Secrets never stay buried in Walford — and this week, they’re threatening to crack the very foundation of several families. From The Six’s deadly cover-up to Bernie’s quiet rebellion, every move made on Albert Square now carries the weight of total destruction.

Denise is barely holding it together. As one of The Six who helped cover up Keanu’s murder, she’s consumed by paranoia. Felix and Johnny’s budding romance brings unexpected complications — especially since Johnny was involved in the cover-up, and Bernie, who knows the truth, remains unpredictable. If Bernie turns on them, everything unravels.

Meanwhile, Bernie’s name shows up on suspicious invoices while Vicki investigates the Panesars’ accounts. When Ravi and Suki confront her, it’s clear Bernie’s resentment is boiling over. Is she planning revenge? The answer might reshape the entire Panesar empire.

Elsewhere, Patrick’s 85th birthday party is anything but calm. Yolande’s efforts are undermined by Linda’s stress and Elaine’s outbursts. George tries to help, but his presence reignites old wounds. In a parallel disaster, Denzel’s movie night at No. 20 turns into a nightmare. Joel sneaks alcohol into the house, and Raymond and the twins end up drunk — triggering a chaotic hospital run and blowing up tensions between Linda and Elaine. With George’s legal claim hanging over The Vic, Elaine’s every mistake is amplified — and the balance of power shifts once again.

And in a rare moment of hope, Teddy gives Barney his blessing to explore a relationship with Zack. Amid the chaos, it’s a small win — but even that’s threatened by past trauma and current friction.

Walford is spiraling fast, and with every secret exposed, another bomb is primed to go off.
