Kat Slater’s (Jessie Wallace) worst fears come true in EastEnders next week
as she finds herself panicked over son Tommy’s (Sonny Kendall) presence around his younger twin brothers, Bert and Ernie.
Despite Tommy’s recent progress, his troubled past continues to weigh heavily on Kat’s mind, leading to tension within the family.
Tommy’s Past Still Haunts Kat
Last year, Tommy’s struggle with his emotions led to a deeply unsettling period for the Slaters.
His violent outbursts often resulted in harm toward his loved ones, including Kat, Alfie (Shane Richie), and his younger brothers.
These incidents became so serious that Kat ultimately made the painful decision to send Tommy to live with Zack Hudson (James Farrar), a registered foster carer, in hopes of helping him manage his anger.
Since then, Tommy has been making progress, but despite his efforts, Kat can’t shake her anxiety. The thought of history repeating itself lingers in her mind, and next week, her fears resurface in full force when she discovers that Tommy has been left alone with Bert and Ernie.
A Mother’s Worry Resurfaces
As the week unfolds, Kat begins to reflect on her relationship with Tommy following a comment from Mo Harris (Laila Morse). Mo’s words plant a seed of doubt in Kat’s mind, making her reconsider whether she has truly forgiven Tommy for the past.
Hoping to rebuild their bond, Kat invites Tommy to the café for a heartfelt conversation. She acknowledges the issues they’ve had but wants to move forward together as a family. The chat appears to go well, and for a moment, it seems like they’re making progress.
However, any sense of peace is shattered when Kat returns home to a shocking discovery—Mo has left Tommy alone with Bert and Ernie.
Kat Panics Over the Twins’ Safety
The sight of Tommy alone with his younger brothers immediately sends Kat into panic mode. Her instincts kick in, and fear takes over as memories of his past violent episodes flash through her mind. Though there is no indication that Tommy has done anything wrong, Kat’s reaction makes it clear that she still harbors deep concerns about his ability to control his temper.
Tommy immediately picks up on her unease. Realizing that his mother doesn’t fully trust him, he withdraws emotionally, shutting down completely. After working so hard to regain a sense of normality, Kat’s reaction hits him hard, leaving him feeling alienated once again.
Kat Tries to Make Amends
Once the initial panic settles, Kat recognizes that she may have overreacted. She knows that Tommy has been making strides to improve and that her immediate distrust has hurt him deeply. Wanting to make it up to him, she surprises Tommy with a new games console, hoping it will serve as a peace offering.
Tommy is thrilled with the gift and wastes no time booting it up to chat with a mysterious online friend he has recently been talking to. However, while Tommy sees this as an escape, Kat’s concerns are far from over.
A New Concern Arises
As the week progresses, Kat becomes increasingly uneasy about Tommy’s online interactions. She starts questioning who he is speaking to and whether this friend is a good influence on him. Her concern grows to the point where she even attempts to read his messages, but before she can find anything, Tommy confronts her.
Rather than letting their relationship take another hit, Kat decides to handle the situation differently. She sits Tommy down for another conversation, urging him to be honest with her about his new friend. This time, Tommy opens up—but what he reveals leaves Kat completely stunned.
Is Tommy in Danger?
While the details of Tommy’s online friend remain unclear, one thing is certain—Kat’s worry is justified. Whether this new companion is a genuine friend or someone with a more sinister agenda is yet to be seen. But with Tommy’s past struggles and his vulnerability, Kat has every reason to be cautious.
Could Tommy be getting caught up in something dangerous? And will Kat be able to protect him before it’s too late?
With emotions running high and trust still fragile, the Slater family faces another major test. EastEnders fans won’t want to miss what happens next as Kat’s fears continue to grow, leading to a shocking turn of events in Albert Square.
