EastEnders has aired a deadly cliffhanger involving Nish and Suki Panesar in
the show’s latest episode. This week, Suki found out that Nish was framing their
son Vinny for money laundering and was planning to have him arrested. She
informed Vinny and told him that he needed to leave Walford to remain safe – but Nish figured out that he was leaving in a cab. Vinny said goodbye to Suki and Eve and left in a taxi, but he was unaware that it was Nish who was driving. In today’s episode, Nish drove the car into a back alley and then revealed his identity to Vinny, who looked terrified. Vinny made up a story as to why he was leaving, but Nish didn’t believe him and led him to the kitchen at Walford East to talk.
Meanwhile, Suki and Eve began to worry that Vinny hadn’t texted, and Kat told Suki in the café that Vinny can’t be in one of her cabs as he cancelled earlier. Suki informed Ravi of the situation and urged him to help, having to admit that she and Vinny had been playing Nish. Nish expressed his upset that Vinny had binned the pendant that he gave him for his birthday, before revealing that he knew about Vinny and Suki’s plans. Consumed by devastation, Nish hit Vinny around the head with a coffee press and Vinny collapsed unconscious on the floor. When Vinny eventually came round, Nish brandished a knife and threatened to use it. He lunged at his son to stab him, but at that moment Suki and Ravi found them and fended him off.
Suki wanted Nish sent to prison, but Ravi said that he was tired of their fighting and encouraged them to sort things once and for all. At the house, Suki and Nish had a candid conversation and, scared about what might happen next, Suki apologised for putting Vinny at risk. It looked like a truce was on the cards, but Nish remained firm that he wanted to do everything to destroy Suki before he dies. Suki realised that this would never end and stormed out, but as Nish was shouting, he doubled over in pain. She returned to see him clutching his heart on the floor and assumed he was faking, but quickly realised that Nish genuinely needed help. Suki went to call an ambulance, but then realised that there was an easy way to end her ordeal – and put the phone down. As Nish lay dying, Suki sat by him and watched, sipping on her drink. Will this be how Nish dies?
