Max's behaviour is taking a huge toll on his loved ones.
EastEnders has released two brand new pictures showing the drama ahead for the Branning family in tonight's special episode.
The chaotic clan will take centre stage this evening as the fallout from Max's revenge plan continues to send shockwaves around Albert Square.
Max (Jake Wood) is struggling to hold things together now that he knows he's been double-crossed by James Willmott-Brown and Fi Browning.
With the whole Square now against him, Max's family are deeply concerned and they try their best to get through to him once and for all.
Sadly, it seems that Max just doesn't want to be helped and emotions run high as they face the potentially fruitless task.
As things get heated, do the Brannings stand any chance of making him see sense?
Tonight's EastEnders marks the return of award-winning scriptwriter Simon Ashdown, who worked on the show between 1995 and 2013.
As well as penning this evening's episode, Ashdown has also crafted this year's Christmas editions, which will feature even more drama for the Branning family.
EastEnders' executive consultant John Yorke recently said: "I'm delighted to welcome one of EastEnders' greatest writers back to the show.
"Simon has delivered some of EastEnders' biggest moments and I hope people will agree that his Christmas episodes are right up there with his very best work."
