Ravi was petrified as the drugs kicked in (Credit: BBC) Nish ‘returned’ as Nicola and Harry targeted Ravi in EastEnders tonight It was the big day, and Harry was keen to get his revenge on Ravi.

What else happened in EastEnders tonight? As Nicola and Harry struck, Jean also followed through on a threat. Still spiralling and convinced that Jasmine is behind all of her family's recent torment, Jean packed her bags - after raging at Jasmine and Lily first, of course. Meanwhile, Linda reconnected with a face from her past, while Phil worried Sam with his plans for Nigel. Here's everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight. Jean packed her bags Following Jean's ultimatum yesterday, Jasmine was on edge. Matters worsened when Jean walked into The Vic to see Alfie cosying up with Jasmine. Launching into another tirade, Jean exploded at Jasmine, describing her as 'evil' and a 'heathen,' before being ordered out of the pub by Alfie and Yolande. Back home, an emotional Jean packed her bags, raging at Lily for being taken in by 'evil' Jasmine. Linda reunited with an old schoolmate Still concerned about that evening's school reunion, Linda was distracted from a call about Ollie. He'd gotten in trouble at school, leaving her concerned about his temperament. Still, Honey was successful in convincing her to attend, and together they set off for Linda's reunion. Arriving at the school, she passed Honey off as an old pupil named Bea, gaining entry for them both. Once inside, Linda got to work badmouthing the real Bea - who happened to be in attendance herself. And it turned out there was bad blood between the pair of them, as Bea revealed how she'd been ostracised and mocked by Linda when they were at school together. Phil made plans for Nigel Julie set off on a trip to Edinburgh, so as to put the house on the market to fund Nigel's care home. This left her oblivious to the fact that Nigel was planning on taking Nigel abroad - away from her, Walford and his support network. Sam tried to talk Phil out of this latest utterly ridiculous plan, but he was having none of it. After booking a flight to Portugal, Phil was dismayed to hear that Sam's date for her lumpectomy had come though - the same date as he was planning on being out of the country with Nigel. Also in EastEnders tonight Having moved into Penny's place, Gina revealed that she'd spotted her with Vinny on New Year's Eve. She insisted, however, that their so-called relationship would go no further than that. Read more: Who’s leaving, joining and returning to EastEnders?
