EastEnders goes live!
In a completely live episode as part of the 30th anniversary week celebrations, Ian confronts Jane about Lucy's murder. Peter and Cindy arrive and are stunned as Jane confesses to accidentally killing Lucy in the house then dumping her body. Realising something doesn't add up, the truth dawns on Ian that Jane is covering for Bobby.
Jane explains that Bobby didn't realise Lucy was dead. Intending to take Lucy's body to the hospital, to protect Bobby, she instead took the body to the common.

Cindy finds the letter that Lucy wrote the night she died, that Bobby has been hiding. As Cindy reads out Lucy's heartfelt letter apologising to Ian for her behaviour, Ian, Jane and Cindy are united in their grief.
