That's it...
We know that Bobby Beale killed his sister, Lucy.
I haven't blogged since Wednesday, when I was sticking to my theory about Peter having caused Lucy to die, without realising it, and Jane covering for her step-son.
I still think my theory would've been heart-wrenching and true - and when Bobby was revealed, I felt a little heart-sunk at first, if I'm honest.
That changed after Friday's episode. The fully live one.
The performances by Laurie Brett and Adam Woodyatt were stunning and you would have been forgiven to have forgotten that it was live.
As the episode unravelled, it became clear why Jane had gone to such lengths and left Lucy on Walford Common. She knew, from what Bobby had told her, that he attacked Lucy without being provoked - hence Emma's 'it's still murder' line.
Yes he's a child, but he wanted to cause his sister harm. He wanted to stop her from upsetting people and he would have been punished, imprisoned, if Jane had called the police.
The way that the EE story team have decided that Bobby is unaware he killed his sister has given light to a new storyline for way in the future, Way, way in the future... EastEnders 40th, anyone?!
People have questioned about whether Bobby would buy Jane's story that Lucy went out and was killed by someone else. Of course he would, children believe their parents every word. And Jane took him away very soon after, shielding and protecting him. Maybe even telling him to never mention the fact that he hit his sister?
It's also a nice touch how Peter will leave the Square now, after promising to never forgive his family. Peter said himself that he will 'kill him' [Bobby, that is] so he definitely couldn't ever reunite with his younger sibling.
But will he be able to stay quiet? Surely Lauren will want to know what he discovered? And Mick Carter... Ian told him that he knew who had killed Lucy, before finding out the real truth.

It's also been revealed that an innocent party will be arrested for Lucy's murder in the not too distant future, so this story is far from over.
Will Jane and Ian really be able to keep quiet for their son?
Jane, yes.
Ian - I'm not so sure...
In other news...

| She's alive! ALIVE! |
I can't tell you the squealing that came from my sofa as Kathy Beale stepped out of that cab to meet Phil.
'It's Grant, he's back...' I laughed just moments before. Talk about a jaw-dropper.
So many questions - where's she been? Did Phil find out about this during his time in prison? Was it Witness Protection? Or did Phil know all along?
More importantly, where does this leave the Roscoe boys, in Hollyoaks?!
Dominic Treadwell-Collins has sad that Kathy's coming home, for good, so these questions will surely all be answered (well apart from the Roscoe/Hollyoaks one - unless it WAS witness protection and Sandy was Kathy's cover!!)
I can't wait to see how her return affects Ben, Ian and Phil and Sharon's marriage.
Peggy's line about 'how this will affect Sharon', makes complete sense, now.
Elsewhere, poor Dot's had herself locked up for killing Nick, as we knew would happen. Poor Kush didn't know what to do, and I loved the sense of protection and community as everyone involved in finding Nick's body (apart from Martin and Kush!) agreed to keep quiet, and dispose of Nick, for Dot's sake.
I also loved the connection between Stacey and Martin. New couple alert!
And with Kim having given birth to baby Pearl (nice touch, Enders... Pearl - 30 years) and newcomer Vincent looking on, is he the dad? And just where does he know Ronnie from? There must be a romantic link following their kiss in the flashback ep, which would have put him in the right place to meet Kim before they scurried off on their cruise ship...
Then there's Dean Wicks.
Mick ain't killed him, even if a body does show up in a burnt out car. And if it is Dean's body, my bet is someone else done it...
Would there really be another murder, so soon?
Hmm, well... It is Walford!
What did you think of last week's special episodes?
