The following article contains spoilers from an episode of EastEnders that hasn’t aired on BBC One yet, but is available to view on BBC iPlayer.
Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) resorted to desperate measures again in tonight’s episode of EastEnders, and has potentially killed Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer).
Bianca has known in her mind for ages that Reiss killed Debbie and not Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy), but with multiple people believing he’s innocent, she’s faced a frustrating waiting game.
After a discovery about some CCTV footage, Bianca was incredibly determined to get the truth out of Reiss in tonight’s episode. Playing on his guilt and Sonia being behind bars, Bianca shouted at the troubled man and eventually, he confessed.
Utterly horrified, Bianca ran through to the kitchen and attempted to call the police.
Reiss, however, wasn’t going to have his secret exposed to everyone that quickly. He managed to cause Bianca’s phone to drop to the floor, giving him the perfect chance to smash it with his tuba case.
As the evening ticked on, Reiss revealed that he still had access to the pillow used to smother Debbie. He told Bianca that if she gave it to the police, Sonia would be released from prison fairly quickly, given his fingerprints would be all over the item.
With that, Reiss put forward an idea to Bianca – she’d collect the pillow, go to the police, bring Sonia home, and Reiss would go on the run.
The two characters then arrived outside Reiss’ storage unit. Heading inside, Bianca was taken aback by everything inside and more specifically, the soundproofing on the walls.
Reiss revealed he installed it so people can’t hear him playing the tuba, but it then became apparent he had worked out a more sinister use for it as well.
Once Reiss revealed the pillow they went in search for wasn’t actually in the unit, Bianca grew fearful.
Pulling out the candlestick that was hidden in her jacket, Bianca watched as Reiss shut the door and grabbed a blanket and a metal object.
The episode ended with Reiss lifting the blanket up and Bianca screaming.
Does this mean he has killed again?
