In Walford, secrets have a way of unraveling lives. And Suki Panesar is weaving a secret so fragile, it threatens to tear everything she holds dear to pieces. Behind her composed exterior and calm voice lies a storm of guilt, desperation, and a dangerous desire to rewrite the past—this time, through her granddaughter.

The revelation that Avani Nandra-Hart is pregnant sends Suki into a silent panic. But instead of offering quiet support or simply listening, Suki does what she’s always done: she tries to take control. Haunted by her failure as a mother with Ash—her own daughter whom she pressured into an abortion at 19—Suki sees this new pregnancy as a second chance. A path to redemption. But it’s not her choice to make.

She pleads with Avani. She offers money. A home. A future. Everything but the one thing Avani is asking for—respect. Avani doesn’t want to be a mother. Not now. Not like this. And she’s adamant about her decision. But Suki isn’t hearing her. Not really. She’s listening to ghosts.

What makes this more devastating is who Suki chooses not to tell. Eve Unwin, her wife, her confidant, her partner in everything—is completely in the dark. While Suki is bargaining with her granddaughter behind closed doors, she’s lying to the one person who’s supposed to know her better than anyone. Worse still, Eve isn’t just unaware—she’s dismissive when the topic of children comes up, laughing off the very idea while Suki secretly plots to become a mother again.

The deception doesn’t end with silence. When Avani prepares for her appointment, Suki becomes unhinged in her desperation. She hunts down Barney Mitchell, pushing him for answers, and races to the clinic for a last-minute confrontation. She repeats her offer: let her raise the baby. Let her fix the mistakes she made with Ash. But Avani stands firm. Her body, her decision.

And yet, even after Avani leaves that clinic, it’s not closure Suki feels—it’s shame. And fury. And fear. Because she knows what comes next isn’t just about Avani’s decision. It’s about Eve.

Eve, who already senses that something is wrong. Who watches her wife drift further away each day. Who feels the growing silence and doesn’t yet know it’s filled with a secret that could burn down everything they’ve built together.

This isn’t just about a pregnancy. It’s about control. About grief. About a woman unable to accept that love does not erase the past—and that trying to control someone’s future is not the same as healing. Suki doesn’t see it that way. She sees a child she could protect. A mistake she could undo. But what she’s doing now is repeating the same pattern that nearly destroyed her relationship with Ash.

And she might lose Eve in the process.

Avani, strong-willed and fiercely independent, doesn’t crumble under guilt. She pushes back. She holds the line. But even she knows that this moment will leave scars. The Panesar family is already walking a fragile tightrope of trust and history—and one more fracture could send them tumbling.

What’s most tragic is that Suki doesn’t seem to understand the cost of what she’s doing. She thinks this is about love. About protection. But what it really is… is fear. And fear doesn’t just lie. It destroys.

When Eve finds out—and she will—what will she see? A wife trying to right a wrong, or a woman who has never truly changed?

Because in Walford, truth never stays buried. And the most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

Will Eve forgive Suki once she learns the truth—or will this be the final betrayal that ends their marriage?
