprisoned. Declaring his commitment to Sonia and their child, he ominously stated that nothing would come between them. As Bianca faced despair, the question remained: Can Bianca ever escape, and will Cat uncover the truth about Reyes before it’s too late?
