EastEnders has aired a shocking knife twist in Tommy Moon's bullying story.
The schoolboy has been tormented by older boys for protecting half-sister Scarlett, with even intervention from Phil Mitchell not being enough to run off the bullies.
Thursday's (March 24) episode saw Tommy's anxiety building up once again as he watched the video of Sid antagonising him. Events started to spiral out of control once teacher Isaac Baptiste broke up the latest scuffle in the playground.

With Isaac's warning about the situation on her mind, Kat turned to Ben to help her sort the on-going gun situation. Over at the school, Tommy realised he'd been lured into a trap by agreeing to a kickabout with one of the bullies.
Tommy loaded up his backpack with a knife and tried to use it to scare off the bullies. As Tommy turned to walk away, Sid took a cheap shot in attacking him.
Tommy threw the backpack at Sid, with the knife jabbing the bully in his shoulder. One of the other boys had been filming the whole incident as Tommy ran away.

The next time Tommy was shown, he was cautious as he arrived home. The boy tried to cover things up as Kat asked him once again about the bullying.
"If there's anything you ever want to tell me, I'm here," she encouraged him.
A worried Tommy apologised to his mum, though Kat assured him he had nothing to be sorry for. The episode left off with Tommy keeping his dark secret hidden for now…
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
