EastEnders\u2019 Jasmine Fisher is arrested for murder next week, after Kat Moon betrays her by making an unholy alliance with dangerous Chrissie Watts. Will this be enough to secure Zoe Slater\u2019s freedom<\/a> after her weeks of misery behind bars?<\/p>\n

Finally fed up with Jasmine\u2019s games, Kat resorts to ruthless tactics by luring her deceitful granddaughter back to Walford under false pretences.<\/p>\n

Jasmine reckons she\u2019ll be safe as Kat has always looked out for her, but she gets more than she bargained for when the police swoop in to make her pay for killing Anthony<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

“Jasmine\u2019s arrest sends shockwaves around the Square,” says our Walford insider. “It\u2019s clear that everyone\u2019s been looking in the wrong direction when searching for answers over Anthony\u2019s brutal death.<\/p>\n

“Poor Patrick doesn\u2019t know what to think as the horrendous truth dawns on him, while Oscar\u2019s also stunned to realise that he may have fallen for an unstable killer…”<\/p>\n

The chaos unfolds on the day of Anthony\u2019s funeral, as Kat tracks Jasmine down following a lead from her unlikely ally Chrissie<\/a>, who\u2019s back in Walford. Cunning Kat encourages Jasmine to come back and support Patrick as he faces this sad family occasion.<\/p>\n

When Oscar heads upstairs at The Vic, he stumbles across what\u2019s really going on \u2013 Chrissie and Jake are waiting for Kat<\/a> to bring Jasmine to them. Sure enough, Jasmine falls for Kat\u2019s ruse and soon finds herself cornered by Chrissie\u2026<\/p>\n

“You\u2019ll have to wait and see how that showdown turns out, but Jasmine soon reacts true to form by disappearing,” explains our source.<\/p>\n

“Kat fears that she\u2019s done a runner yet again but is gobsmacked when Jasmine returns with the murder weapon. Jasmine suggests there\u2019s one way out of this mess which could work out for all the Slaters \u2013 framing Chrissie for her crime.”<\/p>\n

Sadly for Jasmine, her latest wild plan fails to come to fruition, as the police subsequently arrive to arrest her. Just before she\u2019s hauled off to face questioning, Jasmine begs her baffled boyfriend Oscar to find some evidence to help her case.<\/p>\n

The next day, protective mum Zoe is horrified when news of Jasmine\u2019s arrest reaches her. Patrick also struggles to process the fact that Jasmine is now the prime suspect \u2013 has she been playing him for a fool the whole time?<\/p>\n

“Even after Jasmine\u2019s arrest, there are plenty of unanswered questions,” teases our insider. “Kat, Patrick and Oscar will all have to decide whether it\u2019s time to cut ties with her after so many lies.<\/p>\n

“And of course, the Slaters will be on tenterhooks to find out whether wrongly-accused Zoe can finally come home<\/a>\u2026”<\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/p>\n
