Next week in EastEnders, Walford is pushed to breaking point as revenge plots, emotional goodbyes, and dangerous consequences collide.
The biggest threat comes from Harry, who is consumed by rage toward Ravi Gulati. Urged to wait by Nicola, Harry snaps when he sees Ravi playing happy families. Nicola steps in with a far colder plan — drugging Ravi’s drink and setting events in motion that spiral out of control. Although Harry is forced to abandon his plan, a drugged Ravi is left alone and vulnerable, triggering a terrifying sequence where hallucinations take over. As Ravi lashes out at imagined threats, the fear is real: someone innocent could be seriously hurt.
Meanwhile, Phil Mitchell and Julie face an agonising reality as they take Nigel to a care home. Pressured to make an immediate decision, they pull him out when he becomes distressed. Later, Nigel’s quiet wish to visit the beach breaks hearts — and forces Julie into a painful choice. She prepares to go to Scotland to sell the family home to fund his care.
Elsewhere, Linda Carter is pushed to confront her past. Nervous about a school reunion, she attends with Honey posing as a former pupil — only to run into the real “Be”. Old accusations surface, exposing an uncomfortable truth about Linda’s teenage years. Shaken, Linda flees the reunion, accidentally taking Be’s handbag — a mistake that leads her to reflect and later attempt a heartfelt apology.
Health fears also come to the fore as Sam opens up to Alfie about her upcoming lumpectomy. With her brothers failing to step up, Sam leans on her ex for support — a revelation that leaves viewers frustrated and worried.
Adding lighter chaos, Kathy and Ian discover Elaine has launched a rival breakfast deal, igniting a petty but inevitable food feud. Meanwhile, Max vows to change — again — leaving residents unconvinced, and Gina begins playing matchmaker after spotting sparks between Penny and Vinnie.
With revenge turning deadly, families breaking apart, and old wounds reopening, Walford proves once again that peace never lasts long.
