EastEnders‘ Stacey Slater will be caught out by Jack Branning next week, when she pays Denise Fox a secret visit.
Denise was sectioned last month, after experiencing psychosis in the wake of Keanu’s Christmas Day murder and coverup.
Denise’s breakdown gave Stacey and Jack a wakeup call in regards to the affair they were having behind her back, and they decided to part ways.
Despite this, they will be thrown together again next week as Lily and Ricky celebrate Mother’s Day at Walford East.
Amy and Ricky beg Jack to let them see Denise, and he promises to speak to Chelsea to try to make it happen.
With Denise still refusing to see anyone, Johnny Carter insists that Stacey needs to get to her before Jack or the kids do in order to protect their secret.
Johnny piles on the pressure for Stacey, who eventually manages to convince Denise to let her visit.
At the hospital, Denise tells Stacey she’s no longer seeing visions of Keanu, but intends to stay in hospital until she is fully recovered.
Stacey tries to convince Denise that she should be back with her family, just as Jack walks in and demands to know why Stacey is there.
Stacey is then forced to think on her feet to give Jack a convincing cover story as to why she’s with Denise.
Jack is left even more hurt and confused when Denise turns him away.
During a talk with Dr Abe afterwards, Denise explains that she feels safe in the hospital and wants to stay there for the time being.
Back at home. Jack becomes increasingly rattled by Stacey and Denise’s closeness and starts to do some digging. What will he find?
