Viewers next week will see Bernie exposed as a thief who has been stealing from the Panesar family after late killer Nish gave her control in his will.
Vicki Fowler will attempt to blackmail her for some of the skimmed cash - as Bernie's cousin Felix also warns her to be careful.
And when Priya and Ravi start to suspect Bernie's abilities to run the Panesar accounts aren't quite there, Suki is adamant she's up to the job.
Later, Kathy tells Suki that Bernie has stolen money from the accounts, and Priya tells Ravi who intervenes by requesting an audience with Bernie at No.41.
Realising she has nowhere to hide, Bernie tells Ravi, Priya and Suki that Vicki is the one responsible for her crime.
However Ravi and Priya aren't convinced and enlist Vinny into finding out the truth.
Actress Clair recently teased her exit from Walford - teasing Bad Bernie's return.
She said: "My exit is very Bernie, and it's back to bad Bernie.
'It's very dramatic, and must-watch, I've already filmed my exit and it will play out later this summer."
Clair also recently told The Sun about her plans after she has closed the EastEnders chapter in her life.
She said: "My plan is to work out what I want to do. EastEnders is the only thing I've ever done, so all I know is soap.
'I came from college and went straight into it. I think having a varied career, going into theatre would be great, and also, doing a drama would be great. I'm open to anything.
'I've just been on holiday which was great and the perfect timing. And now I'm back it's about getting cracking with show reels and self tapes."

Phil Foden is slapped with ANOTHER parking fine after leaving his £200k Mercedes G Wagon in a Manchester loading bay to attend the premiere of Tommy Fury's BBC documentary
Phil Foden was hit with yet another £60 parking fine after leaving his £200,000 Mercedes G Wagon in a Manchester loading bay on Tuesday. The England star, 25, had driven his car into the city centre to attend the premiere of boxer Tommy Fury 's new BBC documentary. Despite receiving a string of parking fines in the past, Phil's car was once again seen in an unauthorised spot with a threat of removal from Manchester City Council on view on the windscreen. Meanwhile the Manchester City star posed for snaps with Tommy at the premiere of his documentary Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury in The Printworks. Back in March, Tommy's beloved car was slapped with a yellow card in the form of yet another £60 parking fine. It came less than five months after he was hit with another fine and spotted running through Wilmslow town centre in a bid to avoid the charge. The England star had driven his car into the city centre to attend the premiere of boxer Tommy Fury 's new BBC documentary (pictured with Tommy on the red carpet) Onlookers saw Phil talk with the traffic warden, however his pleas appeared to fall on deaf ears as he took the yellow ticket off his windscreen and got into the car. On Saturday Phil kicked off a new season with Manchester City as the team kicked off their new campaign with a convincing 4-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, he was kept out of the squad for the match after manager Pep Giardiola noted a concern with a knock to his ankle during training, with hopes he'll be fit to play against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. Off the pitch, he and his long-term girlfriend, Rebecca Cooke, also sparked engagement rumours after she was spotted wearing a large diamond ring in February. The footballer is said to have whisked his beau away on a romantic trip to Paris for New Year's Eve, where he reportedly proposed. In photographs obtained by The Sun, Rebecca was seen trying to conceal the large ring while out and about. A source told the publication: 'The pair of them have been together since they were young and their family and friends have been expecting them to get engaged for a while. 'The time seemed right for Phil to pop the question. He took her away to Paris for New Year's Eve and when they came back Rebecca had a sparkling diamond ring on her engagement finger.' Off the pitch, he and his long-term girlfriend, Rebecca Cooke, also sparked engagement rumours after she was spotted wearing a large diamond ring (pictured with their two children) 'The ring is absolutely huge. It's a massive diamond. She loves it and she's very proud of wearing it although she hasn't announced anything about it,' they added. The insider also hinted that their potential wedding could be a star-studded affair, with Premier League players and glamorous WAGs in attendance. Phil and Rebecca have been childhood sweethearts since their teenage years after meeting at a party. They are parents to three children. She gave birth to their third child in June, with Phil flying back from the Euros to be by her side in the delivery room. Phil and Rebecca welcomed their first child, Ronnie, in 2019, followed by their daughter, True, in 2021.
