EastEnders' Eve Unwin violently attacks Caz to avenge sister's death

Erica had been blamed in court for being drunk when she stepped out into the road, and Eve was incensed that this had earned Caz a shorter prison sentence at the time.

Although Caz wanted to make amends, Eve went on the rampage - and thanks to manipulative stalker Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis), Eve was kicked out by Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner).

Tonight, Eve's ex-lover Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) found her sleeping on the bench in Albert Square gardens, and she took Eve for a coffee. Broken, Eve explained what she hadn't been able to tell Stacey before - that Caz had been drunk when she knocked Erica down.

Eve and Suki headed to the police station, where Eve gave a detective the new information about Erica's death. But she was frustrated to hear that Caz had served her time, and that there was nothing to be done.

Furious, Eve took things out on Suki and told her: "Walk away. It's what you're good at." Eve then headed to The Albert to get drunk, but Suki urged Stacey to help her look for Eve.

Although creepy Theo had lied that he saw Eve laughing that morning, Stace joined Suki - but by the time they got to the bar, Eve had met up with Caz again.

As Eve nursed a bottle of vodka, she led Caz down an alley and attacked her. Suki, Stacey and Theo found her trying to strangle Caz, fuelled with unresolved anger over Erica's untimely death.

Putting a stop to Eve's actions, Stacey took Caz back to her house, while Suki looked after Eve.

Theo, meanwhile, sneakily urged Caz to report Eve to the police, which Suki overheard. It was up to Stacey to talk Caz out of it as she revealed just how much she needed Eve around, and Caz later returned to speak to Eve.

She asked Eve to recount her life story, and Eve coldly confirmed how lonely she had been after losing Erica and being kicked out by her parents.

Although Caz was clearly looking for something more reassuring, Eve instructed her to leave and never come back. With Stacey welcoming Eve back into the family, can she move on with her life?
