Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) is ordered to leave her life in Albert Square behind in EastEnders next week.

Earlier this week, the police arrested her associate Benji (Carl Prekopp) for the murder of eldest son Harry’s (Elijah Holloway) ex-girlfriend Shireen.

They wanted to know why Nicola’s bracelet had been found on Shireen’s body and why Benji had been handed £20k after receiving some dodgy messages on a burner phone.

Nic, being the criminal mastermind she is, managed to get the coppers off her back.

Harry, however, had suspicions about his mother’s involvement and cornered her in the bar with a crowbar.

Splashing spirits all over the office, he prepared to torch the place – but dad Teddy (Roland Manookian) stopped him. Harry disowned his parents, and darted off.

Nicola then admitted to her husband that she did indeed kill Shireen, but the whole ordeal was an accident.

In upcoming scenes, Harry wakes up at The Arches and is badly hungover. The discovery has completely and utterly broken him and everything he thought he knew, he’s questioning.

Teddy is similarly furious, and tells Nicola that she must leave Walford forever.

Billy finds Harry and takes him to Walford East to sober up, but the conversation turns frosty when Teddy arrives.

It’s going to take a lot of work before father and son can see eye to eye again, and Billy makes it his mission to sort things.

Cornering his nephew in the cafe, Billy attempts to reconcile and persuades him to return home, but a conversation with Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) derails things once again.

Penny tells Harry a secret about Shireen, and he marches over to No. 1 to confront his parents.

The two are bickering about Teddy’s order, and she’s desperately trying to convince him that she has a future with her family.

How will they explain the next piece of damning evidence about his beloved ex?

Elsewhere, Zack Hudson (James Farrar) – who is desperate to reveal that he is the Mitchells’ youngest son Barney’s (Lewis Bridgeman) birth father – receives some words of wisdom from Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig).

She tells him to keep clear from Nicola, but he ignores her advice and decides to issue a threat.

Nic then accosts Gina Knight (Francesca Henry), who is trying to track down Harry. She wants to know why his behaviour has suddenly changed, and won’t stop until she has the answers.

When Harry stumbles in drunk to the cafe, Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) alerts his parents, while Gina continues to press Harry for information.
