Linda was filled with dread at the thought of hearing from Bernie. The atmosphere in Albert Square was tense as the residents awaited the plea hearing for Dean Wicks, who was being held in custody for the murder of Keanu Taylor. However, as viewers know, Dean was not actually the one responsible for Keanu's death. It was Linda Carter who had stabbed him with a meat thermometer in order to save Sharon Watts from his violent attack.
The group of women involved in the cover-up, known as The Six, had hidden Keanu's body under the cafe floor. But before Keanu's sister Bernie Taylor discovered the truth, The Six had come up with a plan to frame Dean for the murder. Despite Dean's constant protestations of innocence, the women were desperate to make him pay for his previous crimes, including raping Linda and tampering with his own daughter's medication.
In the recent turn of events, Bernie revealed to Linda that she was heading to court for the plea hearing. This was something that Linda did not want to hear. Ever since the incident, Linda had been struggling with immense guilt and had turned to alcohol to cope. She had attended an AA meeting with her best friend Sharon and seemed to be on the path to recovery. However, Bernie's news knocked her back and she fell back into old habits.
As Linda and Sharon attended another AA meeting, Bernie kept Linda updated on the court case. Before heading to court, Bernie questioned Linda about the statement she had given to the police, where she had lied about seeing Dean carrying Keanu's body into the cafe. Linda grew defensive and demanded to know why Bernie was so persistent. Bernie explained that she wanted to see Dean pay for his actions and believed that he deserved to rot in prison forever.
Feeling overwhelmed with guilt, Linda rushed back to the Queen Vic barrel store but managed to resist the temptation to drink. Unfortunately, on her way back from court, she ran into Bernie once again and the news that Dean had pleaded not guilty was too much for her to handle. She turned to alcohol once more, much to the disappointment of her loved ones.
Kathy Beale later informed Sharon that the court case would likely take place in September. As the key witness, Linda would have to face Dean in court and lie about the events of that fateful Christmas night. Will she be able to withstand the pressure? Or will the truth eventually come out? The residents of Albert Square can only wait and see.
