Next week kicks off with Harry absolutely consumed by rage. He’s reached breaking point, his anger toward Ravi simmering dangerously close to boiling over. Watching Ravi parade around Walford as the perfect family man only fuels Harry’s fury. This is the man who destroyed his life—yet there he is, smiling, thriving, untouched by consequences.

Nicola desperately tries to rein him in, urging patience and warning him not to act on impulse. But Harry is past listening. He wants revenge, and he wants it now. Thankfully—or perhaps terrifyingly—Nicola reveals she has a far more calculated plan. Instead of a simple act of violence, she proposes something far darker, something that could destroy Ravi in ways he never expects.

Elsewhere, Phil and Julie find themselves confronting an emotional nightmare as they take Nigel to visit a care home. The reality of the situation hits them like a punch to the chest. They’re told a decision must be made quickly if Nigel is to secure a place, highlighting just how cruel and unforgiving the system can be.

Watching Nigel grow visibly distressed is unbearable. Seeing a Walford legend fade so painfully leaves Phil and Julie shaken to their core. Unable to go through with it, they make a snap decision—they bring Nigel home, determined to explore other options. It’s a moment full of love, guilt, and desperation, setting the stage for even tougher choices ahead.

Linda is already on shaky ground emotionally, and next week pushes her even further. She’s dreading an upcoming school reunion, terrified of facing the ghosts of her past. Johnny encourages her to attend, believing it could be a step toward healing, but Linda is fragile, unsure if she’s strong enough.

In a moment of classic Walford humor, Honey agrees to accompany her—posing as a former classmate named “Bayer” so she can sneak in. What starts as a lighthearted plan quickly turns into a nightmare when Linda comes face to face with the real Bee. The tension is immediate and brutal as Bee exposes what Linda was really like at school, suggesting she wasn’t always the kind, compassionate woman we know today.

Back with Phil and Nigel, emotions reach a devastating peak. Phil insists that Nigel deserves a say in his own future, leading to a deeply moving conversation. Nigel speaks about wanting to visit the beach, a simple wish that carries heartbreaking weight. Even Phil Mitchell is visibly shaken, showing a level of compassion rarely seen.

Julie realizes the truth—there’s no easy solution. To fund Nigel’s care, she prepares to leave for Scotland and sell the family home. It’s a crushing decision, one that represents loss, love, and sacrifice all rolled into one.

Amid the chaos, a lighter—but no less dramatic—conflict brews. Kathy and Ian are furious to discover that Elaine is launching a breakfast offer at Peacock Palace, directly undercutting the café. Thus begins the ultimate petty feud: Ian Beale versus Elaine Peacock. Walford’s breakfast wars are officially on.
