The first hour-long episode opened with Stacey Slater, Kush and Martin Fowler, and if the scene looked familiar then because it is, as it was a recreation of the soap's first ever scene.

Soon enough though, it was back to the Lucy Beale murder case, as the Beales struggled to come to terms with the fact someone who was living in the house was probably responsible for Lucy's death.

Denise was an early suspect, as the Beales realised she was also living with them when Lucy died, but by the time the hour was over, the truth had been revealed.

As the drama ensued, Ian told Mick that the killer is "someone we all know", before adding that he doesn't have to find the killer, as they're going to find him.

While Dot's drama raged on, the Beales tought about the case and when Peter confronted Denise, Ian was there to interrupt him, stating that his ex is not the killer.

will Jane tell Ian it was Bobby?

Jane then walked through the door, leaving Ian to say: "Tell me exactly what happened that night."
