Reiss smothered Debbie in the care home to claim her life insurance and fund Sonia’s IVF treatment, believing he had covered his tracks.

But his plan started to unravel when Sonia was arrested for Debbie’s murder.

Sonia's feisty younger sister, Bianca, returned to Walford determined to prove her sister’s innocence, convinced Sonia couldn’t have killed Debbie.

Sensing Reiss’s guilt, she went to great lengths to push him into a confession.

Realising how unpredictable Bianca was and fearing she could expose him, Reiss took drastic action - locking her up in his storage unit alongside Debbie's belongings.

Trapped, Bianca tried everything to escape, even recording a confession to Debbie’s murder as evidence to clear Sonia’s name.

With Sonia found not guilty, she was desperate to see the video confession for herself.

Meanwhile, Reiss remains on edge, knowing he can’t trust Bianca to stay quiet.

As Sonia grows increasingly determined to find her sister, especially after noticing how different she looked in the video, Reiss realises his days of covering up the truth are numbered.

Desperate to keep his secret buried, he visited Bianca in the storage unit with a chilling ultimatum.

Handing her a bottle of pills, he urged her to overdose, insisting it’s the only way out.

Reiss said: "Like I said, I wish it didn't have to come to this. But I've got no option... it's best for Sonia, I'm so sorry."

"There's no other way, you're too much of a loose thread."

But Bianca isn’t one to go down without a fight. Enraged, she hurled the bottle against the wall.

Bianca Jackson EastEnders storylines

Bianca Jackson has been a part of several major EastEnders storylines since her debut over 30 years ago. Here are some of her most memorable.

  • Relationship with Ricky Butcher: Bianca had a long-running romance storyline with Ricky (Sid Owen). Known for her signature "Rickaaaaaaay!", the pair have been married twice and have two children - Liam and Tiffany.
  • Spina bifida: Bianca was used in a storyline depicting Spina bifida - a developmental birth defect which leads to an incompletely formed spinal cord of the baby. She had been pregnant with Ricky's daughter before deciding to terminate the pregnancy after 20 weeks.
  • Paternity revealed: In the 90s, older man David Wicks had started to have feelings for Bianca - only for her mother Carol to drop the bombshell that David is actually her biological father.
  • Whitney's abuse uncovered: When Bianca returned to Albert Square in 2008, among her brood was step-daughter Whitney (Shona McGarty). In a harrowing storyline, Bianca was horrified to learn her fiancé Tony King (Chris Coghill) had been abusing Whitney.

Will she give in to Reiss’ sinister demands, or can she find a way to escape before it’s too late?

Meanwhile, BBC viewers couldn't help but spot a glaring blunder in the tense scene.

As Bianca reached for the bottle of tablets, eagle-eyed fans noticed her perfectly polished nails, complete with a fresh French white tip.

Hardly the look you'd expect from someone who's been held captive in a grimy storage unit since November.

The continuity error didn't go unnoticed, with fans quickly taking to social media to point it out.

Another added: "I literally thought the same thing!"

A third joked: "Debbie's got a nail kit in there I swear."
