EastEnders’ Sonia finally discovers Bianca’s secret betrayal

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders had a shock in store for Sonia Fowler as she’s found out Bianca Jackson went behind her back with her podcast appearance.

In tonight’s episode, a guilt-ridden Bianca continued hiding Sonia’s phone in order to keep her from discovering the truth.

In previous scenes, Bianca had decided to appear on a podcast hosted by newcomer Charlotte and tell her side of her ordeal with Reiss Colwell.

Bianca kept her podcast interview secret from Sonia knowing her sister was still in a fragile state after Martin’s death.

In new scenes, Bianca asked Sonia to go for a walk, hoping to distract her from her phone and the messages she’d received about the podcast.

“There’s something I need to explain…“ Bianca begun but the sisters’ attention was diverted when they noticed someone had set Martin’s stall on fire.

At the market, Kat Slater urged Bianca to come clean to Sonia.

“You made a mistake,“ Kat said. “She’ll understand.“

Bianca offered to bring Sonia home and make her her favourite hangover cure. Outside their place, they spotted some teens excitedly taking pictures and identifying Sonia as the woman who was involved with “the coma killer“.

Bianca told Sonia to pay them no mind, but she was understandably upset.

“If it weren’t for you and Bex, I don’t know what I would’ve done,“ Sonia told her sister and daughter.

Wanting to help Sonia find her phone, Bex rang her mum, thus revealing Bianca had had the mobile on her the entire time.

“It wasn’t my fault,“ Bianca tried to apologise but some noises from outside the house prompted Sonia to go check what the commotion was about.

Sonia found Kim Fox on her doorstep going live on her social media. When she asked for explanations, Kim said Sonia’s fame was great for her followers and revealed Bianca’s deception.

“Reiss fooled us all, but it’s her who made you look like a right fool with the podcast,“ Kim told Sonia.

“Bianca cashed in, told all and, believe me, you do not come off well in it,“ she continued as Sonia gave her sister a disappointed look.

How will Bianca justify her actions? As both she and Sonia are set to leave Walford soon, it seems like viewers should expect an explosive conclusion to their stories.
