Isaac Baptiste is full of fear as his dad Patrick Trueman tries to get through to him in Tuesday's episode of EastEnders (7:30 pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Isaac Baptiste has locked himself inside Martin Fowler and Ruby Fowler's house as his mental health deteriorates. As well as locking them out of their own house, he's also told kids Lily Slater and Arthur Fowler to get out of Albert Square. With the children now missing, Martin and Ruby are in a panic.

Talking to Isaac through the door, his dad Patrick Trueman manages to calm him down enough to convince him to let him come in and talks to him. Once inside, Patrick gently asks Isaac about Lily and Arthur, pointing out that Martin and Ruby are worried about them.

She is flooded with relief when Lily gives her a call and tells her that she and Arthur are in the allotments. The children may be safe, but what will happen to Isaac?
