Chaos in Walford: Drugs, Betrayals, and a Missing Child Nightmare Rock EastEnders

Next week on EastEnders, the drama reaches an explosive boiling point as Ravi’s criminal underworld schemes begin to unravel, Johnny and Callum blur lines they swore never to cross, and Peter and Lauren face every parent’s worst nightmare—losing their children.

It’s a week where trust shatters, secrets explode, and no one is safe in Walford.

Ravi’s Risky Play Turns Toxic

With Bernie gone and the Panesar empire in financial crisis, Ravi dives headfirst into a dangerous plan to secure quick money. Reaching out to Nicola for a drug connection, Ravi is warned—but he doesn’t care. For him, impressing Avani on her 16th birthday and saving face in front of his family takes priority.

But things spiral fast.

After stashing drugs in his car, Ravi leaves it with Harry at The Arches. When the police show up, Ravi narrowly avoids disaster by hiding the vehicle. But when Harry and Kojo discover the stash, panic sets in—and the entire garage becomes a ticking time bomb.

Harry and Kojo’s Dilemma

Young and loyal, Harry is desperate to prove himself, but Ravi’s secret drags him into a world he’s not prepared for. The drugs in the boot spark a furious debate between him and Kojo—who wants nothing to do with the mess.

To make matters worse, Phil discovers Ravi’s car in the garage. When the stash goes missing, tensions explode. Did someone steal the drugs? Is it gone for good—or will it come back to haunt them?

Kojo later admits to Harry that he knows more than he let on. But can he really protect his friend from Ravi’s wrath?

Johnny and Callum: Forbidden Passion Reignites

Meanwhile, Callum’s one-time kiss with Johnny Carter spirals into something far more intense. Cindy lashes out at Callum for driving Felix out of town, but Callum insists it meant nothing. Except, it did.

Callum and Johnny kiss again—and this time, they wake up together. But guilt haunts Callum. He’s still married to Ben, and this new relationship threatens to burn his entire world to the ground.

Will Callum fight his feelings, or is he ready to risk everything for Johnny?

Peter and Lauren’s Shattered Family

Elsewhere, Peter and Lauren’s reunion begins to unravel just as it began. Peter tries to bond with their son Jimmy, especially after learning of Jimmy’s blindness. Inspired by Jay, Peter attempts to learn guitar to comfort Jimmy—and for a moment, things seem hopeful.

But Lauren’s kiss with Zack is exposed after Cindy grows suspicious. At a picnic meant to comfort their son, Lauren is forced to admit the truth. Peter’s anger is explosive—and it sets off a chain reaction.

A Parent’s Worst Nightmare

The fallout is instant. Peter lashes out, confronting Zack and landing a punch. But in the midst of the chaos, the couple makes a horrifying discovery—Louie and Jimmy are missing.

What started as a heated argument becomes a full-blown crisis. Did the kids wander off—or is something darker at play?

Cindy’s Warpath & Elaine’s Rescue

While Cindy digs deeper into Lauren’s past and tears into Callum for his betrayal, Elaine proves once again why she’s the true heart of Walford. With The Albert understaffed, Freddie scrambles to pull together a last-minute event. Elaine steps in—proving she still has the spirit, even after her heart attack.

But Anna returns from Spain furious at being kept in the dark about The Vic and George’s divorce. As Elaine pushes herself to the limit, the entire Knight family must confront how far she should really go to hold everything together.

Ravi’s Wrath & Avani’s Party

As Ravi learns the stash is missing, his fury threatens to erupt. Meanwhile, Suki tries to convince him to scale back Avani’s birthday celebration—but Ravi won’t hear of it. Instead, Harry offers his barn for the party as a peace offering.

The party is a hit, and for a brief moment, everyone breathes. But under the surface, danger still lurks. With Okie and Ravi both demanding answers, someone will pay for the lost drugs.

What’s Next?

EastEnders is entering one of its most volatile periods yet. Ravi’s criminal web is tightening, and with Harry, Kojo, and even Phil dangerously close to the edge, the fallout will be catastrophic.

Peter and Lauren’s relationship is on the rocks—and now their kids are missing. Will they be found? Or will this tragic twist destroy them for good?

Johnny and Callum’s forbidden love may be impossible to hide much longer, and Elaine’s health could worsen as she continues to carry the weight of The Vic.

Every storyline is primed for heartbreak, betrayal, or a bombshell twist—and as always in Walford, no one leaves unscathed.
