Nicola warns Ravi in EastEnders - and he'll soon learn she was right
It all kicks off following Bernie Taylor's (Clair Norris) explosive exit last week.
As viewers of the BBC One soap will recall, she had stolen thousands from their businesses in order to start a new life in Spain.
After initially framing Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), the Panesars realised what was happening and installed spyware on her laptop to finally get the evidence they needed.
However, with the computer programme working on a delay, it was too late to stop her leaving. Suki (Balvinder Sopal) had already stepped to one side to let Bernie into the taxi, fearful that she would expose that she was involved in the murder of her brother Keanu (Danny Walters).
In upcoming scenes, the family try to rescue their livelihoods and Ravi has to take desperate measures.
He asks Nicola for a drugs contact, but she's quick to warn him of the dangers involved.
With daughter Avani Nandra-Hart's (Aaliyah James) birthday fast approaching, he knows that he'll need to cash to make sure she has a perfect day.
After meeting up with dealer Okie (Aayan Ibikunie Shoderu), he's forced to hide a car – which contains a stash of narcotics – in the garage.
Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) reluctantly agrees to store the vehicle, unaware of the contents. It's not long before he and Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) open the boot and find everything.
Terrified of the consequences, Harry calls Ravi and tells him to move the car, while Kojo puts his foot down and refuses to work until it's out of sight.
Nicola makes an attempt to intervene when she sees the men in a tense exchange, and later sneaks into The Arches to take a look at what's going on.

He immediately jumps to the conclusion that his mum is the thief. Let's face it, it's likely to be something she'd do!
When Ravi and Okie arrive to collect the car, they realise their profits have disappeared.

Harry & Meg are the world's most boring and unprofitable couple – everything they do is so hilariously bad, expert says
ROYAL experts have labelled Harry and Meghan as the "world's most boring and unprofitable couple", claiming everything they do is so hilariously bad. Esther Krakue, royal expert, labelled the couple as "boring and unprofitable" in the latest episode of The Sun's Royal Exclusive show. 2 Esther Krakue, royal expert, labelled Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as "boring and unprofitable" 2 Meghan Markle's As Ever products, including £11 jam and £22 honey - went on sale this week The comments were made about her Netflix partnership, through which she sold products. The jams were sold under her new company, which had faced a string of setbacks before finally launching. However, royal experts had criticised her products as 'out of touch,' especially given the prices — from £11 for a jar of jam to £22 for limited-edition honey. The products were developed in collaboration with the Netflix Consumer Products group. Esther Okraku said: " I think Netflix are going to have to swallow the fact that they've invested in the world's most boring and unprofitable couple. "Spotify realised quite early on and got out early." The Royal Expert added that she feels Meghan has nothing to lose if her business fails. "I really don't think the public understands just how little is at stake for Meghan," Esther said "Like, who cares if it ever fails? "It wasn't exactly a passion project." Prince Harry and his upstart wife must be honest about their money - they've made millions from the royals It comes after Royal Author Phil Dampier claimed that Netflix is now keen to 'get some of their money back', with the launch of the items. He explained on the show: 'I think having invested $100million in the shows that they did - and the thing about Polo, which universally panned - but I mean, they've obviously made a decision. 'They're going to stick with them for the time being. 'They're going to go for it, and they're going in for a penny, in for a pound. 'And, you know, if they can get some money back with the merchandising, great.' Previously, Esther stated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle must be 'honest' about their money, having made millions from the royal family. Kensington Palace revealed Prince William pays the highest rate of income tax on his private estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, however, the amount was not disclosed. Esther argued that if some people think the Prince of Wales should reveal the tax amount, so should his brother Prince Harry. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, she shared: 'It's an uncomfortable conversation that I think is completely unnecessary, and I think if you're going to have those conversations, then you might as well have them about Harry as well, he inherited, what, £10 million from the late Queen Mother.' The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson chimed in: 'Again, that's all very secretive. We don't know the exact figures.' Esther continued: 'Exactly, but why is no one asking him? 'I mean, him and his upstart wife arguably haven't earned that money by any means. 'You know, why aren't we criticising them? Because it's just distasteful. 'And I think we should extend the same courtesy to William.'

Meghan and Harry 'broke Queen's heart and made final years a misery'
A royal biographer has claimed that when Prince Harry and his wife Meghan left life as working royals behind and then went public with their grievances against the rest of the Royal Family they broke the late Queen's heart and "made her final years a misery" New allegations have emerged from a royal insider that the late Queen and her inner circle had major "doubts" about Meghan before she even married Prince Harry - and experts have weighed in on their significance. Author and journalist Sally Bedell Smith made the revelations on her Substack, Royal Extra, which included claims that one of the late Queen's cousins and closest confidants - Lady Elizabeth Anson - had divulged that the former monarch had serious "doubts" about Meghan ahead of the Sussex's royal wedding in 2018. The close pal of the late Queen claimed that Meghan had been rude to the former monarch in one 10-minute discussion about the couple's nuptials and that within the royal circle, they hoped Meghan loved Harry, but were not totally sure, with some even believing she "engineered" things between them. Meghan and Harry announced in early 2020 that they wanted to step back as full-time working royals, and "carve out a progressive new role" for themselves by becoming financially independent from taxpayer funding, and representing the crown on a part-time basis. Their dream wasn't to come to fruition, however, with the late Queen, the other senior royals, and palace aides, quickly vetoing a half-in, half-out model at what became infamously known as the Sandringham Summit. With a full break to be instituted after a transition year, the Sussexes were shocked when their police security was suddenly pulled - with borders rapidly closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the location of where they were staying in Canada public knowledge, they felt like sitting ducks. The cost of the kind of private security the Sussex family needs is astronomically high, with Harry revealing in his memoir Spare that one company quoted him a price of several million per year to protect his family. Unable to immediately foot such a big bill, Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry offered the family his LA home and security detail until they found their feet - and within months, they had signed multi-million-pound deals with Netflix, Spotify, and publishing house Penguin. However, existing tensions between Harry and the rest of his family were only becoming more strained with the couple outside the fold. In 2021, the couple sat down for their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which they levied a series of damaging allegations at some of the other royals, and their staff - and only a few weeks later, Harry's grandfather, Prince Philip, passed away. Royal biographer Phil Dampier explained to The Sun's Royal Exclusive show that in light of the new allegations, the couple's acrimonious royal exit, and the airing of public grievances, in his view, Harry and Meghan - along with the disgraced Duke of York - made the late Queen's final years a "misery" and that this is something the British public, with whom the former monarch enjoyed a great popularity, are not likely to "forgive". 'It must have been absolutely heartbreaking for her to see what was happening with Prince Andrew and what was happening with Harry and Meghan leaving in her final years," the expert said. "To cope with that as she was approaching the end, and Prince Philip died, and all this happened right at the end of her life. I think it must have been absolutely heartbreaking for her... probably the thing that people won't forgive Harry and Meghan for making her last years a bit of a misery."

Meghan 'had bold marriage plan and William saw right through it,' says expert
After reports surfaced claiming the late Queen long had 'doubts' about Meghan Markle, a royal expert has shed fresh light on what he believes was the Duchess of Sussex's plan from day one One of the closest confidants of the late Queen Elizabeth has reportedly claimed that the former monarch had serious and long-standing doubts about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. The late Queen is said to have been very keen on Meghan when she and Harry first got serious, and both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have never spoken about the former monarch in anything other than glowing terms. Harry was always very close with his grandmother, and Meghan has also spoken repeatedly about the high esteem she held the Queen in and the kindness she showed her when she joined the Royal Family. However, one of the late Queen's cousins - Lady Elizabeth Anson - who was also a close friend of the former monarch, reportedly revealed to Sally Bedell Smith, an author and journalist, that even in the run up to Harry and Meghan's wedding, doubts began to rear their head in royal circles about the bride-to-be. The Duke of Sussex was alleged to have been rude to the late Queen in a 10 minute discussion about the wedding, and the former monarch's confidant claims that whilst there was "hope" in royal circles that Meghan was "in love" with Harry, they didn't "quite think" it to be true, adding, "We think she engineered it all." A royal expert, biographer Phil Dampier, has now told The Sun's Royal Exclusive Show that in his view, these claims are trustworthy because of how close Lady Elizabeth, who died in 2020, was with Queen Elizabeth. The expert added that, in his opinion, this showed that Meghan was using the Royal Family as a "stepping stone" to bigger and brighter things, and that he doesn't believe she ever intended to remain in the UK permanently as a working royal. "I think, unfortunately, that confirms what I've been saying or thought for the last few years that, sadly, Meghan never really had any intention of staying in the Royal Family," the expert said. "She saw [it] as a stepping stone getting married to Harry... to new fame and fortune. "And I think that's what initially Prince William was concerned about. And that's why they fell out. And now we are where we are. But to have this confirmed by somebody so close to the Queen is, is is really dynamite." Meghan and Harry have both said however that they really tried to make life inside the monarchy work, and that when they announced they wanted to step back as full-time working royals in early 2020, they didn't want to make a full break - instead representing the crown on a part-time basis, and still supporting the Queen where possible, whilst making their own money. However, the senior royals and their aides deemed this half-in-half-out model to be unworkable, and made a full break from the Sussexes, stripping them of their royal patronages, Harry's honorary military positions, and their 'HRH' styles. After a protracted battle with the Home Office over the removal of his automatic police security whilst in his home country, Harry has made it clear that he doesn't feel safe bringing his wife and two children to the UK without it. However, journalist and author Omid Scobie revealed in his book Endgame that Meghan "never really felt at home" in the UK, and that after everything that has gone on, she "never wants to step foot in England again".
