EastEnders It pushes viewers to their limits with one of the darkest and most brutal psychological tragedies ever inflicted on Ravi Gulati. What began as a cold-blooded revenge plot has now morphed into a destructive chain of events, where Ravi not only loses control of his own life – but nearly destroys his own family. And at the heart of that storm, Priya Nandra-Hart is forced to step in, confronting the man crumbling before her eyes.

The revenge plot had been planned for a long time.

From the outset, Nicola Mitchell and Harry Mitchell made no secret of their goal: to ruin Ravi Gulati at all costs. For Harry, 2025 wasn’t a “hot summer” but a prolonged hell – being blackmailed by Ravi, forced into a drug ring, witnessing his best friend Kojo’s downfall, and then being held captive for weeks in a locked cell.

When Ravi handed over control to Okie Okyere, Harry’s tragedy worsened. Okie drugged Harry, driving him into addiction. The climax was when Harry, in a state of extreme panic, stabbed Okie to death with his own knife – a crime that Teddy Mitchell had to bear the blame for, receiving a life sentence.

No price was high enough for Nicola and Harry to consider the matter “closed.”

The moment hatred erupted.

After hitting rock bottom and going to rehab, Harry returned to Walford on the same day Ravi also arrived. Witnessing Ravi being greeted with open arms by Priya Nandra-Hart, Avani, and Nugget, Harry’s eyes blazed with hatred. With Phil Mitchell’s venomous words echoing in his head, Harry nearly attacked Ravi – only to be restrained by his mother.

But Nicola couldn’t gamble with her son’s health. When Harry stated bluntly that if he didn’t “get justice,” he might relapse, Nicola relented. The revenge plan was given the green light.

The cruel trap in Harry’s Barn

While Ravi was alone at Harry’s Barn, still hurt by being dropped from Eve and Suki’s adoption interview, Nicola intervened. A drink. A moment of distraction. Hallucinogens were added.

Ravi quickly lost control. Harry dragged him and threw him down into The Arches, where Ravi began to fall into terrifying hallucinations. Images of his deceased father, Nish Panesar, appeared, mocking and chasing him. In utter terror, Ravi ran, screaming and fighting back against the “ghosts” that existed only in his head.

But the truth is far more brutal.

An unforgivable moment: Ravi attacks Nugget.

In his delirium, Ravi didn’t realize that the person he was attacking was his own son, Nugget. Vinny Panesar was the one who discovered the tragedy. Nugget was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and placed in an induced coma.

This is no longer a revenge story. This is a tragedy.

Ravi shattered – and fell into self-destruction.

Ravi confessed everything to Priya. She screamed for revenge against Nicola and Harry, but when Ravi came seeking justice, George Knight intervened, preventing a new round of violence.

Blocked. Crushed by guilt. Haunted by the near-killing of his son. Ravi completely breaks down. In the most shocking scenes, he turns to self-harm – a silent, desperate, and haunting act.

EastEndersNo romanticizing this moment. No background music. No explanations. Just a man who no longer knows how to live.

Priya was forced to stand between Ravi and Nugget.

The following week, Priya made a bold decision: to have Nugget move back in with Ravi, hoping to mend their father-son relationship. But the plan quickly backfired. Ravi became cold and distant, unable to bear his son’s gaze.

Nugget, hurt that her father hadn’t visited her in the hospital, cornered Ravi, demanding answers. And Ravi… exploded. He lost his temper, his words sharp as knives.

Fortunately, Priya arrived just in time. She rushed in, extinguishing the confrontation before it completely destroyed the last remaining thread between father and son.

The question is unavoidable.

Ravi Gulati is spiraling downward at a terrifying pace. The demons within him are no longer restrained by family love or fear of the law. And now, it all rests on Priya’s shoulders – the only woman remaining standing amidst the ruins.

Can Priya stop Ravi before he destroys himself and drags the whole family down with him?
Or is this tragedy just the beginning of an even more horrific collapse at Walford?
