EastEnders spoilers follow.

Jean Slater has got her revenge on Ruby Allen as her daughter Stacey makes her on-screen return to EastEnders.

This week's episodes have seen Martin Fowler discover the role his wife Ruby played in making false allegations to land rival Stacey in prison.

Thursday's episode (September 16) saw Martin go so far as to visit Stacey in prison to explain that he now knew the treachery Ruby had been involved in.

While Martin admitted he'd been wrong to side with Ruby in turning Stacey in, he also explained how much trauma his wife had been going through recently with her endometriosis diagnosis.

"It's me, Stace. All of this is my fault," he insisted.

His pleas fell on deaf ears once Stacey found out Jean was also being investigated for drugs charges at that very minute.

"You [sort it out], or I swear I will kill Ruby Allen with my bare hands," she angrily warned.

Elsewhere in Albert Square, a solicitor had got in touch with Jean to question her. The lawyer assumed she must have been working with a drug dealer to get so much cannabis.

As viewers will remember, Big Mo actually gifted the weed to a reluctant Jean when she left Walford in a hurry earlier in the year.

Jean was facing more and more pressure under questioning from the solicitor, especially once she was warned she'd only walk free if she gave up her contact.

In a shocking move, Jean lied to the solicitor by falsely implicating Ruby as the person who supplied her with the cannabis.

Can Jean go through with the false allegations?

EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
