Jean had recently made a bold decision that would have a major impact on the Slater family. She had reported her adopted son, Tommy Moon's, concerning behavior to social services in EastEnders. This week, Alfie, Tommy's adoptive father, returned from Birmingham and was shocked to learn that Kat, his wife, had been in hiding after being injured by their son. After trying to cover it up, Kat finally came clean about what Tommy had done to her. Alfie was furious and decided to confront Tommy at the Boxing Den, addressing the worrying pattern of his behavior that needed to be addressed.
Later, the family was preparing to host dinner for Freddie, but an argument over a bottle of ketchup quickly turned into a violent outburst from Tommy. He destroyed the living room and pushed his parents, causing them to fall over. Jean watched on with concern as her grandson's behavior escalated. To make matters worse, Tommy grabbed a pot of scalding hot soup and poured it over Freddie's arm, resulting in him needing to spend the night in the emergency department.
In the next episode, Kat was lying on the sofa surrounded by the aftermath of Tommy's outburst. She was reluctant to talk to Alfie about their son's behavior, not wanting to admit just how bad it had become. Meanwhile, Freddie sat down with the rest of the Slater clan and recounted the events of the previous night that had landed him in the hospital. Kat was forced to admit the truth, but she couldn't help but defend her son. When asked about Tommy's triggers, she suggested that learning about his abusive biological father, Michael Moon, may have played a role in his behavior.
The situation with Tommy reminded Jean of her own son, Sean, who also had a history of violence. Long-time viewers may remember Sean's backstory, which was explored when he first arrived in 2006. It was revealed that as a teenager, he had discovered his father's double life and in a fit of rage, punched him, causing a brain hemorrhage that ultimately led to his father's death.
In tonight's episode, Jean hoped that she could help change Tommy's ways by having a heart-to-heart talk with him. However, things took a turn for the worse when she witnessed him attacking his younger brother Ernie and noticed bruises on his arm. After discussing her concerns with her partner Harvey, Jean made the difficult decision to call social services for help. Will this intervention be enough to put Tommy on a better path?
