As it turns out, Jasmine has been behind Zoe’s recent stalker torment… but she wasn’t acting alone.

No, she’s working for none other than Chrissie, who appears to have some pretty sinister plans for poor Zoe.

But what’s Chrissie’s game? Is Jasmine having second thoughts? And what do they have in store for Zoe?

Kat searched for Zoe’s stalker

As Christmas Eve dawned on Walford, Kat remained concerned for Zoe. Armed with the news that Sam has been back in the UK for months now, she’d grown convinced that she was behind Zoe’s recent stalker torment.

Meanwhile, Zoe tried to make conversation with downcast secret daughter Jasmine, who was in a bit of a mood after Monday’s conversation. After making amends with a surprisingly chipper Jean, Zoe headed out on a Christmas shopping trip.

With Zoe out of the picture, Kat was shocked to find Sam sneaking around the back of The Vic. Sam denied having anything to do with stalking Zoe, revealing that she’s got cancer and has no time to be sending menacing Christmas cards or graffiti’ing pub doors.

But if not Sam (and it’s certainly not Jean either), then who is stalking Zoe?

That evening, as Kat and Alfie headed out to Yolande’s carol service, Zoe remained home alone. Upstairs, she found a Christmas card addressed to her.

Far from another threatening message, this one seemed to be from her son – including her Ibiza keychain as proof – and he wanted to arrange a meeting.

Meanwhile, Jasmine snuck off from the carol service to meet with a mystery figure. As a flashback showed her carrying out each threat against Zoe, Jasmine climbed into the passenger seat of a nearby car.

And who was waiting for her? None other than Chrissie Watts – the architect of all Zoe’s pain thus far.
