EastEnders’ Kat Reveals the Truth About Missing Alfie — And She’s Demanding Answers

In a gripping early release on BBC iPlayer this week, EastEnders fans witnessed a dramatic turning point for Kat Slater as she uncovers the real reason behind Alfie Moon’s sudden disappearance—and wastes no time seeking the truth.

The episode opens with Kat growing increasingly uneasy. Alfie had told her he was off to Australia to help his brother, Spencer, but several missed calls and a vague voicemail ring alarm bells. Stacey Slater, Kat’s cousin, tells her she hasn’t heard from Alfie either—but Jean accidentally blurts out that Stacey did take a call from him that very morning sky.com+15thesun.co.uk+15digitalspy.com+15thescottishsun.co.uk+8digitalspy.com+8digitalspy.com+8.

Racing upstairs in a state of fury and confusion, Kat confronts Stacey. “Why did you get that call—but I didn’t?” she demands, her voice thick with betrayal. Stacey insists she didn’t mean to hide anything, but Kat is not satisfied. Determined to get answers, she grabs her phone and starts calling Alfie’s contacts. When her call to Spencer goes straight to voicemail, Kat’s suspicion turns into a sinking certainty: Alfie lied about being in Australia .

From there, Kat’s determination doubles. She storms out of the house, leaving a bewildered Stacey behind, and heads straight to the Square. Pausing only to warn Tommy to behave, she karate-chops across the pavement toward the café, intent on finding Alfie or someone who knows where he actually is. Along the way, snippets of her past betrayals with Alfie flash through her mind—his affair, lies, heartbreaks, and the time he told her she deserved incestuous abuse .

At the café, Kat corners Spencer after overhearing him mention Zoe Slater’s name in passing. “Where is she? Where is Alfie?” she snaps. Spencer looks startled, but doesn’t reveal much—other than that Alfie is not in Australia and has left Walforden.wikipedia.org+15digitalspy.com+15digitalspy.com+15. Instead, he begs Kat to trust that Alfie had a good reason and to call off her search—but Kat refuses. “You lied to me,” she says with tears in her eyes. “Tell me the truth—or I’m finding it myself.”

Meanwhile, messages from Alfie light up the phone screen but are blocked or deleted, leaving only fragments. A torn sticky note in Kat’s bag provides the only clue—a half-erased scribble that mentions Spain and Zoe. Kat’s instincts scream louder: Alfie is on a secret mission, likely following Zoe, not dealing with family abroad.

The emotional impact of this revelation is palpable. Kat’s confusion turns to rage, and then heartbreak. She calls Jean, who assures her Spencer is hiding something, but doesn’t know why. Jean pleads with Kat to wait—but Kat is already out the door again, her mind made up.

Back home, Stacey watches helplessly as Kat continues her hunt, haunted memories flooding back. This isn’t the first time Alfie has lied. This time, Kat wonders, what consequences await?

This iPlayer drop sets up major questions for the coming week:

• What secret is Alfie guarding? Is he searching for Zoe Slater? Covering for Stacey? Or is there an even darker motive?

• How will Kat react when she finds out? Will she feel betrayed again—or will she rally behind Alfie?

• Will Alfie face consequences? If Kat discovers the truth in her own way, will it push her away or bring them closer?

The development also reignites emotional storylines for the Slater and Moon families. Kat’s search mirrors her obsession with the truth, her fear of abandonment, and her strength in standing up to deception. And Alfie’s secrecy hints at a deeper storyline—possibly tied to Zoe’s return or Stacey’s choices thesun.co.uk+6digitalspy.com+6emmerdalesnews.com+6.

With on-screen tensions boiling and off-screen fandom buzzing, this dramatic episode confirms EastEnders is back in full storytelling force—using iPlayer early releases to heighten suspense and reward sharp-eyed viewers with emotional cliffhangers.
