Tensions Rise Over Avani

Joel and Ravi’s relationship has been fraught ever since Ravi discovered that Joel had slept with Avani. Matters worsened when Joel tried to intervene after Avani’s recent termination, unaware of the wider consequences.

Now, Joel finds himself tangled in Ravi’s illegal activities, which include a phone-stealing operation run by Ravi and his associates, Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) and Okie.

Joel’s Desperate Scheme

On Monday’s episode, Joel is determined to get money for tickets to see a misogynistic influencer he follows online. His father, Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw), refuses to help, so Joel seeks a job from Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt)—but Ian turns him down.

Opportunity strikes when Harry approaches Joel to wipe stolen phones. Unbeknownst to Joel, this task places him directly in Ravi’s crosshairs.

A Dangerous Consequence

Ravi becomes suspicious when he learns that Joel has been paid to wipe the phones, fearing the teenage boy may have uncovered sensitive information. Joel even enlists his friend Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) to help, only for Tommy to stumble upon Kat Moon’s (Jessie Wallace) phone.

The voicemail Joel accidentally hears contains critical information about Kat’s husband Alfie Moon’s (Shane Richie) recent contact with his daughter Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), raising the stakes and threatening to escalate tensions further.

What’s Next?

Joel’s small scheme could have far-reaching consequences, not just for himself but for those around him. Fans can expect intense confrontations, secret revelations, and a clash that might push both Joel and Ravi to dangerous limits.
