Hollyoaks spoilers follow from Monday's episode (28 July), which is available to watch now on Channel 4 Streaming but hasn't yet aired on E4.
Hollyoaks killer Jez Blake looks set to get away with his crimes yet again – as Tony Hutchinson wrongly blames himself for Bobby Costello's death.
The worrying twist plays out in Monday's episode, as the villagers learn that Bobby's body has been found.
As the aftermath begins, Jez plants a flower at the allotment in memory of Bobby. Disturbing scenes last week saw Mercedes McQueen's 15-year-old son become Jez's latest victim, bringing Bobby's brief return stint to an explosive end.
Shortly after Jez's quiet moment of reflection, Donny Clark informs Mercedes that a body matching Bobby's description has been found.

What to Read Next
Mercedes is asked to identify the body, so Tony joins her in support as she carries out the grim task.
While Tony tries to comfort Mercedes through her grief, it slowly dawns on him that he was at the scene of the crime.
As the police believe that the teen was killed in a hit and run, Tony realises that the incident took place close to where he was driving around looking for Bobby last week.
Tony remembers a moment where the car seemed to hit a pothole, which he now looks back on in a new light. He then finds damage on his vehicle, which points to a collision.
Viewers know that Tony appeared to hit Bobby's body in the road while driving frantically, but the youngster was already dead.

Unable to live with his guilt, Tony turns to his on-off partner Diane to privately confess all…
"Last night I went out. I'd seen Bobby in the village and I just wanted to find him. I know I said I wanted to hurt him, but I'd never have done it," he explains.
"I just wanted to find him and take him back to the police. I was driving, maybe I wasn't paying attention. I saw this random taxi and I wasn't looking.
"I thought I hit a pothole. I could have sworn it was a pothole, but it couldn't have been. Now he's dead and I don't understand how. I killed Bobby…"
Tony's meltdown would surely be music to Jez's ears – is he about to escape justice once again?
