A huge secret held by Major Mitchell could potentially tear apart an EastEnders family as the police get involved.

The Mitchell family has been keeping a secret since they showed up unexpectedly in EastEnders earlier this year. Teddy, Harry, and Barney Mitchell have been hiding something from their past, and they are determined to keep it hidden. However, their secret is in danger of being exposed next week when the police start investigating the new family in Walford.

Fans may recall that during their housewarming party at No. 1, Harry mentioned to his father that someone had been snooping around their old home, trying to find out where they had moved to. And just last week, Teddy asked Reiss Colwell to manipulate his finances and conceal his wealth. It seems the Mitchell family has been going to great lengths to protect their mysterious secret.

But things take a turn for the worse when local police officer, Jack Branning, becomes suspicious of the Mitchells. He starts to keep a close eye on them, especially after having a confrontation with Teddy. When Jack comments on Harry's work ethic, Teddy becomes enraged and pays Jack a visit at his home. But this only fuels Jack's suspicions, and he begins to dig deeper into the family's background.

Jack's search for the truth leads him to overhear Harry discussing a meeting with a contact at McKlunky's. Believing he has found something incriminating, Jack obtains a search warrant to raid the garage. This puts the Mitchells in a difficult position, as they are now worried about what Jack might uncover.

In an effort to distract from their secret, Teddy and Harry come up with a plan to hold a charity event at their garage in support of Sonia Fowler, who is currently in prison. They hope that this will impress the locals and divert any attention away from their past. Phil Mitchell, impressed by the fundraiser, takes Harry back on at the garage, but Jack is not convinced and continues to voice his suspicions.

The Mitchells are walking on thin ice as they try to keep their secret hidden while also trying to stay on Jack's good side. Will they be able to keep their past under wraps, or will Jack uncover the truth? Tune in to EastEnders on Monday, September 23 at 7:30pm on BBC One, or watch it on iPlayer from 6am.
