The stage is set for Nish’s final act of revenge in EastEnders
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of EastEnders that hasn’t aired on BBC One yet, but is available to view on BBC iPlayer.
Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) is ready for his final act of revenge in EastEnders, and the Panesars are in huge danger.
The evil character escaped from prison earlier this year. When he learnt of Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and Eve’s (Heather Peace) plan to get married, he announced his plans to go ‘nuclear’ and stop their wedding from going ahead.
In tonight’s episode, the Panesars spent the morning embracing wedding prep traditions ahead of the big day.
It was a wonderful atmosphere, with Eve announcing how happy she is to be part of the family, and Suki smiling as she watched the other Panesars laughing.
Their morning was interrupted due to the arrival of a police officer, who confirmed they have reason to believe Nish is now in Walford.
Nish has been hiding out in a flat in Albert Square ever since he escaped police custody. The only Panesar who knows about this is Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury), who has been bringing Nish food and water in secret.
During a visit, Nugget listened as Nish revealed the next part of his plan. The teenager seemed apprehensive to commit to it, knowing he could face severe police consequences.
Nish then stood up and walked towards the front door, manipulating Nugget into thinking he’d hand himself in.
Losing his granddad to prison made Nugget agree to Nish’s plan. With that, he headed to a river and disposed of some items in the water.
Later, the police returned to the Panesars and confirmed they had received a phone call, which stated they had seen Nish near the river.
With the detective announcing Nish had more than likely ended his life, it left the family in a state of shock.
While Ravi (Aaron Thiara) and Vinny (Shiv Jalota) attempted to process the news, Suki remained convinced that Nish wasn’t dead – because they hadn’t found a body.
Outside, a chat with Yolande (Angela Wynter) saw Suki change her mind about putting the wedding on hold. She returned home and said despite the developments surrounding Nish, she still intends to marry Eve as planned.
Back in the flat, Nish thanked Nugget for his help and said he will ‘end things’ on his ‘own terms’.
BBC bosses are keeping tight-lipped over his revenge plot, though what we do know is that the Panesar family struggle in the aftermath, with new developments around every corner.
It’s going to be intense.
