Nugget zones out for a moment during his first driving lesson with Ravi. Shortly afterwards, Ravi meets a new contact as part of his police informant work and is shocked to discover that it’s Mark, who unsettles him by asking questions.

 

 

Meanwhile, Jake Moon visits Zoe in prison. He explains that he split from Chrissie due to her revenge plan, but wants to know what happened at Christmas. Zoe shares her version of events and asks Jake for his help to prove her innocence. Jake refuses, so Kat and Vicki team up and hope to find him.

Elsewhere, Callum worries that Phil is feeling the strain.

Also today, Suki fires Honey and Bea, while Linda fears that Ollie is being bullied again.

Next week on EastEnders, Linda leans in for a kiss with Max, Jake reunites with Alfie, and Nugget suffers a seizure. For more on these plots, here’s our round-up of the biggest moments set to unfold on Albert Square.

While learning to drive with Ravi, Nugget suffers a worrying incident in which he briefly zones out.

Afterwards, Ravi provides Jack with an update on his informant work, before explaining that he’s meeting a new contact today, who turns out to be Mark. Ravi is rattled by Mark’s questions but continues with the job at hand.

Later, Nugget experiences a seizure while sitting in his stationary car with his parents.

Now back in Walford, Jake decides to visit Zoe in prison. There, Jake explains that he and Chrissie broke up over her revenge plan, but mainly, he is seeking information about what really happened at Christmas. When Zoe gives her account, Jake is shocked and chooses to walk away from Chrissie.

Before the visit ends, Zoe pleads with Jake to help her prove that she’s innocent, but he refuses. Subsequently, Kat and Vicki team up to track Jake down, but will they be able to find him?

As Phil continues to care for Nigel, it becomes clear to Callum that his ex father-in-law is struggling with his responsibilities. As a result, Callum rallies the Mitchell family around Phil to make sure that he feels fully supported.

After Billy asks Honey to plead for her job back, Bea asserts that Honey should stick to her guns and demand compensation for her injury. This strategy doesn’t pay off, though, as Suki refuses to budge and sacks both Honey and Bea from their jobs at the Minute Mart.

Later in the week, Bea pretends to Vinny that the community is in uproar about the way in which his family is treating Honey.

When Nugget’s hospital tests suggest that he’s experienced an epileptic seizure, Ravi is beyond devastated that he could have caused his son to have a life-long condition.

Full of upset, Ravi visits Harry’s Barn to drink away his problems. There, Ravi and Mark lock horns with a group of men who have been hitting on Chelsea. Mark is impressed when Ravi saves his skin during the confrontation, which leads him to feel safe enough to confide in Ravi that he’s on a mission to identify the informant in the gang.

After Linda grows worried that Ollie is being targeted at school again, Max offers to look after both Ollie and Annie. However, Max soon learns that his own grandson, Louie, is the bully. Max tells Louie off for his nasty behaviour, but ultimately decides to keep his discovery from Linda.

Later on, Elaine warns Max off after she spots him and Linda looking cosy with each other.
