*Warning: This article contains spoilers for Wednesday 3rd April 2024, which was made available on BBC iPlayer at 6am.*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jack Branning became an official accomplice of The Six in Wednesday\u2019s EastEnders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The BBC One soap has reached a pivotal week<\/a> this Easter as the body of murdered Keanu Taylor<\/a> is unearthed from the bowels of the cafe, but not before former love rivals Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) attempted to retrieve the former\u2019s necklace from the foundations.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, The Six breathed a sigh of relief as Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) returned to Walford<\/a> and killer Linda Carter<\/a> (Kellie Bright) finally recovered the missing murder weapon<\/a> \u2013 her meat thermometer.<\/p>\n

Then the cafe floor crack grew and caved in and it was only a matter of time before Keanu was found, prompting Denise to make plans to flee after she lost her necklace near the body.<\/p>\n

A guilty Stacey aimed to help her and the pair stole the keys to the cafe from its manager and Keanu\u2019s sister, Bernadette Taylor (Clair Norris).<\/p>\n

Just before they prepared to hammer their way into the foundations, Denise and Stacey were caught out by a perplexed Jack who wanted answers.<\/p>\n

Despite Jack threatening to call the police, Stacey tried to lie her way out of what they were doing, but after more questioning from Jack, Denise finally cracked and admitted that it was the body of Keanu Taylor beneath the cafe.<\/p>\n

A shocked Jack collapsed to the floor and asked if Denise killed Keanu but she revealed it was more complicated than that.<\/p>\n

After explaining what had happened and confessing how the guilt and weight of their lies had torn her apart in recent months, Jack felt heartbroken that Denise hadn\u2019t confided in him and he hadn\u2019t been there for her.<\/p>\n

Despite being aware of the risks of being a police officer who could face prison time for knowing, Jack felt compelled to aid Denise in covering her tracks when she revealed how her necklace tied her to the crime scene.<\/p>\n

A frustrated Jack then told Denise and Stacey to leave and revealed he would use his knowledge of how to handle crime scenes to retrieve Denise\u2019s \u2018D\u2019 necklace from the foundations of the cafe for her.<\/p>\n

As the two ladies took their leave, Jack began to open up the floor to complete his work.<\/p>\n

However, as a recently returned Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) accompanied a drunken Bernie to the cafe to retrieve a late-night snack, the stench of Keanu\u2019s remains grew overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Soon, Bernie inspected the large fissure in the floor and let out a scream when realising human remains were now visible.<\/p>\n

As The Six anxiously waited for what was to come, Jack returned home to Denise and Stacey in possession of his wife\u2019s necklace just as police lights and sirens entered the Square.<\/p>\n

Residents of Walford emerged onto Bridge Street as a traumatised Bernie showed police in and revealed to onlookers \u2013 including The Six \u2013 that a body had been found.<\/p>\n

As the week\u2019s episodes end tomorrow, Bernie will find out the heartbreaking truth about the body that has been discovered\u2026<\/p>\n
