EastEnders teen Davinder aka Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) had been missing for weeks after running away from home.
His dad Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) was going out of his mind with worry, but there was an element of relief when police detective Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) revealed that another officer had spotted Nugget in Brixton.
Meanwhile, Nugget contacted his step-grandmother Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) from a mystery location and asked her to bring him food and money.
The Panesars were oblivious that Suki had been in contact with Nugget for weeks and hadn't told any of them.
However after Ravi overheard Suki on the phone getting Nugget's address, he was convinced that Suki knew where his son was.
She was forced to confess the truth to her husband Nish (Navin Chowdhry) and it wasn't long before the family burst into the flat Nugget was hiding in.
Ravi soon got the shock of his life when his ex-girlfriend Priya Nandra-Hart came through the door and introduced herself as Nugget's long lost mum.
So who is Nugget's mum in EastEnders?
Who is Nugget's mum in EastEnders?
Nugget's mum Priya is played by Sophie Khan Levy, who is known for her role as Florence Pandhi in the hit Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small season 3 and has also appeared in The Sixth Commandment.
Ravi received a huge shock when he was reunited with his ex-girlfriend Priya, but that wasn't the only surprise in store as Ravi discovered he was the father to a daughter he never knew existed.
Ever since their turbulent split, Ravi had kept Priya away from their teenage son Nugget, who she gave birth to when she was 18 years old after she met drug dealer Ravi. However, it turned out that he wasn't their only child together.
Ravi soon found out that Priya had secretly raised their daughter Avani (Aaliyah James) alone, choosing not to tell him about her pregnancy which left Ravi floored by the bombshell.
More dark secrets emerged when Priya told Ravi that his late adoptive father, Ranveer (Anil Goutam) was responsible for her vanishing from Nugget's life after he told her that she was worthless and tried to assault her.
The evil businessman then paid Priya off to leave the family and issued her a death threat if she ever came back. Once she discovered she was pregnant, she was too terrified to return as she didn't want to lose another baby.
Since their arrival, Priya and Avani have moved into the Panesar household, with Priya already making an enemy out of fiery matriarch Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).
However, she instantly won over Suki's husband Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) with her charms, who even gave her a job at the Minute Mart.
The troublemaker is constantly stirring the pot at the Panesar's and even kissed Nish as part of her plan to make sure he would let her and Avani stay in his home.
Despite all this, Priya and Ravi have become a little family unit as he gets to know his daughter, while she is always on-hand to deliver some hilarious one-liners.
