Kat Slater devastated by news from social services as abusive son Tommy twists the knife in EastEnders
Kat has been sent spiralling as the abuse from her son was exposed
EastEnders viewers will watch as a heartbroken Kat Slater is left shocked by her son Tommy Moon in the meeting with social services
As the parent and child abuse storyline continues in EastEnders, viewers are left feeling for Kat Slater as her son Tommy Moon appears distant to his mother.
BBCÂ viewers have watched as Kat is in pieces ahead of the social services meeting about Tommy and continued to blank Stacey and Jean, who she holds responsible after she reported the teenager’s beahviour.
Alfie has begged Stacey to call a truce and tells a fib to get Kat to meet the Slaters at The Vic.
Yet when she arrives, Kat is furious to have been hoodwinked, but Alfie gave an impassioned speech and they reconcile so it appears all is well.
After Kat told Alfie she’s grateful, Freddie picked up on how insane their chemistry is, and Alfie admitted he still has feelings for Kat.
Yet in the next episode, it’s time for the meeting with social services, which Kat has been dreading.
During the social services meeting, Kat is devastated by how cold Tommy is towards her and fears they’ll never get their boy back.
However, the social worker says they can begin to work towards Tommy returning home, and no longer needing to stay next door with James.
In the meeting Alfie tells the social worker that they desperately want Tommy back for Christmas and even manages to get through to their son a little, ending the session on a positive note.
Once back at the flat, a grateful Kat surprises Alfie with a kiss meaning he might not be the only one with old feelings still there.
Tommy’s violent actions have been a rocky time for both Alfie and Kat, with Kat bearing the brunt of the troubled teenager’s outbursts.
Shocked EastEnders viewers watched as Tommy punched his mother in the stomach back in July.
His behaviour has gotten worse in recent weeks, with lashing out at his siblings, leaving poor Kat terrified.
