In the upcoming drama on *EastEnders*, tensions rise as Denise Fox confronts her daughter Chelsea over the chaos caused during Carnival night. Chelsea, who had secretly allowed more tickets to be sold, caused the club to exceed its capacity, leading to the tragic crowd crush that left Amy Mitchell injured. Instead of taking responsibility, Chelsea let bar manager Penny Branning take the blame, which has strained Penny’s relationship with her father, Jack Branning.
As Amy is discharged from the hospital, still struggling to recover from her injuries, Jack is relieved to have her home. However, Denise feels a deep sense of guilt for covering up Chelsea’s involvement in the incident. Chelsea, on the other hand, is initially relieved that Amy is back but soon faces a harsh reality check from her mother. Denise confronts Chelsea, detailing the serious impact her actions have had on Amy, Jack, and the entire family.
The tension escalates when Chelsea and Denise join the Branning family for a welcome-home drink at the Queen Vic, where Amy is visibly traumatized. Though Chelsea tries to cheer Amy up with gifts and attention, Denise grows increasingly upset with her daughter’s overcompensation, knowing the guilt Chelsea is carrying.
As the week progresses, Jack informs Amy that the police will be investigating the Carnival crush, and there’s a possibility Penny could face prison time. Chelsea, overwhelmed by guilt, continues to hover over Amy, even bringing over Del for support. With the police recovering footage from the club, Chelsea’s actions are at risk of being exposed, and the question remains: will Chelsea’s secret come to light, leading to her facing the consequences?
