Wicked Nish Panesar lays a trap and Vinny Panesar falls into it in Monday's episode of EastEnders at 7.30pm (see our TV Guide for full listings). 

The Panesar patriarch has been biding his time to get revenge on Vinny, after discovering he and Suki were plotting to take his business empire. 

Over the past few weeks, Nish has been laundering money through the Chicken Shop, and he's secretly set Vinny up as the fall guy!

He continues the operation, by staging a handover of cash between Vinny and Harti in the Square gardens. But will Vinny realise what his dad is up to?

Suki, who's thankfully a lot smarter than her silly son, knows Nish can't be trusted. She tells Vinny he's being played, but he ignores her warnings as he heads off to an unknown drop-off point. 

Later, Suki's worst fears are confirmed when she catches up with Harti in the cafe. He reveals Nish has tipped off the police, and they'll be waiting to arrest Vinny when he arrives!

Vinny does as he's told and jumps into a waiting cab. But what he - and Suki - don't realise is it's a trap set by Nish, and they've just fallen straight into it!

What does nasty Nish have in store for his traitors?
