Albert Square was in chaos after Billy Mitchell (played by Perry Fenwick) and his wife Honey (Emma Barton) realised that their daughter Janet (child actor Grace), who has Down's syndrome, was missing following a session of trick or treating.
As Tina Carter (Luisa Bradshaw-White) confided in her sister Shirley (Linda Henry) about her horrific ordeal at the cash and carry, events started to spiral out of control.
The episode's final moments saw the Walford residents finally finding the child lying in the middle of the road, as Honey let out a deafening scream before watching her daughter get carried away in an ambulance.
Horrified that Janet might be dead, viewers took to Twitter to express their feelings.
