Audiences were treated to an hour-long special which followed the aftermath of the New Year's Day heist.
EastEnders spoilers revealed Mick Carter survived being shot by his son's friend Callum Highway but the soap quickly sinked into a 'time warp.'
Fans couldn't keep up with the speed of the events – especially when time skipped by two days.
It was revealed that New Year's Day was finally over when Mick returned to the pub with his wounded arm in a sling.

He moaned: "I've spent 40 hours in that bed and it's doing my nut in."
His mum Shirley Carter then waltzed in and added: "In case you've forgotten, I took a bullet out of my son two days ago."
But audiences struggled to piece together the timeline of events and took to Twitter while scratching their heads.
One person tweeted: "Hang on... Mick said he was in bed for 40 hours? Did we miss a day?"

“What the hell is happening, did I miss a day?”

"Two days ago? And here I was thinking it was the next day. I thought Mick was kidding when he said he had been in bed for 40 hours," added another.
A third quizzed: "What the hell is happening did I miss a day?"
"How can you skip two days? I'm so confuddled," questioned one.
A fifth slammed: "What was the heist for? Why did they skip like a week? Where is Tanya? Why did they ignore Lauren and Abi for a week? Who is that Irish woman? And where does Mel and her son fit into this?"
Soapland's biggest blunders

It wasn't just the fast-forward that had tongues wagging though.
Callum stuffed a tampon up his nose to stop a nose bleed – and naturally audiences had a lot to say.
Looks like the soap can't catch a break this year.
