Twisted Joel Marshall (Max Murray) has gained leverage over Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) in EastEnders.
Earlier this week, the lads skived off school to take a trip into The City. On their journey home, Joel demanded Tommy whip out his phone and record something shocking.
He stumbled through the carriage, falling onto a girl and touching her inappropriately.
In the aftermath, Tommy fled the scene, while Joel’s step-mother figure Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) met up with the victim and handed her £2,000 in exchange for her silence.
Her partner Ross (Alex Walkinshaw), Joel’s dad, was furious, but glad that the ordeal seemed to be over. In his absence, Vicki fumed at the teen, ordering him to get his act together as she wouldn’t cover for him in the future.
In tonight’s episode, she became concerned that there could be another threat to Joel’s freedom.
She broached the subject to the lad, asking him if he thought Tommy would have gone to the police to report the incident.
Joel had faith in his mate – despite seemingly being cut off – and asserted that he was just as responsible because he was the one who filmed it.
Tommy sat outside in The Square, panicking about the consequences. Vicki marched over and branded him a ‘wrongen’, and making it clear that if he speaks up, she’ll tell everyone that it was his idea to commit the offence.

Later, he sat alone in the cafe and Joel arrived. He branded Vicki a ‘slapper’, hoping to get on the right side of Tommy again, and said that he was ok with them not hanging out – as long as he realised that the video exists, and therefore they’re equals.
Tommy knew that he’d have to try and win his support back, as it could be dangerous should they fall out.
They made amends, with Tommy deleting the video. Joel requested that he send it to him first, and once received, stated that he now had evidence to incriminate him.
Is Tommy is deep trouble?
