A troubling incident involving Sylvie sets alarm bells ringing in EastEnders.

Following dementia sufferer Sylvie Carter's upsetting revelation from the past, daughter Tina continues to struggle with the responsibility of looking after her, and this week a worrying incident brings things to a head.

With no one else to look after Sylvie, Tina is forced to take her to work with her at Kathy Beale's cafe, where things don't go well.
