Things take a dramatic turn in EastEnders as Tommy Moon’s secret online connection is finally exposed, leaving his family reeling. After months away, Tommy has returned to the care of his parents, Kat Slater and Alfie Moon, following a period in foster care. His struggles have been evident since his time living with Zack Hudson, and his troubled past remains a source of concern for his family.

This week, Tommy shocks Kat and Alfie by revealing that he has been chatting with an online friend who suggested a support group—one that Zack could benefit from as he continues to cope with Martin Fowler’s tragic death. At first, Kat and Alfie are impressed, believing this new connection has been a positive influence. However, things quickly take a darker turn when Tommy’s attachment to his mysterious online pal begins to raise red flags.

Kat is left shaken when Tommy reacts furiously to her decision to get rid of his computer, cutting off his communication with his virtual friend. His explosive outburst alarms her, making her question just how deep this connection runs. As tensions rise, Alfie encourages Kat to sit down with Tommy and talk things through. They meet at the café, where Kat attempts to bridge the gap between them, hoping to regain some trust.

But just when it seems they are making progress, another incident throws everything into chaos. When Kat comes home from work, she panics to find that Mo Harris has left Tommy alone with his twin brothers. Her obvious distrust leaves Tommy feeling even more isolated, causing him to withdraw completely. In an attempt to make amends, Kat later surprises Tommy with a brand-new gaming console, hoping to rebuild their bond. However, her gesture backfires as Tommy immediately logs on to reconnect with his online friend.

Now more suspicious than ever, Kat grows desperate to uncover the truth. She attempts to sneak a look at Tommy’s messages, but Alfie catches her in the act and insists she talk to their son directly. When Kat finally confronts Tommy, he makes a jaw-dropping confession that leaves her in complete shock.

As the week unfolds, Kat struggles to process what Tommy has revealed. But before she can fully grasp the situation, the news begins to spread. An overheard conversation between Kat and Alfie leads to schoolmates Nugget Gulati and Denzel Dan taunting Tommy, pushing him further into turmoil.

But the burning question remains—who exactly is Tommy’s online friend? And could they pose a serious threat to his safety? With Kat determined to get to the bottom of it, this unsettling mystery is about to shake Walford to its core.

Stay tuned—things are about to get very dark for the Slaters in EastEnders!
