Nugget's given the all-clear, but there's more trauma in store when he suffers panic attacks and Ravi's self harm continues next week
Ravi's determined to make himself suffer
Ravi began to self-harm in EastEnders tonight (Wednesday, January 14) in the wake of his violent confrontation with Harry and Nicola Mitchell. As the episode began, he was set on his bloody revenge… only to be talked down by George and Priya.
He may have been stopped from doing something terrible, but it’s clear no-one will be moving on from this one anytime soon.
Not least Nugget, who begins to suffer panic attacks when he returns next week.
Here’s everything that happened in EastEnders tonight… and what happens next.
Ravi confronted Nicola and Harry
As a vicious confrontation continued, Ravi had Harry and Nicola cornered. She held her hands up to spiking his drink, but maintained their innocence in Nugget’s attack.
Meanwhile, trapped at the flat, Priya rang Avani and demanded that she return home. At Harry’s Barn, spotting her dad moping around, Gina suggested he speak to Nicola. He answered his phone to a call from the woman herself, who’d sneakily placed the call while talking to Ravi.
Ravi ushered them both into the living room, where he was about to attack when George arrived on the scene, stepping between Ravi and Nicola.
Harry leapt at Ravi just as he was about to swing, putting them both through the coffee table. Still, Ravi managed to turn the tables, grabbing the bat. He was just about to strike when Priya arrived, finding him looming over a terrified Harry.
After taking out his wrath on the rubble of their home, Ravi fled, leaving the traumatised family to nurse their wounds.

Back home, Ravi opened up to Priya about his guilt over what he’d done. Revealing that Nicola was pregnant, Priya begged him to move past his vendetta. Meanwhile, back at the Mitchells’, George expressed his disappointment in Nicola for what she’d done.
Left alone as Priya returned to the hospital, Ravi remained consumed by his guilt. As he nursed his wounds from the Mitchells’ coffee table, a deeply suffering Ravi began taking it out on himself by self-harming.
Priya struggles to hold her family together in EastEnders next week
As the soap continues next week, Priya insists that Nugget move into Ravi’s flat. However, Ravi’s still struggling with his guilt over the attack, and finds it hard to be there for his son.
When Nugget asks why he didn’t visit him in hospital, Ravi reacts badly, forcing Priya to step in.
The next day, in an attempt to impress Ravi, Nugget attempts to go outside. However, he soon becomes overwhelmed, and suffers a panic attack, to the horror of Suki and his family.
Afterwards, Suki and the family try to support struggling Ravi… but no-one is aware of the extent of his pain. Will Ravi continue self-harming? And can anyone help Nugget?
