EastEnders is heading straight into psychological horror territory next week as a twisted revenge plot unleashes life-changing consequences for Ravi Gulati — and the fallout could devastate multiple families across Walford.
The Mitchells have never been known for forgiveness, but Nicola Mitchell’s latest move proves she’s prepared to cross a line few ever dare to. Still burning with rage over Harry Mitchell’s kidnapping, downward spiral into addiction, and the brutal murder of Oki — all tied to Ravi’s criminal empire — Nicola decides revenge isn’t enough. She wants Ravi broken.
At Harry’s barn, Nicola quietly spikes Ravi’s drink with a dangerous cocktail of drugs. This isn’t impulsive. It’s calculated, cold, and terrifyingly deliberate. As the substances begin to take hold, Nicola watches and waits. This is no longer about justice — it’s psychological warfare.
Harry, already fragile after rehab and consumed by unresolved trauma, spots Ravi on the Square laughing and playing happy families. To him, the sight is unbearable. Ravi appears untouched by the destruction he left behind, while Harry’s father Teddy remains behind bars. Blinded by fury, Harry is ready to attack in broad daylight — until Nicola physically stops him. A public assault would only land Harry in prison. They want Ravi to suffer far more than that.
When Ravi stumbles out, visibly disoriented, Harry strikes. Like a predator, he lures Ravi into the Arches and locks him inside a garage surrounded by heavy tools and industrial equipment. It’s a chilling setup straight out of a horror film. But fate intervenes when Billy Mitchell wanders in, oblivious to what’s unfolding. Unknowingly, he pulls Harry away — leaving Ravi alone in the dark.
That’s when the true nightmare begins.
The drugs fully kick in, plunging Ravi into intense hallucinations. He’s not just confused — he’s terrified. Shadows morph into threats. Familiar spaces twist into hostile traps. Ravi claws his way out and flees into the night, but his grip on reality is gone. A hallucinating man loose on the Square becomes a ticking time bomb.
Meanwhile, Priya senses something is deeply wrong. She rallies Vinny and Nugget to search for Ravi, unaware they’re walking straight into danger. When they finally find him, Ravi doesn’t see family — he sees monsters. Acting in panic and self-defence, Ravi lashes out, and EastEnders spoilers warn he does something he will regret forever.
The implication is horrifying: Ravi may seriously hurt someone he loves — possibly Nugget himself.
If that happens, Ravi’s life will be irreversibly changed. The guilt alone could destroy him. This isn’t just another mistake; it’s a tragedy in the making. The Mitchells wanted revenge, but even they may not have anticipated blood on their hands.
Running parallel to Ravi’s breakdown is Harry Mitchell’s continued descent. Returning to Walford should have marked a turning point after rehab, but instead it exposes how deeply damaged he still is. He pushes Gina away, rejects stability, and becomes fixated on revenge. Even Phil’s attempts at guidance are misinterpreted as encouragement, showing just how warped Harry’s thinking has become.
Nicola witnesses Harry on the brink of jumping Ravi again, realizing with horror that her plan may have unleashed something uncontrollable. As the drugs wear off and the consequences emerge, the question remains: who will pay the ultimate price?
One thing is certain — EastEnders is about to deliver one of its darkest, most emotionally devastating storylines in years.
