EASTENDERS: Who DOESN'T know, that's the question!

How epic was Monday night's EastEnders!

Gasps occurred from our living room as Max jumped the dock, and punched DC Bryant, after being found (wrongly!) guilty for killing Lucy Beale.
It was the first time in a long while that a 'doof doof' genuinely shocked me, and I loved it!

Last night saw Max return to the Square - possibly like a Ninja - as he managed to duck and dive away from many a Walford cop on his route to the Beale's house...
Before I get more into that, I wasn't too surprised that Phil had actually done the dirty on both Jane and Sharon, but paying the foreman off to find poor Ninja Max guilty, instead of not. It's always been about faaaaamily for the Mitchell's, and even though Phil has never been Max's number 1, I think he did this to get any possible leftover-light shone on his son, Ben, who was also arrested for Lucy's murder not-so long ago. Phil also did a good job in scaring Lauren into keeping schtum about Bobby being the killer... So for now no-one else knows.

Well - apart from Ian, Jane, Sharon, Phil, Lauren, Peter, Cindy, Liam - and soon to be convicted Max himself!
Yep, as Max arrived at the Beale's last night, he will on Thursday confront Jane about why she gave him the alibi. Did Jane not think that Max, even if he were found NOT guilty, wouldn't wonder why she admitted to an untrue night-of-passion with him?

Anyhow, Max will correctly guess that Bobby is the killer!
Yep, so that will be nine Albert Square residents knowing the truth (not forgetting that Mick Carter also had a wobble that Ian knew more than he was letting on).
But will Jane admit this to Max, especially as she's now concluded that when Max's is found by the police after his Ninja stint, that it'll be best for him to serve time for a crime he didn't commit.
Let's face it, if Max's right guess is confirmed by Jane, then he'll surely not keep quiet. Would you?

But, he might also find out that his daughter also knew the truth and allowed his trial to continue. That, in Max's eyes would be unforgivable.

As Jake Wood bows out from EastEnders this week, taking a year out, we've been promised that the rest of this week's unmissable episode will lead to him going with a bang - along with daughter Lauren, who will return in the new year - his sister, Carol, who's leaving with her son Robbie, who I'm loving on his return by the way!

The four are said to not be leaving quietly, but how will they go?
