Next week on EastEnders, tensions ignite across Walford as Harry slips back into addiction, crushed beneath the weight of guilt he’s been quietly drowning under ever since Oki’s death. His life, already hanging by threads, is about to break even further as the past claws back with brutal force, pulling him into a relapse he may not be able to return from.

Harry has been spiraling ever since the night he stabbed Oki—an act meant to defend Kojo, yet one that ended a young man’s life and shattered two families. The guilt never left him. It sits in his chest like concrete, pressing harder every day. Though he once intended to walk into the police station and confess everything, Teddy intervened—offering to take the blame to shield Harry. The plan backfired disastrously. Teddy now faces a murder charge, and Harry must live knowing someone else is paying for his crime. The pressure has pushed him past breaking point before—he has already overdosed once, caught just in time by Nicola. But promises mean nothing to a haunted mind.

And now, despite swearing he’d never touch drugs again, Harry finds himself sinking right back in—stealing Nicola’s credit card to score his next hit, trading clarity for numbness like a man who believes suffering is the only punishment he deserves.

Meanwhile, life moves restlessly around him. Anna prepares to leave Walford with Freddy, determined to tie up emotional loose ends before she goes. She reaches out to George, to Kojo, to Gina—trying to mend fractured bonds and bring some warmth back to a family torn open by violence and secrets. Her goodbye isn’t just an exit—it’s a final attempt at healing, a last thread of hope in a community suffocating under unspoken grief.

But Nicola—carrying her own hidden struggle—is unravelling quietly. Pregnant and terrified to reveal it, she watches Harry crumble beneath addiction while knowing Teddy’s guilty plea could easily destroy him completely. She pushes Billy and Honey to keep an eye on him, though Harry slips away—disappearing into the night in search of anything to make the guilt stop burning.

And then—Dejia appears. The sister of the boy Harry killed. She meets him unknowingly, offering a kind invitation to Oki’s memorial—never suspecting she is speaking to the boy who took her brother from her. The audience knows. Harry knows. She does not. The tension is electric. Kojo insists he attends, believing facing the family may be the only way forward. Or the thing that finally breaks him.

Will Harry keep his secret at the memorial?
Or will grief and drugs pry the truth from him—exposing everything?

Next week promises a gut-wrenching storm of heartbreak, addiction, lies, and fractured families. Walford is raw, wounded, and on the edge—and Harry’s relapse may be the spark that burns everything down.
