EastEnders fans felt for Whitney Dean on Tuesday night, as she struggled with life post-prison.
She couldn't feel safe in her own home, after learning her stalker Leo King was spying on her for days ahead of their deadly final showdown.
Whitney was arrested and held in prison for killing Leo last month, when in fact he became impaled on a knife as he tried to murder her.
Her lawyer Gray Atkins managed to get Whitney released on bail after weeks of torment, after finding a hole in Whitney's ceiling.
As he entered the attic he discovered knives, pictures of Whitney and things belonging to Leo - proving he had been stalking her.
Whitney returned home on the BBC soap this week, but her horror was far from over.
As she returned home alone to relax, she found the hole in the ceiling which instantly left her overcome with fear.
After throwing up in the bathroom, a terrified Whitney could barely move when someone began banging on the door.
It was Gray with news about her looming trial, with him also checking up on her.
Gray tried to help by suggesting she wasn't alone, as he informed her the trial would be nine weeks away.
But Whitney soon broke down, asking Gray to tell her how he could possibly know how she was feeling.
She confessed she couldn't feel safe in her own home or even her own bed, because of Leo's ordeal towards her.
Whitney then hugged Gray as she burst into tears, seeking comfort with Gray not sure how to react.
Viewers watching at home shared their sympathy with Whitney and her recent torment, hoping she would be okay.
One fan said: "Think it's going to take ages for Whitney to get back to the usual Whitney..."
Another tweeted: "Whitney is petrified bless her."
EastEnders airs Mondays at 8pm and Tuesdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
