Tensions explode in Walford as Sonia Fowler, Bianca Jackson, and Bex Fowler find themselves in a bitter and emotional showdown with Terry Cant—a confrontation that’s been simmering for weeks finally boils over, and no one walks away unscathed.
It all kicks off after Terry, now fuming and spiraling from his latest setbacks, lashes out not only at Sonia but at the entire household. Feeling sorry for himself and angry that things haven’t gone his way, he begins hurling hurtful words, stirring up emotions from the past. When Sonia confronts him about the party incident and the flight money he had taken, he shrugs it off, tossing a casual “You can have it back if that’s all you care about.” But his condescending tone only adds fuel to the fire.
Sonia’s patience finally snaps. “It’s not about the money,” she fires back. “You came back to wreak havoc and try to convince people you’ve changed—like you’re the good guy in all this.” Her voice trembles, not with fear, but with fury. She sees through the facade, and she’s had enough. And then comes the final straw—Terry coldly confesses that his return had nothing to do with family or reconciliation. “This was always about me. You? You were never really part of the plan.”
Those words hit Sonia like a punch to the gut. Bianca, always protective of her family, storms into the room. “You what?!” she yells. Terry, emboldened by his rage, throws in one last verbal grenade: “If I could go back to the ’80s, I’d never have got with your mum. The world would’ve been better without the waste of oxygen that came from it.”
The air goes silent. Even Terry realizes he may have crossed a line he can’t walk back from.
Suddenly, things escalate. Terry gets locked in a room—whether for his own safety or theirs, it’s unclear. Sonia and Bianca, fueled by frustration and disbelief, barricade the door. “Let me out!” he yells, pounding on the door, but they don’t budge. “He needs some time to calm down,” Sonia tells Bianca. Bex, shaken but trying to remain rational, adds, “That’s probably a good idea.”
Outside the room, the three women debate what to do next. The flight tickets are now a source of contention—Bex had asked Sonia to print them earlier, but now the group realizes they’ve got a difficult choice to make. Terry’s name is on one of the tickets, and it feels wrong to let him use it after what he’s done. “It’s probably theft,” Bianca jokes half-heartedly, but there’s truth behind the words.
But despite the chaos, Sonia remains grounded. “Someone’s got to be here to let him out,” she says. “I can’t stand the man, but I know what it’s like to hit rock bottom.” There’s a flicker of empathy in her eyes, though it’s buried under layers of hurt.
As they continue to discuss their options, Bianca grows more determined. “Come on, we’ve got four tickets. We can pay to change the name on one. Let’s just go.” Bex hesitates. “Are you sure?” But Bianca nods. “I’m not letting him ruin this too.”
From behind the door, Terry shouts again, his voice cracking. “Really? You’re just going to leave me in here?” But the women have heard enough. “Shut up, you!” Bianca snaps. “We’ll let you out when you’ve had time to think about your behavior.”
In a rare show of solidarity, Sonia, Bianca, and Bex prepare to leave. Their bags are packed—not just with clothes, but with a sense of closure. For too long, Terry has brought chaos and toxicity into their lives, and this trip might be the escape they need to start fresh.
As the episode draws to a close, the camera lingers on Terry, alone in the room, yelling into the silence. Whether anyone is listening is no longer his concern—what matters now is that the women he underestimated have found their strength.
What’s next for Sonia, Bianca, and Bex? Will this mark a turning point in their story, or will Terry find a way to worm his way back into their lives once again? One thing’s for sure—Walford’s family drama just took a dramatic new turn, and fans won’t want to miss a single moment.
Stay tuned, EastEnders fans—because things are only going to get messier from here.
