In this intense episode of *EastEnders*, Bernie receives life-shattering news that will change everything

she thought she knew. It starts when Miss Tyler approaches Bernie with grave information about her

brother, Keanu. The police have run fingerprint matches on a body found, and it’s confirmed to be

Keanu. Bernie, in shock, denies it at first, refusing to believe that her brother could be dead. Her world spirals as the reality sinks in, and she knows she must tell her mother.

But breaking the news is not so simple. Sharon, who has been supporting Bernie, suggests waiting until they have more information from the police. Sharon’s insistence that Bernie hold off telling her mother raises suspicion with Felix, who questions Sharon’s motives. He wonders why she’s delaying, but Bernie defends Sharon, believing she’s only trying to protect her. Still, the pressure builds, and Bernie is torn between telling her mother the devastating news or waiting for more details.

As Bernie grapples with this turmoil, new evidence comes to light, linking Sharon to Keanu’s death. The police reveal that Sharon had both motive and opportunity, especially since Keanu had been planning to leave Walford with her son, Albie. This revelation puts Sharon in the spotlight, and she is arrested on suspicion of Keanu’s murder. Sharon pleads with Bernie, insisting she’s innocent and that she could never harm Keanu. Bernie is conflicted, her emotions in turmoil as she tries to process the accusation against someone she once trusted.

Meanwhile, Bernie is haunted by the question of what really happened to her brother. She starts to doubt everything and everyone around her, including Sharon. Felix’s words echo in her mind, and Bernie begins to wonder if Sharon had been manipulating her all along. As the police continue their investigation, Bernie’s trust in Sharon crumbles, and she starts to believe that Sharon may have had a hand in Keanu’s death after all.

Bernie confronts Sharon in a heated exchange, accusing her of betrayal and murder. Sharon, desperate and heartbroken, denies the accusations, begging Bernie to believe that she’s innocent. But Bernie’s mind is made up—her brother is dead, and she needs someone to blame. Sharon’s pleas fall on deaf ears as Bernie declares that Sharon will pay for what she’s done.

In the final moments of the episode, Bernie, filled with rage and grief, vows to uncover the truth. She’s determined to get justice for Keanu, no matter the cost. However, as the pieces of the puzzle start to come together, Bernie realizes that Sharon may not be the only one hiding secrets. Someone else knows what really happened to Keanu, and Bernie won’t rest until she gets to the bottom of it.

Tune in next week as the drama unfolds, and Bernie faces the shocking truth about her brother’s death, uncovering secrets that could tear her family apart. *EastEnders* promises even more explosive revelations in the episodes to come.
