5. Mark confides in Ravi

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.
Later in the week, Priya makes her anger about Ravi’s police work known, but the couple are forced to put their problems to one side when they receive a call from the hospital. What is it about?
6. Elaine issues a warning

7. Jake reunites with Alfie
BBC
Having caught Kat and Vicki rifling through his stuff, Jake is persuaded to pay Alfie a visit. In The Vic, the cousins share an emotional reunion, before Jake agrees to stay over.
Later in the week, Jake comes into contact with Phil as he tries to put his past behind him once and for all. During their exchange, Phil convinces Jake to do the right thing by Kat and Alfie, which leads him to send Chrissie a text to lure her back to Walford.
As Jake and Kat wait to see whether the text has done its job, what will happen next?
8. Linda leans in for a kiss with Max

That evening, Linda enjoys Max’s company, before she moves in for a kiss with him. Will Max reciprocate her gesture?
9. Honey makes a kind offer

By now, it’s no secret that Bea is a troublemaker through and through. This time, Bea kicks up a fuss when she takes deliberate offence at Linda, then assumes she’s being thrown out of Peacock Palace.

Will Bea accept her offer? Or perhaps more importantly, will Honey live to regret her decision?
