A second added: “Scarlett understood Janine in one day. I wonder if she’s going to blackmail her, “one viewer said.

Later in the episode, Mick shares the news that Linda’s brain swelling has decreased and they hope to get her out of a coma the next day.



Janine is then seen telling Scarlett that they are leaving Walford as Linda is ready to come out of the coma.

In a panic, Janine runs home and starts packing, telling Scarlett they have to leave before Linda wakes up and reveals the truth or she’ll be sent to jail.

Fans are speculating on the hasty decision, saying Linda may have amnesia and should stay and see what condition she is in before fleeing Walford.

“You know, Janine, there’s also a chance Linda doesn’t remember what happened before the accident. She at least she could stay to find out.

Elsewhere in the episode, Lewis is distraught when Kathy fires him from the Albert and threatens legal action, despite telling him she knew about the rape.

Ben waits for Lewis at the Arches with a crowbar, but Lewis doesn’t show up.

Ben bursts into the Albert and asks Kathy to give him Lewis’s address. When Kathy refuses, Ben accuses her of protecting Lewis.

Lewis later told Peter that it was Ben who attacked him.
