Jane's Secret Reunion: Masood Returns to EastEnders!
As the Beales woke up at Jane's Cotswolds cottage, Ian grappled with the fallout from his heated words to Cindy. She, still fuming, confided in Kathy that Ian had threatened to end their relationship.
Jane urged Ian to fight for Cindy, revealing that it had been two years since Cindy contacted Ian with the news that she was alive. However, with Cindy causing him constant stress, Ian found himself drawn to Jane. His suspicions about her relationship status were confirmed when he discovered a discarded silver chain on her mantelpiece.
A tense moment arose when Ian attempted to kiss Jane, only to be rejected. The day took a heartwarming turn as Peter convinced Bobby to give Jane a chance. In an emotional scene, Bobby confessed to Jane his feelings of self-hate for his actions, particularly the attack on her during his childhood and his involvement in Lucy's death.
Jane reassured Bobby that he was still her son and she loved him, urging him to forgive himself if he couldn't forgive her role in covering up Lucy's death. They shared a hug, symbolizing their reconnection, and Jane gifted Bobby a bracelet engraved with a scripture from his Islamic faith.
When Bobby questioned Jane's knowledge of the passage, she replied that it was a story for another time. He, happy to have reconnected with Jane, expressed a desire to see her again.
As Peter, Ian, and Bobby prepared to return to Walford, Jane and Peter shared an awkward but warm farewell, wishing each other happiness.
Back in Walford, Ian confessed his indiscretion to Cindy. While she eventually agreed to forgive him, she couldn't help but eye up recent fling Junior Knight as he chatted with Lauren Branning.
The episode's biggest twist arrived as Jane took a phone call, declaring that her guests had gone, avoiding any awkward reunions. Clutching the silver chain, Jane addressed the mystery caller as "Masood," adding that Bobby loved his birthday gift.
The revelation: Jane and Masood Ahmed are back together! Jane appeared happy with her current situation, although it remains unclear whether the smile on her face is due to the reconciliation with Bobby or the return of Masood.
Masood hasn't been seen on EastEnders since 2019 when he moved to Australia to be with his son Tamwar. He had a brief romance with Kathy before leaving and dated Jane on and off during their time in Albert Square. This development begs the question: will we see Masood back on our screens soon?
