Next week's EastEnders episodes see Whitney and Kush's futures hang in the balance, while Ian faces a new nightmare when someone on the Square discovers his dark secret.
Here's a full collection of 12 storylines coming up.
1. Gray's anger returns
Gray is currently overseeing Kush and Whitney's legal cases, but he's feeling the pressure as he knows how important the outcomes are to the residents of Albert Square.
After visiting Whitney in prison and trying his best to reassure her, Gray returns home to the Square and lies to Tiffany about how well her big sister is coping.
Chantelle attempts to support her husband, but his awful behaviour resurfaces when he explodes with anger and grabs her in frustration, threatening to drop Whitney's case.
2. Gray gives Kush some controversial advice
Gray's boss later gets involved with Kush's legal case, urging Gray to make sure the market trader pleads guilty to pushing Leo from the Prince Albert balcony. Gray passes this advice on to Kush, but Kat is outraged and reminds him that Kush didn't do anything wrong.
What to Read Next
Kat and Kush are both left with a dilemma when Gray explains that a guilty plea from Kush could help Whitney with her separate case.
Later in the week, Kush arrives home after his hearing and reveals how it went. Did he plead guilty for Whitney's sake?
3. Whitney faces court
Whitney also appears in court for a bail hearing at the end of next week. She's still being supported by Gray, but all is not well with him as he hides his stress over the pressure he's facing.
In the hearing, tensions boil over and Whitney struggles to keep her cool. Tiffany, Keegan, Jack and Max are all waiting outside for updates, desperately hoping that Whitney will be released.
4. Peter is suspicious over Ian
Peter Beale certainly knows a wrong'un when he sees one, as he gives Ian the cold shoulder. By the time next week's episodes arrive, Peter has figured out that Ian was responsible for Dennis's death, so wants nothing more to do with him.
Peter agrees to hear Ian out following advice from Bobby and Dotty. We can't reveal the outcome of their chat, but Peter later tells Dotty that she'd be wise to stay away from his dad. Advice she won't be listening to, by the way.
5. Dotty makes a shocking discovery
When Shirley announces that she's closing The Arches, Dotty tries to bag some of the clients for herself by searching through messages left on the business phone.
One of the voicemail messages leaves Dotty startled and she rushes off to confront Ian. She plays some incriminating audio of Dennis begging Ian to let him out of the locked room on the boat. It's clear that Ian's fate now rests in Dotty's hands.
6. Tiffany and Keegan are targeted by a thief
Keegan gets some rare good news when Iqra reveals that Masood has allowed her to use his old van for their food business. Keegan and Iqra get excited over the opportunities to expand and they even consider applying for a loan to take their venture to the next level.
Sadly, Keegan soon suffers another setback when he and Tiffany arrive home to find a thief rushing out of their flat. A scuffle follows but when the police get involved, Keegan is the one who unfairly ends up in handcuffs.
7. Keegan struggles after the police incident
Keegan is left in a low mood after the police drama, especially as it comes so soon after he was repeatedly targeted for Stop and Search in recent weeks. Tiffany and Mitch try to cheer Keegan up, but it's no use.
Later, Keegan gives Jack a piece of his mind over the police's prejudice.
8. Tiffany hides a ticking timebomb
Tiffany has already narrowly escaped trouble when a man from the council arrived wanting to speak to Ted, but it seems that more problems could be on the horizon.
When more letters arrive that are addressed to Ted, worried Tiffany simply hides them rather than dealing with the problem. We fear it may only be a matter of time before Tiff and Keegan are facing eviction from the flat.
9. Bex reveals her plans for the future
Bex's exit storyline gets under way as she announces plans to go travelling. Neither of her parents are pleased over her decision, but it's Sonia who goes a step further by hiding her daughter's passport so that she can't go.
Sonia sticks to her guns when Bex confronts her over the childish move, but her stubborn attitude is condemned by Martin, Max and Jack. Fortunately, Sonia finally sees sense when Bex writes her a letter which explains things from her perspective.
10. Suki's lies start to unravel
Suki's terrible lies about her "illness" come under threat when she slips up in a conversation with Jean about a doctor at the hospital. Suki thinks she has managed to cover her tracks afterwards, but Jean decides to make it her mission to find out what's really going on.
Jean's plan sparks concern from Shirley, who's worried about her friend, but it's not long before Shirley is also suspicious over Suki's behaviour.
11. Lola drops a bombshell
Lola hasn't taken centre stage too often since her return to Walford, but that could be about to change next week.
When Jay plans a family afternoon to cheer up Lexi, there's an unexpected outcome as Lola shares some surprising news with him. Lola then makes a big decision which is connected to her news.
Lola also spends some time in a heart-to-heart with Ben, who admits his fears after recent events.
12. The Carters start to move on
After a hellish few months for the Carters, things seem to be on the up as they try to get their family back on track. There are early signs of progress when Ollie wins second place in a competition at school thanks to a home-made costume that Linda created for him.
With things getting back to normal, Linda also gets rid of her secret alcohol stash, with support from Tina. She even builds bridges with Sharon again, offering to help look after the baby when she spots her struggling following Dennis's death.
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
