Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) has made a cruel attempt at ruining cousin Kat’s (Jessie Wallace) ‘hag do’ in EastEnders – as a last-ditch attempt is made to salvage their relationship.
As viewers of the BBC One soap saw earlier this week, an emotional Jean lashed out upon realising that Kat had teamed up with her ex-partner Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) for a new business venture.
The deal came just weeks after his affair with Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) was exposed, something which mortified her.
Rushing away from Walford to spend time with Mo Harris (Laila Morse) and Fat Elvis, Kat was left to pick up the pieces in the Slater household.
Harvey was offered a lucrative purchase – a limousine that could be used for wedding photoshoots. He couldn’t afford it, but the seller thought up a cunning scheme to get his cash.
Kat signed on the dotted line, unaware of the other bidder being Harvey. She was furious, but alongside partner Alfie (Shane Richie), decided they should capitalise on the mishap by getting him to fork out for the publicity.
Alfie had an even better plan. He got down on one knee, and proposed. They could have a proper reception, and not have to pay for half of it!
As they celebrated in The Vic, and with Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) quickly arranging a joint stag and hen do, Jean strolled in and assumed that they were all happy to see her return.
But that wasn’t the case. She felt excluded from the wedding, and was enraged to hear that Harvey was Kat’s business partner.
Dealing a slap, she told Kat that she was more than welcome to adopt the Moon moniker once again, as she was no longer a Slater.
In tonight’s episode, damage control began.
Alfie urges Kat to put things right, but when she headed to speak with Jean, a huge argument broke out. Kat said that it was Jean’s fault that Harvey strayed, and she needed to stop wallowing in self pity.
With the hag do in full swing, and everyone donning leopard print, floral shirts and leather jackets, someone snuck into the corridor at Harry’s Barn. It was Jean.

She jabbed away at the fire alarm, attempting to shut down the bash, before rushing off.
Kat followed, urging her to attend the wedding and to put everything to one side. It seemed that their dynamic would never be the same again.
However, in a shock twist, when Kat got home, Jean was there. She realised that they couldn’t go on fighting any longer, and as much as it would pain her to see Harvey at the wedding, she would be in attendance.
Hurrah!
With everything seemingly back to normal, Kat logged onto the computer and was gobsmacked to find a porn website open – and a payment confirmation… blissfully unaware that her son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) was responsible.
