Last week, Jack had viewers gripped as he was stabbed and robbed.
A couple of months ago, Jack learned that his great-niece Tiffany had been groomed and was caught up in delivering drugs for a gang.
Tiffany soon opened up to her uncle and told him she had been raped, and he took her to get checked out for pregnancy and STIs.
Tiffany wanted to keep what happened between her and Jack but when she saw her rapist Fraser was in Walford she froze, causing an argument between her and love interest Keegan.
Tiffany told Jack she had seen Fraser and with Jack’s support she confronted her attacker and told him to leave Walford.
Not long later, when Jack took his children to the swings, he saw Fraser was still there with his gang.
Although he left, the ex-cop confronted the gang member unaware he had a knife on him.
Despite several warnings to “go home”, Jack held his ground and told Fraser to leave the Square and never return…
When Jack cornered the drug dealer in an alleyway and revealed he knew his identity, he shoved Fraser up against the wall.

Fraser seemed genuinely scared, as Jack yelled: “She was a kid and you took that away from her. You come back here I’ll kill you. Do you hear me?”
In a bid to escape, Fraser knifed Jack in the shoulder saying: “I told you this wasn’t going to go how you wanted it to.”
He then crossed a line when he goaded Jack by claiming his niece was “nothing special” and that he would come back for his daughter Amy when she “grows up”.
Letting his anger get the better of him, Jack lost control and repeatedly punched his nemesis in the face and shouted: “How brave are you now, hey? How does it feel?
“Do you know how many blokes I know who would take you apart for fun? Just one call. But why give someone else the pleasure.”
He also threatened to cut off Fraser’s private parts if he ever returns to Walford.
Unfortunately things got even worse for Jack, when Max’s wife Rainie stole Jack’s life savings before kidnapping Abi and leaving the Square in a taxi.

When Jack returned home, Rainie and Mel were shocked to see the state he was in and the incident prompted her to flee.
Rainie wants to start a new life away from Walford and take revenge on Max at the same time, fed up feeling like an outsider.
She used the £75,000 she had stolen from Jack to fund her getaway.
After emptying Jack’s bank account, Rainie hurriedly packed some bags and headed out of the house with Abi before anyone could notice they were gone.
EastEnders is on Mondays and Fridays at 8pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm.
