EastEnders has made a big change to Oscar Branning’s attack plot, and it seems that his secret has finally been exposed.

Oscar was responsible for Patrick’s attack earlier this month, though only Lauren and Howie know the truth about what really happened

While Lauren has tried to protect her little brother, Howie used this knowledge to his advantage and blackmailed Oscar into giving him the stolen money.

This week, Howie wasn’t happy to see Oscar striking up a friendship with Patrick and he confronted him – but Jack spotted this tense chat and grew suspicious.

This week, Howie wasn’t happy to see Oscar striking up a friendship with Patrick and he confronted him – but Jack spotted this tense chat and grew suspicious.

The sudden commotion was frightening for Patrick, who is still recovering from his ordeal, and he suffered a panic attack in response.

As Yolande, Denise and Kim rushed to Patrick’s side, Jack was more desperate than ever to get to the truth about Oscar and Howie’s feud – but they both kept quiet.

Jack later told Lauren about the mysterious fight, so she tried to give him context for her brother’s erratic behaviour by admitting that Oscar had been sleeping with a knife and accidentally threatened Peter recently.

With this new knowledge, Jack confronted Oscar and said that Lauren had told him everything. But Oscar got the wrong end of the stick and mentioned Patrick, not realising that Jack was oblivious to this until now.

Oscar reeled, having accidentally confessed to hurting Patrick. What will Jack do next?
