Vicki Fowler woke up full of regret in Zack’s bed in Wednesday’s EastEnders (January 28), but there was no time to dwell on her mistake as Joel’s long-awaited court case finally got underway.
She crept back home hoping to avoid questions, only to find Ross waiting anxiously for her. Vicki lied that she had spent the night at Mark’s, and the guilt only deepened when Ross responded with nothing but kindness and support ahead of the difficult day.

On the way to the taxi, Vicki made sure her story was watertight, asking her younger brother to back her up if anyone asked where she’d been. Before Mark could probe any further, Zack appeared, making things even more uncomfortable.
The taxi ride was painfully awkward, with Vicki stuck between Zack and Ross as they attempted polite conversation. At court, Mark and Zack stayed close for support, even though they were barred from the courtroom itself.
With no one else around, Vicki told Zack that what had happened between them couldn’t happen again. He agreed, clearly disappointed but accepting her decision.
