This week on EastEnders, prepare for a whirlwind of emotions, secrets unraveling, and a storyline that is as shocking as it is touching. At the heart of it all is young Avani, whose bombshell revelation shakes the foundations of multiple families and stirs a debate that hits deep into themes of love, trust, and what it truly means to be family.

It all starts with a dramatic confession—Avani is pregnant. But what sends shockwaves through Walford isn’t just the pregnancy itself, it’s what she plans to do with the baby: give it to her grandmother Suki and Suki’s partner Eve to raise as their own. Yes, you heard that right—Avani wants her grandma to raise her child.

Tensions erupt as Suki tries to keep the situation under control, delicately balancing Avani’s choice with the devastating impact it has on Eve. Eve, initially unaware of the pregnancy, is blindsided when she finds out—not just about the baby, but about Suki’s role in persuading Avani to keep it and gift it to them.

While Avani insists this was her decision, and that she trusts Suki more than anyone else in her life, Eve is furious. To her, this feels less like a loving gesture and more like manipulation. She accuses Suki of orchestrating the entire situation—charming Avani, feeding her affirmations, and pushing her to think that motherhood could somehow make everything better.

Emotions boil over in a brutal exchange where Eve compares Suki’s tactics to those of her abusive ex-husband, Nish. That stings deeply. But Suki, ever the determined matriarch, doesn’t back down. She tells Eve that she’s tired of drifting through life and wants more—a real future, a family with meaning. And if Eve doesn’t want that future, Suki is prepared to do it alone.

Meanwhile, Avani stands her ground amid the chaos. For her, this baby isn’t a mistake; it’s a chance to give her grandmother the joy she missed out on the first time around. And more importantly, it’s about choice—her choice. She didn’t tell her parents because she didn’t trust them. She confided in Suki because Suki was there for her during some of her darkest moments. And now, all she wants is for the two people she loves most—Suki and Eve—to consider accepting this child as their own.

As Eve storms out, reeling from the emotional battlefield that just exploded around her, Avani pleads with her not to walk away. She asks her to think about it—not for obligation, but because she believes in them. And perhaps, deep down, Eve does too.

Elsewhere in Walford, life carries on in classic EastEnders chaos. Alfie Moon’s return comes with a surprising twist—he and Stacey have bought The Vic! Cue confusion, disbelief, and of course, a massive celebration. Alfie delivers a sentimental toast, crediting his late Nana Moon for guiding him back to happiness. But behind the bubbles and toasts, old tensions bubble under the surface.

Oscar, meanwhile, continues his downward spiral. Haunted by his past and hiding the trauma of a recent beating in juvenile detention, he lashes out, keeps secrets, and spirals into dangerous territory—carrying a blade for protection and getting into dodgy deals just to stay afloat. But Pete catches wind of his behavior and issues a final warning: shape up or ship out. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Oscar breaks down. He’s not a bad kid, just a scared one. Pete softens, offers support, and reminds Oscar that he still has a family who cares—even if it doesn’t always feel that way.

And then there’s Eve, torn between rage and love. Her argument with Suki replays in her mind like a broken record. She questions everything—her past, her future, her worthiness of motherhood. But amid the wreckage of their confrontation, one truth begins to take root: maybe the idea of family isn’t so far-fetched after all.

In a quiet, tender moment, Eve admits to herself that part of her does want this. The thought of raising a child—with Suki—is terrifying, yes, but also deeply moving. For the first time, someone offered her a chance to rewrite her story, to heal, and to build something beautiful from the broken.

The episode closes on a cliffhanger: will Eve accept Avani’s gift? Will she and Suki navigate their way back to each other after such a painful clash? And how will the rest of Walford react when the truth comes out—that a teenage girl is giving her child to her grandmother and her partner to raise?

The idea might seem outrageous to some, even unthinkable—but in EastEnders, family doesn’t always look like everyone expects. And sometimes, the most unconventional choices lead to the most profound moments of healing.
