EastEnders landlord Mick Carter tries to give Ian Beale a big wake-up call over his twisted son Bobby in tense scenes next week.
Fans were left shocked on Friday when Bobby (Elliot Carrington) brutally attacked his stepmum Jane with a hockey stick following another argument at home.
Even Bobby himself is stunned by his own behaviour in the aftermath, so he heads straight over to the Queen Vic to make a full confession to what he's done.
Interrupting Ian's speech at Stacey and Martin's wedding reception, a guilty Bobby causes shockwaves by telling everyone what he did to Jane.
True to form, Ian jumps in to protect his son and escorts him out of the pub - but Mick (Danny Dyer) can't resist getting involved and tries to give his friend a reality check.
As Mick's words hit home, will Ian (Adam Woodyatt) realise that he can't keep protecting Bobby? Or will he decide that he still can't turn his back on his out-of-control son?
