In the latest episode of EastEnders, Bernie Taylor has finally opened her eyes to the true intentions of Dean Wicks. This article contains spoilers for tonight's episode, which is yet to be aired on TV but is already available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
After the shocking revelation last week that Bernie had sided with Dean in order to convince Linda Carter to drop her statement against him, she is now realizing that it may have been a grave mistake.
It all started with the murder of Keanu Taylor last Christmas, with Linda framing Dean for the crime with the help of The Six. Stacey Slater planted the murder weapon in his flat and Linda went to the police with a false statement, claiming to have seen Dean carrying Keanu's body into the cafe.
As the pressure mounts and Dean's trial draws nearer, he is doing everything in his power to prevent Linda from taking the stand. He even went as far as getting his associate Fraser to blackmail Linda by offering her a deal - withdraw her statement and he will confess to raping her in 2014.
Bernie, being the loyal friend that she is, has been doing Dean's dirty work. She even sent poison pen letters to Linda, causing her to be distracted and eventually leading to her drinking before her pre-trial hearing. This resulted in a disaster as the prosecutor refused to let her take the stand.
Despite her doubts, Bernie continued to follow Dean's orders, sending Linda texts to further distract her. But as she began to have doubts about Dean's innocence, she pointed out to him that Linda hadn't lied about the rape and couldn't be sure that he was telling the truth now.
But Dean didn't care about Bernie's guilt, making it clear that he had been using her all along. Poor Bernie was left horrified by his callousness.
Despite Bernie's realization, it may be too late for Linda as she finds herself in a life-threatening situation in the upcoming episodes. As paramedics rush to the Square, the question remains - will they get there in time?
