Ravi spirals as his life begins to crumble (Picture: BBC)
Ravi Gulati’s life spins dangerously out of control in EastEnders as a shocking chain of events leaves him confused, frightened and facing consequences he never saw coming.
The drama unfolds when Ravi wakes up alone in the street with no recollection of how he got there. Disoriented and shaken, he’s immediately aware that something isn’t right. Once he manages to charge his phone, Ravi is confronted with a series of worrying messages that suggest the previous night ended badly. As panic sets in, he begins to fear he may be responsible for a terrible incident, even though his memory is completely blank.
Unbeknownst to Ravi, the chaos was set in motion by Harry and Nicola. Harry is desperate to take revenge on Ravi. While Harry initially wants to lash out violently, Nicola urges him to wait, insisting that the timing has to be right. Watching Ravi apparently enjoying a perfect family life only fuels Harry’s anger, pushing him closer to action.
Nicola eventually steps in to stop Harry from using violence, revealing that she has her own plan, one that will ensure Ravi pays without leaving obvious blood on their hands.
Meanwhile, Ravi is already feeling pushed out and isolated. As the rest of the family heads off to attend an interview with Suki and Eve’s adoption assessors, Ravi is deliberately left behind.

Later, at Harry’s Barn, Nicola quietly puts her plan into motion. As Ravi lets his guard down while speaking about fatherhood with Patrick, Nicola spikes his drink with drugs. At first, Ravi barely notices, but it doesn’t take long for the effects to kick in. He staggers outside, clearly unwell, where Harry intercepts him and subtly steers him towards The Arches.
Priya soon realises something is wrong when she can’t find Ravi. Her concern grows as Ravi remains missing, completely unaware that he’s being manipulated behind the scenes.
At The Arches, Ravi’s condition worsens. The drugs begin to take hold, triggering intense hallucinations that leave him terrified and confused. Harry’s plan almost continues uninterrupted until Billy turns up, completely oblivious to what’s going on. Forced to cover his tracks, Harry leaves Ravi alone, trapped and spiralling.

As Ravi’s hallucinations intensify, he becomes increasingly distressed. Somehow, he manages to climb out of the pit and escape the Arches, stumbling back into the Square in a deeply vulnerable state.
Priya, Vinny and Nugget begin searching for him, growing more desperate by the minute. But Ravi, gripped by fear and unable to tell reality from illusion, lashes out in panic, with terrible consequences.
