Next week on EastEnders, Zack and Whitney make a big decision about their future, while Denise gets a chilling threat from Ravi, and Alfie has a new money-making idea.
Here's a full collection of the biggest moments coming up:
1. Zack has a touching idea
Martin and Sharon counsel Zack to be strong for Whitney.
Zack is inspired when Martin explains how Kush and Shabnam planted a tree to remember their son Zaair.
Zack goes to see Whitney and tells her of his plans but she refuses to attend the ceremony. However, after a conversation with Chelsea, Whitney changes her mind.
2. Whitney makes a move on Zack
Zack is pleased when Whitney arrives at the ceremony and they stay back to grieve alone afterwards.
Full of emotion, Whitney kisses Zack, but is confused when he pulls away.
Whitney is devastated by the rejection but Zack can't find the words to share the news of his HIV diagnosis.
3. Emma continues to cause problems
Lexi has Mother's Day with Lola all planned out until Emma arrives uninvited and tags along with them.
Lexi gets frustrated when Emma interferes at every turn and eventually loses her temper about having to share her mum.
Mortified, Emma realises she's overstepped the mark and offers to leave, but Lola tells her to return to the flat while she talks to Lexi on her own.
4. Freddie's secret is revealed
Jean is thrilled when Freddie offers to treat her to a slap-up Mother's Day lunch at The Vic.
When they get to the pub, Rocky – who is there with Kathy, Bobby and Ben – is desperate to keep a lid on how he and Freddie have been making their money recently.
As Freddie continues to bring the money in, a cash-strapped Stacey can't understand how he is suddenly so flush.
All becomes clear when she and Eve interrupt a clandestine meeting between Freddie and Rocky in the laundrette back room, where they get more than they bargained for.
5. Chelsea and Ravi grow closer
Ravi tries to flirt with Chelsea in an attempt to put pressure on Denise. Chelsea rebuffs his offer of a drink, but Ravi remains convinced that he can win her round.
When Chelsea heads to The Albert with Finlay and Felix, she is annoyed to find Ravi there with another woman.
Furious, Chelsea tries to make Ravi jealous but it looks like her plan has backfired when Ravi leaves with his date. But when Chelsea steps outside, Ravi is waiting for her and offers to take her for a ride on his motorbike.
6. Stacey's problems intensify
Stacey is relieved to have the cash for Shiv – a loan shark – but her happiness is soon short-lived.
When Stacey pays Shiv the money, he demands another £200 by tomorrow, threatening violence if she doesn't deliver.
7. Alfie gets a new idea
With Stacey desperate to raise the money for Shiv, Alfie comes up with an idea to raid Big Mo's stock of wedding dresses.
After Sharon turns down the chance to be Alfie's glamorous assistant, she suggests Linda would be the perfect fit.
Linda is not in the mood at first, but after watching Alfie crash and burn with some ill-judged banter, she can't resist getting involved.
As time ticks down to Shiv's deadline for Stacey, will Alfie be able to make the money she needs in time?
8. Jay gives Emma an ultimatum
Lola's hopes of a family evening end abruptly when Emma bolts off after an uncomfortable subject about her past is revisited.
Lola is left fretting about Emma's sudden exit and wonders if her mum has rejected her again.
Angry, Jay demands to see Emma at the car lot, where he tells her to either stick around in the long term – or to leave now and not return. What will Emma do?
9. Sam supports Zack
Sam accompanies Zack to the clinic, where she asks some difficult questions on his behalf about when he can have sex and if he and a partner can try to conceive.
As Sam supports Zack, Chelsea tries to encourage a mortified Whitney to talk to him about how she really feels.
10. Ravi infuriates Jack and Denise
Denise urges Jack to take time off the Ravi case and organises a family games night, inviting Chelsea.
Ravi is delighted to hear about this and invites himself along as Chelsea's guest.
Denise and Jack are horrified when they arrive together, and Ravi enjoys twisting the knife with them both throughout the evening, causing things to get out of hand.
11. Whitney and Zack make a big decision
Sam implores Zack to tell Whitney the truth about his HIV diagnosis, and he goes to see her.
By the end of the week, Whitney and Zack have agreed to talk about their issues at The Vic.
After a deep and meaningful conversation, they have a decision to make about the future.
12. Denise gets a sinister threat
Jack and Denise's marriage hits another stumbling block when Jack accuses her of telling Chelsea that they are investigating Ravi.
Jack later warns Ravi off Chelsea, leading to a tense stand-off between the two men.
Ravi winds Jack up about Denise and the state of their marriage but does offer to stay away from Chelsea on the condition that Jack gives him intel about the investigation.
Equally fed up with his manipulative behaviour, Denise smugly puts Ravi in his place at Walford East, but he comes back with a threat that leaves her shaken.
13. Kathy plans her wedding
Kathy gets tempted to try on a dress at Alfie's wedding emporium and likes what she sees.
Rocky is rattled when she tells him she's got a dress and intends to set a date with Reverend Mills ASAP.
14. Patrick contemplates his future
In honour of Yolande's 70th birthday, Patrick puts a bet on a horse called 'Little Prayer' – the song they played at their wedding.
When his horse comes in, Patrick treats the family to a celebration meal at Walford East.
After cautioning Denzel never to take love for granted, Patrick announces that he's going to see Yolande and intends to win her back.
