In the 20-second trailer posted to the soap's official channels, we see a car driving through some empty streets at night to then only swerve off of a nearby bridge into a lake.
Whatever it is, it's enough to send a chill down your spine, as the reality of who could be in danger has started to dawn on fans.
With the release of the clip, plenty have been left to ideate as to who could be in the car.
We do know that it's just a temporary exit, with Stacey Slater set to make a return to our screens "when Lacey decides the time is right," according to an EastEnders spokeswoman who spoke to The Sun.
But hey, we can't put anything past EastEnders.
Fans have also floated the idea that it could be Cindy (Michelle Collins), who has only continued to get herself cemented in the drama after exposing Kathy's (Gillian Taylforth) affair with Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman).
Could Kathy still be hellbent on getting revenge with Cindy, despite her supposed happy ending? Or could Jean be the one in the driver's seat?
Some fans have speculated that it could involve Zack (James Farrar) or Nicola (Laura Doddington), with one writing on X: "My theory is, this is when Zack attempts to kidnap Barney & Teddy or Nicola gives chase. Nicola fires her gun at the car, Zack loses control, the car crashes with Barney & Zack inside."
As for now, we'll just have to wait and see who will be driven into the lake but something tells us it'll be worth the wait.
