Teddy makes a risky choice and approaches Nicola with a favor after learning Okie passed away because of Harry, and the shocking news sends him spiraling into a storm of grief, anger, and desperation that leaves him convinced he must take action before the truth is buried under the usual layers of fear and silence that surround Harry’s misdeeds, and as Teddy’s mind races, he realizes Nicola is the only person who possesses both the proximity to Harry’s inner circle and the moral flexibility to help him uncover what really happened, because Nicola, despite her complicated loyalties and her history of playing both sides when it benefits her, has always had a strange, unspoken understanding with Teddy, an understanding that makes him believe she might actually listen to him even now, when the stakes are higher than ever, and Teddy approaches her not with threats or accusations but with a raw honesty that catches her off guard, telling her that Okie didn’t just die—he was pushed into danger by Harry’s manipulations, threats, and twisted games, and Teddy needs her to use her position, her access, and her subtle influence to confirm exactly what Harry did, who else knew about it, and whether Harry is planning to shift the blame before the authorities start asking questions, because Teddy knows that once Harry senses vulnerability in the narrative, he will reshape it however he wants, and the truth about Okie’s suffering will be lost, leaving Teddy with nothing but unanswered questions and the hollow ache of injustice, and Nicola, uncomfortable but intrigued, listens closely as Teddy outlines his plan, a plan that requires her to dig into Harry’s recent movements, his correspondence, and the shadowy favors he has quietly collected from people who owe him more than they can admit, and Teddy acknowledges the danger she will face because getting too close could put her directly in Harry’s crosshairs, but he appeals to her conscience, reminding her that she once warned him about trusting Harry too much, that she once said Harry had a darkness inside him that destroys anyone who stands too close, and Nicola, though resistant at first, cannot ignore the sincerity in Teddy’s voice, nor the undeniable truth that Harry’s behavior has escalated in recent months, crossing lines even she finds unsettling, and as Teddy explains that all he wants is clarity, closure, and the chance to hold Harry accountable before the cycle of manipulation continues with someone else, Nicola begins to waver, recognizing that Teddy’s request is not about revenge but about protecting others from becoming the next casualty of Harry’s temper and ego, and she realizes she has reached a point where pretending not to see the danger is becoming just as immoral as participating in it, so she reluctantly agrees to help Teddy, warning him that this favor comes with risks for both of them, because if Harry discovers she is feeding information to Teddy, he will not hesitate to retaliate in ways that could ruin her career, her relationships, and even her safety, but Teddy assures her that he has no intention of exposing her and that everything they discuss will remain between them, a promise that carries weight because Teddy has never broken his word to her, and with that fragile trust established, Nicola begins her quiet investigation, slipping into conversations with Harry under the guise of concern, asking subtle questions, observing his reactions, and collecting the small but telling inconsistencies in his story, all while feeding updates to Teddy through late-night messages and whispered exchanges at locations where Harry would never think to look, and as Nicola digs deeper, she uncovers a chilling truth: Harry did not just cause Okie’s death indirectly; he set into motion a chain of events that left Okie defenseless, isolated, and terrified, a truth that horrifies Nicola and strengthens her resolve to help Teddy expose him, because now she understands that Harry is far more dangerous than she ever allowed herself to believe, and Teddy, fueled by grief and a newfound determination, prepares to confront Harry with the evidence Nicola helps him gather, knowing that the confrontation could spark consequences far beyond what either of them anticipates, and yet he refuses to back down because Okie deserves justice, and Teddy refuses to let Harry rewrite the ending of a life that should never have been cut short, while Nicola struggles with her own guilt, knowing that her involvement in Harry’s world may have indirectly enabled the very behavior that led to Okie’s death, making her assistance to Teddy not just a favor but a quiet attempt at redemption, and as the truth inches closer to the surface, the tension in EastEnders threatens to explode, with Teddy standing at the center of a storm he willingly stepped into, determined to ensure that Harry finally faces the consequences he has long escaped.
