Harry’s out to score again in EastEnders today
George is shocked by Nicola’s admission that she’s pregnant, and heads out to confirm her story with Honey. Meanwhile, Harry asks Nicola for money again, but she rescinds the offer, leaving Harry frustrated and desperate to score again.
When Nicola gives chase to George, Harry is left alone with his brother. Finding Harry tearing the house apart in search of money, Barney reveals that he knows Harry is addicted to drugs.
Harry responds by telling him about Teddy’s guilty plea, and Nicola’s pregnancy. While he’s unsuccessful in hitting Barney up for cash, Harry finds Nicola’s wedding ring… and pawns it to buy drugs.
Harry goes AWOL
When Nicola returns home, she finds Harry passed out on the sofa, under the influence. Barney confronts her over everything that Harry has said and, when she admits he was telling the truth, he storms off to see Zack.
Alone with Harry, Nicola blasts him for pawning her wedding ring to buy drugs. She then meets up with George, leaving him alone once again. Accepting that the baby’s his, George promises not to tell the police about Harry’s confession.
They return home to find Harry gone, leaving only a note behind. “See you in court!” it reads, leaving Nicola horrified.
Will Harry turn himself in to the police?
