As Harry overdoses and Teddy faces serious jail time, one Walford resident is brutally attacked next week
It's not looking good for the nu-Mitchells
Harry Mitchell suffered a drug overdose in EastEnders tonight (Thursday, November 13) as dad Teddy revealed his plan to plead guilty to murdering Okie. In an eventful episode for the nu-Mitchells, Nicola struggled to support her family in the wake of everything that had happened.
She visited Teddy at the prison, where Teddy informed her that he planned on taking the rap in full. Matters went from bad to worse when she returned home, to find Harry lifeless on the sofa.
Here’s what happened in EastEnders tonight – and what happens when the story continues next week.
Teddy took the fall in EastEnders tonight
With Teddy locked up, Nicola was firing on all cylinders trying to protect the boys. However, it didn’t take long for Harry to realise that his dad had been charged with murder.
As Barney reeled from the shock, Harry set off to reveal the truth. Thankfully, Nicola was successful in convincing him to stay his hand. The pressure was getting too much though, and after an attempted visit from Kojo, he contacted his dealer in an attempt to score.
Meanwhile, Nicola visited Teddy at the prison. He was holding up well, all things considered. But there was even more bad news in store – Teddy was planning on pleading guilty.
Hoping to avoid trial for Harry’s sake, he now faced a fifteen-year stretch… all for what should have been a cut-and-dry case of self-defence.
Harry overdosed in EastEnders tonight
Back in Walford, Nicola prepared to break the news to her sons. She was horrified to discover Harry passed out on the sofa, having overdosed.
Will Harry survive his latest brush with death?
Ravi brutally attacked in spoilers for next week
Rather frustratingly, there’s no indication from next week’s spoilers what happens to either Teddy or Harry. However, the fallout from the drug storyline continues as Ravi’s recent actions endanger Eve and Suki’s adoption chances.
Realising that Ravi’s presence could torpedo the whole plan, Suki and Eve ask him to leave. He agrees – but, on his way out, he’s grabbed by a gang of heavies, who drag him away.
He returns later, having been beaten to a pulp. How much danger are Ravi and his family in?

Is there a series 23 of Dragons' Den?
BBC One has confirmed that there IS a series 23 of Dragons' Den, and it's had a makeover. Not only has Sara Davies left the show, but there'll be four guest Dragons' in the Den in 2026.
Former footballer Gary Neville will be back. And he'll be joined by three more business savvy celebrities. These include Susie Ma, who has built one of Britain's quickest-growing beauty brands in Tropic Skincare.
Rapper and businessman Tinie Tempah takes the third guest chair, while REFY CEO Jenna Meek completes the Dragons' Den guest set.
The BBC said: "Dragons' Den is back in business with a brand-new series - and the heat is on. An exciting new line-up of guest Dragons is ready to shake things up in the Den and put Britain's boldest entrepreneurs to the ultimate test.
"Seasoned investors Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, and Steven Bartlett are back in the Den to strike deals and uncover the latest collection of game-changing business ideas. Back in the Den this season is footballing icon and entrepreneur Gary Neville, alongside an exciting line-up of guest Dragons: music mogul and rapper Tinie Tempah, REFY CEO and serial entrepreneur Jenna Meek, and Tropic Skincare powerhouse Susie Ma."
Every episode will feature one of the four guest Dragons sitting alongside the OGs – Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Steven Bartlett.

When is the start date of Dragons' Den series 23?
Dragons' Den series 23 will begin on Thursday, January 29, 2026 at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer. This is the same evening it's aired for years... So why change it now?
The show takes the 8pm to 9pm slot, and will run for seven weeks until March 12, 2026.
How many episodes is it?
Series 23 will kick off with seven brand new episodes, with more episodes to come later this year.
Fans of the show were frustrated last year when the series was broken up in two parts – with episodes seemingly dropped at random.
