After her brutal attack at the hands of her monstrous stepson, Joel Marshall (Max Murray), next week in EastEnders, Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), remains deeply traumatised and finds herself in another violent situation, but when Zack Hudson (James Farrar) steps in to help, sparks fly.

After the implosion of his drug operation last week in EastEnders, Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) is facing the consequences of his actions as he continues to deal with the fall out of his dark schemes.

Elsewhere, Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) looks set to eat crow when proof materialises that appears to prove Zoe Slaters (Michelle Ryan) innocence after she sets about setting up Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) and Freddie Slater (Bobby Brazier), while Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal) and Eve Panesar-Unwin (Heather Peace) take another step in their adoption journey

That not enough for you? It’s cool…we get it. On to the spoilers!

Monday, November 17

Vicki is crumbling with the news that Joel is pleading not guilty, though an attempt to persevere by going to the Vic quiz night results in thawing between her and Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw), though an interaction with Chelsea Fox’ (Zaraah Abrahams) date, Damon leads to a confrontation when she catches him on the phone to his wife. As things escalate after the quiz, things turn physical when Vicki pushes and injures him.

With Suki and Eve trepidations ahead of their adoption assessment, they try and fix things between Priya Davdra (Priya Nandra-Hart) and Ravi, which works until Priya catches Ravi arranging a drug deal, leading to a bust up in front of the assessor.

Elsewhere, Zoe decides to fix up Freddie and Anna, while Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) worries about her sons in the wake of Teddy Mitchell’s (Roland Manookian) arrest.

As the Nandra-Hart-Gulati’s descend into a full scale argument, Suki and Eve desperately try to keep their assessment on track. Ravi admits to continuing to deal, leading Eve and Suki to demand he leave, though things get darker when a group of men arrive to take him away.

Zack comes to Vicki’s rescue and deals with Damon, though their later heart to heart takes a romantic turn when the two kiss. When caught tonguing by Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), they both swear it was a moment of madness and plead with her not to tell Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).

Zoe’s elation at rekindling the relationship between Freddie and Anna is short lived when the Vic is bombarded with bad online reviews, specifically targeting her, while Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) again turns to drugs.

Wednesday, November 19

While Freddie investigates the online reviews, Alfie’s suspicions about Zoe and the terror campaign peak and he demands to Kat that she leave, though they’re absolutely floored when they find a threat daubed on the wall of the barrel store.

Battered, bloodied and bruised, Ravi returns as Priya implores him to leave the drugs world behind, while Suki and Eve breathe a sigh of relief when they make it through to the next stage of the adoption process.

Elsewhere, Ross visits Joel in an attempt to get him to change his plea, before telling Vicki he won’t give up on their relationship, while Kathy suggests Zack focus on Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman) and Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier) tries to get closer to Jasmine Fisher (Indeyarna Donaldson-Holness).

Thursday, November 20

Ross makes a grand gesture to remind Vicki of happier times, though she remains unmoved.

Alfie is forced to swallow his pride and apologise to Zoe for doubting her story, and when they find a lone earring in the barrel store, she determines that it must have been left by her tormentor.
