Disaster strikes as Ravi spirals and Priya takes control in EastEnders

How will a shocking crash change everything for Ravi?

 18-24 APRIL

Ravi continues to struggle, feeling powerless because he cannot protect his family. Despite his insistence on keeping it a secret, Priya, worried for his well-being after his recent self-harm, takes him to seek help.

At the hospital, Ravi is seen to.

Meanwhile, in McKlunky’s, Nugget confronts Will and his friends for recording and sharing a video of one of his seizures. Humiliated, Nugget runs off, and when Ravi hears what’s happened, he desperately searches for his son. Upon finding him, a shaken Ravi gets angry and insists the entire family return home immediately.

Determined to keep his family safe, Ravi suggests a family ‘reset day’, staying at home to play games and watch films. However, Priya soon starts to recognise the seriousness of Ravi’s situation and looks to find a way to leave. But Ravi insists they remain safe inside, and the situation comes to a head when Nugget makes a discovery and confronts Ravi.

After Ravi’s shock revelation, the family are left reeling, and Nugget verbally lashes out at him. With Ravi’s attention elsewhere, Priya attempts to sneak out but is caught by an on‑edge Ravi.

Wanting to keep his family safe prompts Priya to suggest they leave Walford together, aiming to get Ravi help.

Taking a car from the car lot, Priya, with the family in tow, makes her way to the hospital, but Ravi soon realises what is happening and questions Priya, just as Nugget has a seizure. Taking her eyes off the road, Priya loses control of the car, which veers across the road straight into Max and Cindy, who are returning home from a nursery mixer with Jimmy.

In the aftermath of the crash, both families are left shaken, and Max manages to get Jimmy and Cindy out of the car to safety. Both relieved that they are all fine, Max and Cindy share a moment before heading to the hospital, where they grow closer.

Ravi returns to Walford, but when Priya returns to Walford, she desperately looks for Ravi, and it’s not long before she finds him on the bridge. As Priya talks to Ravi, she makes him realise that he needs help, and he agrees to get down to safety.
