Your comprehensive guide...
It’s been six months since the BBC soap gave us a look into 2027, and a lot has happened. While we’re no closer to answers on some of the events from the flashforward, other stories are starting to take shape.
If you’re a soap detective and have an intricate board detailing every clue, theory and red herring, complete with connecting pieces of string, then we fully respect you. We also understand if you’ve forgotten everything the episode revealed, and we’d forgive you for needing a refresh after all the life-changing events of the past few months in Walford. There has certainly been a lot to digest.
But don’t worry, we’ve worked tirelessly to explain everything that ‘Enders teased in the episode in this handy guide. Fifth time lucky?
Apparently not, as Max kicks off his wedding day in bed with another woman before he’s met with an army of police, forced to jump out of a window, betrayed by his daughter, arrested for solicitation to murder, interviewed by the police, all before returning home to discover a gun-toting mad man has kidnapped both of his children and is asking him to choose which one dies. Why does Jack have a baby?

We’ve absolutely no idea, though a later discussion reveals that Max has apparently saved his life at some point in the previous year. Could it have driven her all the way up the aisle with his brother, who she’s previously had no time for?
While buoying her uncle Jack , Lauren receives a text asking her to meet in the ‘usual place’, and as she’s hiding Max at her house following his escape from his own home, he informs her that he knows exactly what she’s been up to. Back at home with Oscar, she receives another text, telling her it’s ‘decision time’ and as she goes to leave, she’s stopped by the same gun-toting man from before. ).
It’s been heavily teased over the past few months that Lauren and Mark are going to have an affair, and she’s already growing close to him dueWhen Max proclaims that he knows what she’s doing, is he aware of an affair between the two? Is the decision she needs to make between Mark and Peter?
As with baby Ethan and mystery man, the gun-toting villain offers no clue as to his identity, but unlike the former, we also don’t see his face. Does this indicate that he’s someone that we know? BesidesBut surely neither of those would then later make Max choose one of his children to die?
I mean, they’ve both been bad, but notAfter being arrested for ‘solicitation to murder’ , the policeman in charge of the investigation asks Max about his ‘criminal contacts’. The swarm of armed police who earlier came to collect him also indicate that the authorities think Max is incredibly dangerous. Has Max stepped into the void left behind by Phil and Ravi as Walford’s face of gangster-ism? Honestly?
I hope not… His earlier proclamations to Lauren, though, that he’s mixed up in something bad but is totally innocent suggest that he’s gotten in way over his head and hasn’t inexplicably become a crime lord. Something big is going to happen, and Max is going to be seen as the bad guy, clearly. Lauren can’t believe the wedding is going ahead given ‘what happened’,It’ll also drive Jack and Max further apart and make Max and Peter’s relationship even worse.
With his reputation still in tatters, what more could happen to solidify Max as the black sheep of his family? While the lucky lady isn’t confirmed throughout the entire episode, four candidates are revealed when Jack calls said-bride to inform her of Max’s arrest.
) and Denise’s phones suspiciously ring at the same time, and the reveal that Denise’s daughter and Chelsea’s sister,Chelsea described Max as fit in an episode prior to the flashforward when the pair shared some seriously flirty eye contact. Linda has a child with Max, and was the reason he decided to stay in Walford. Denise is the wild card here, though it was stated earlier in the episode that she and Jack are on bad terms.
However, we still have a long few months ahead of us before the big day, so there is every chance Max will ultimately end up betrothed to someone else…Knowing Max, it could be anyone! The person he’s spent the night with, though is pregnant, and with a sonographic video shown the day before the flash forward, we’re lead to believe that Max is the dad.
As Max’s wedding is hardly being kept secret, we also assume that whoever the pregnant lady is, she’s fully aware of Max’s other life. ), confirms that Oscar is a ‘Trueman’ now, with the implication that they’re still together.
