Ravi Gulati’s crimes have finally caught up with him — but no one expected his downfall to happen like this. In a gripping, tension-filled twist, the troubled Panesar has been forced into a terrifying final meeting that could end with him leaving Walford for good… or not surviving the night at all.

From Desperation to Darkness

After losing the Panesars’ entire fortune when Bernie Taylor wiped their accounts clean, Ravi plunged headfirst back into criminality. His desperation to be seen as a provider drove him to Nicola Mitchell for a drug connection, despite her clear warnings.

Soon, Ravi was knee-deep in a brutal operation: bringing Okie Okyere into the Square, exploiting Harry Mitchell, and trapping vulnerable Kojo Asare in a nightmare of violence and forced drug use. It was only a matter of time before the entire empire collapsed.

When Harry and Kojo escaped and revealed everything to the police, Ravi’s world imploded. Arrested and terrified of losing Priya and their children, he eventually confessed — and struck a deal to become a police informant. But the truth shattered his family. Priya was heartbroken, Avani and Nugget were furious, and even Barney turned against Avani after learning the truth about Teddy Mitchell’s imprisonment.

Priya Betrayed as Ravi’s Secret Unravels

Suki Panesar stood by Ravi at first, but Eve’s blunt warning — that they couldn’t raise an adopted child under the same roof as a drug dealer — hit hard. Meanwhile, Ravi secretly worked with Jack Branning, gathering intel on the shadowy figure above him.

But when Priya overheard Ravi making a call to his boss, she assumed the worst. Ravi didn’t correct her, choosing instead to protect her from the dangerous truth. He even revealed a chilling photo sent as a threat, hoping she’d understand the danger they were in.

Priya accepted his explanation, but the heartbreak was written all over her face.

“You Have to Leave”: Suki Delivers the Final Blow

Moments after Ravi tried to comfort his devastated children, Suki returned — and everything changed.

Her voice steady but her expression shattered, she told Ravi he had to go. Her loyalty now belonged to Eve and to the child they planned to adopt. And for once, Ravi accepted a blow without protest, knowing she was right.

But then came the knock.

Dragged Into the Unknown

Eve answered the door — and froze. Several huge men stepped into the living room. Ravi’s boss had received his earlier message and “requested” a face-to-face meeting.

The tone made it clear: Ravi wasn’t being invited. He was being summoned.

Priya broke down as Ravi kissed his terrified children goodbye. Suki looked helpless, Eve powerless. And Ravi — calmer than anyone expected — walked out the door as if he knew he might never return.

The screen cut to duff-duffs as Priya clutched Avani and Nugget, all three trembling over whether they’d seen Ravi alive for the final time.
