Airs on Monday, September 12 2011 20:00 BST on BBC One

Jack is outraged when he discovers who Michael has lined up as Tyler's rival in the forthcoming fight - a fierce opponent called Stiller, who has a violent reputation. Michael tries to talk his way out of trouble by implying that he's fixing the match in Tyler's favour, but Jack insists that a different opponent must be found. At the same time, Vanessa tells Eddie that Tyler will be fighting in an unlicensed match, but Michael stays one step ahead by reassuring his dad that the fight is a good idea. Later, Eddie finds Anthony rummaging through the safe and realises that he's looking for cash to bet on the fight. Eddie tries to discourage his son from gambling, but Anthony secretly removes £8,000 from the safe.

Later, Michael angrily confronts Vanessa over her decision to tell Eddie about the fight. When Vanessa lets slip that she slept with Eddie last week, Michael uses this to blackmail her - wanting to ensure her continued co-operation as she tries to back out of the revenge plan. Michael gets what he wants by pretending to call Jodie and hinting that Vanessa is involved in something dodgy. Panicking over the thought of Jodie discovering the truth, Vanessa agrees to carry on with the plot against Eddie…


Meanwhile, Mandy finds herself on the receiving end of Phil's vicious tongue when he brands her a prostitute. Winding her up further, Phil asks for Mandy's help in soliciting a lap dance. Ian defends Mandy, but the tearaway takes matters into her own hands by coming up with a plan. Visiting Phil at the club, Mandy offers him the lap dance that he mentioned earlier. However, as arranged in Mandy's scheme, Ian and Shirley arrive at the door at the worst possible moment for Phil.

Elsewhere, Carol asks Eddie to go on holiday with her, but he turns her down as he can't make the dates that she suggests; Yusef gives Zainab more sleeping pills in an unlabelled bottle, before telling her that they need time apart as he cannot act on his feelings for her while she's still married to Masood; Darren steals money from the cash box at the car lot; Tyler invites Whitney to his big fight, but she turns him down even though she's tempted; while Phil threatens Janine and orders her to fire Rainie.

Tyler is seriously injured in the fight
Airs on Tuesday, September 13 2011 19:30 BST on BBC One

Carol comforts Eddie when he explains that today is the anniversary of his wife's death. Soon afterwards, Vanessa flirts with Eddie and tries to get close to him, but she realises the depth of his feelings for Carol and backs away at the last minute. Vanessa tells Michael that she couldn't go through with the scheme, but Michael is convinced that she's already done enough. Michael tells Jack that Eddie and Vanessa are an item, so Jack is forced to break the news to a stunned Carol. At the same time, working on another aspect of his revenge plan, Michael confirms his £8,000 bet with Anthony before the Moons gather at the boxing club for the big fight.


As the event gets under way, Tyler is taken aback as his fierce opponent enters the ring. It's clear that Tyler has been seriously mismatched for this fight, and Jack is furious that Michael ignored his warning yesterday. Jack worries further when he hears that Michael has 'forgotten' to book a doctor for the event and quickly recruits Yusef to keep an eye on proceedings. When the fight starts, Tyler starts being pummelled by his opponent - being repeatedly smashed to the ground. Eddie thinks that his son should throw in the towel, but Tyler takes inspiration from Whitney, who's in the crowd after deciding to attend the fight after all. Against the odds, Tyler fights back and wins the battle - leaving Anthony in despair as his £8,000 bet was for Tyler to lose. Suddenly, things look a whole lot worse as Tyler collapses and has a violent fit in the ring…

Meanwhile, Mercy's sister Faith arrives on Albert Square and presents Fatboy with annulment papers. She also asks for Fatboy's wedding ring so that she can sell it. Later, Grace embarrasses Faith in front of her new Albert Square friends by refusing to let her attend the boxing match.

Elsewhere, Ian receives a phone call from Peter, who's been involved in a car accident with Lucy. Ian immediately decides to leave for Devon to take care of them. Mandy is shocked when Ian refuses to give her a key for the house while he's away, so before he leaves, she lifts Ian's keys without him knowing.


Tyler fights for his life in hospital
Airs on Thursday, September 15 2011 19:30 BST on BBC One

As Tyler's violent fit continues, Jack brings Yusef in to deal with the situation. An ambulance is soon called and Tyler is rushed to hospital, where the consultant explains that he'll need close observation as tests have found bleeding between his skull and his brain. Unable to cope with the situation, Eddie takes his anger out on Anthony - berating him for betting against Tyler, before saying that he wishes Anthony was unconscious instead. A devastated Anthony heads back to the Square, finding himself at a party that Mandy has thrown at Ian's house following his departure. Faith and Mandy both kiss Anthony at the wild party, but he soon realises that he's needed at the hospital and returns to his brother's side.


At the same time, Michael makes it clear to Eddie that this 'accident' has happened today for a reason - revenge at last for the loss of his mother. Michael criticises Eddie's parenting and years of hatred pours out as he lectures his father over his chequered past. Eddie is appalled by the situation, realising that he's responsible for creating the twisted man that Michael has become. Later, Michael starts to realise the gravity of the situation and begins worrying that Tyler might not pull through. Eddie then makes a promise to Michael - he's now going to reveal what he's been hiding and tell the truth at last…


Meanwhile, Carol is heartbroken after hearing that Eddie has been involved with Vanessa. Carol fumes as Vanessa turns up at Pat's house hoping to explain. Later, Carol heads to the hospital but it soon becomes clear that she's not there to support Eddie. Instead she insults him, branding Eddie selfish and claiming that he hurts everyone he meets. Carol then goes to stay with Sonia for a while, wanting time away from the Square.

Elsewhere, Yusef makes it clear to Jack that he doesn't want to be associated with the controversy which will surround the illegal fight, while it's clear that Whitney has feelings for Tyler as she visits him at the hospital.


Eddie shares all of his secrets with Michael
Airs on Friday, September 16 2011 20:00 BST on BBC One

Having promised to tell Michael everything, Eddie brings his son to an assisted living home. When they arrive, Eddie introduces Michael to Craig - his secret son, who has Down's syndrome. Michael is shocked by the revelation that he has a half-brother he never knew about, but Eddie corrects him by explaining that Craig is actually his full brother. Craig is pleased that Michael is visiting as Eddie had promised him that he'd get to meet his family one day, but Michael is unhappy that they weren't introduced sooner. As tensions rise, Eddie makes it clear that Michael and Craig's mother wasn't the saint they make her out to be.


Michael soon spends some time getting to know his brother and is moved when he sees that Craig has a St Christopher around his neck just like him. Later, Eddie and Michael return to the hospital, where Tyler's condition remains critical as he undergoes life-saving surgery. Pushing for more answers, Michael asks Eddie for the truth about his mother. Will Michael believe what Eddie has to say? And will Tyler pull through?


Meanwhile, Jack finally discovers that Darren has been stealing from the car lot and tells Jodie what her fiancé has been up to, prompting her to call off the wedding. When Darren seeks advice from Tamwar and Fatboy, they assure him that Jodie does love him and so he shouldn't give up on their future.


Later, an emotional Anthony confides in Jodie about everything that's going on, so she offers him a comforting hug. When Darren sees this, he misinterprets it as a romantic moment. Soon afterwards, Darren decides to go out drinking with Lauren and the pair end up sharing a passionate kiss.

Michael Moon's twisted revenge plan begins to play out in tonight's episode of EastEnders as Tyler finds himself facing a fearsome opponent in the boxing ring.

On the anniversary of his mother's death, things begin to unfold perfectly for Michael (Steve John Shepherd) when Jack learns that something is going on between Eddie and Vanessa - and quickly shares the news with a shocked Carol.

Meanwhile, when Eddie (David Essex) says that a victory for Tyler would provide the family with a happier reason to remember September 13, Michael is shocked that his father could be so insensitive and it spurs him on to go ahead with his schemes as planned.

As Tyler (Tony Discipline) goes head-to-head with his dangerous opponent, it's clear to all that he's been seriously mismatched for this fight. With no doctor booked to oversee the match, is Tyler heading for disaster?
