EastEnders airs Joel Marshall's latest shocking act in BBC iPlayer cliffhanger

When Joel's dad Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) found indecent images and footage of women on the lad's laptop, he destroyed it.

Ross told his partner Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) what had happened and she was horrified, while Joel headed to The Queen Vic and apologised to Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) for his vile words towards her.

Kat and Alfie (Shane Richie) eventually agreed to allow Joel to keep hanging out with Tommy (Sonny Kendall).

Meanwhile, Ross had a chat with Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman), who shared that his son Aaron (Charlie Wernham) was in prison for far-right extremism.

When Harvey explained that he wished he had been a better father when Aaron was younger, it gave Ross pause for thought.

At the pub, Vicki had drinks with Kat and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) as they discussed how toxic entitled men could be.

But when an overhearing Joel made suggestive comments in return, Vicki called him out.

When Tommy innocently recounted Stacey's experience being stalked via her SecretCam account, Joel used the information to try and publicly shame Stacey.

Although Stacey refused to let Joel upset her, Joel kept pushing and even used derogatory terms about her daughter Lily (Lillia Turner)!

This led to Stacey slapping Joel, just as Ross walked in and stopped him from hitting back.

Ross took Joel out of the pub and, rather than reprimanding him, handed him a new laptop, saying he was a good lad and urging Joel to speak to him if he was tempted to look at any more harmful content against women.

But when Joel looked up Stacey's SecretCam account with a devious smile on his face, it was clear that Ross had just made a huge mistake.

Next week, Stacey's SecretCam photos and videos are leaked, and Stacey suspects Joel, though he denies it.

Will Joel be caught out?
