EastEnders airs frightening Ravi and Mark cliffhanger in early iPlayer release

EastEnders spoilers follow for Monday’s episode (9 March), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn’t yet aired on TV.

EastEnders has aired a frightening cliffhanger involving Ravi Gulati and Mark Fowler, as Ravi edges closer to getting exposed as a secret police informant. Mark was stunned last week when Ravi warned him against showing up to a dodgy job in the drugs gang – and sure enough, the police raided the illegal operation.

Mark was suspicious about why Ravi was privy to this intel and told another member of the gang that he had found the informant he was looking for.

In today’s episode, Priya was concerned when she woke up and discovered that Ravi had already gone out. Ravi was doing an early session in the Boxing Den and only made Mark more suspicious when he asked him more questions about the informant.

Priya confronted Ravi at the gym, and she panicked when Ravi explained that Mark had a deadline to find and kill the grass in the gang.

She took matters into his own hands and attempted to throw Mark off the scent. But she only made things worse, by reminding Mark that Ravi was lucky not to have been arrested for the incident in the pharmacy.

Desperate for answers, Mark broke into Ravi and Priya’s flat and began rifling through their belongings to find crucial evidence proving Ravi is his target.

When Priya caught him snooping, Mark was honest about his suspicions. Priya rushed to make up a cover story and told him that Jack owed Ravi a favour after the shooting last year, so he gave him the heads-up about the raid.

With Priya promising him that Ravi’s intel was only a one-off, she managed to convince Mark to get off her partner’s case. Priya raged at Ravi when he later came home and made it clear that she was sick of cleaning up his mess.

Once alone, Ravi began to spiral again and trashed the flat. As he continued to struggle with his mental health, he was triggered into action when he picked up a smashed photo of his family.

Ravi composed himself and headed outside, telling Priya: “I know what I have to do now. I’m out of time.”

He got into the car and drove straight at Mark – but instead of running him over, he demanded Mark to get in the vehicle. With Priya left terrified, where is Ravi driving to with Mark?
