Over the past few months on EastEnders, Vinny (Shiv Jalota) has been working to take down his father.
After initially cutting his dad off, Vinny decided to be overly nice in order to win his affections back.
As part of the many Panesar mind games, Vinny has been seemingly remaining loyal to Nish in order to stay on his good side and to use it to his and Suki’s (Balvinder Sopal) benefit.
But Nish, who blames Vinny for siding with his mother Suki amid their disaster break-up, has been cooking up a scheming plot of his own.

The Walford villain took things to the next level after overhearing Suki and Vinny discussing their plan in the Minute Mart.
Having gotten wind that undercover police are digging into the chicken shop business that he owns, Nish decided to come up with a cunning plan, which will have devastating consequences for Vinny.
Events at Vinny’s birthday party this week – which sees the young Panesar extend an olive branch to his father – complicate matters, but aren’t enough to make Nish back down from his plan.
And in shocking scenes airing next week, Nish will sneakily put his son in the crosshairs of the police.
Nish continues with his plan to set Vinny up as the fall guy for the Chicken shop’s money laundering and stages a handover of cash between Vinny and Harti in the Square gardens.
However, Suki quickly warns her son that it could be a setup.

But Vinny ignores his mum’s warning and follows Nish’s orders by heading to an unknown drop-off point.
Heading off the deal before it can happen, Suki demands an audience with Harti in the café.
He then reveals that Nish has tipped off the police and they’ll arrest Vinny when he arrives.
Suki quickly intervenes and Vinny arrives back at No.41, where she implores him to leave Walford.
The taxi drives Vinny straight into the trap and he pales when he realises he has been set up as his fate is left hanging in the balance.
