WARNING: This article contains spoilers for today’s episode of EastEnders, which is available for streaming on BBC iPlayer, but has not yet aired on BBC One – in which Ravi Gulati’s plan for Jack Branning is revealed.

EastEnders has confirmed what Ravi has in store for Jack following the police officer’s attempt at a frame job last night. Jack had been caught out after sneaking into Ravi’s place to plant the gun. He managed to avoid being caught out by Priya, only for Denise to drop him in it when she mentioned his ‘fixing the boiler.’

Realising what Jack had been up to, Ravi found the gun and confronted Jack. In a tense exchange, the gangster warned Jack that their war was very much on.

In today’s episode (Wednesday, September 10), Ravi completed his turn of the tables, blackmailing Jack for £100,00.

Jack came clean to Denise after being exposed

As the episode began, Denise had just been hit with the news that Jack was behind Zoe’s shooting. Initially in denial, Denise soon realised that Ravi was telling the truth when she saw Jack’s reaction.

Jack admitted that his finger had been on the trigger, making him partly responsible for Zoe’s near-death experience. Horrified by her husband’s latest betrayal, Denise ran out on the warpath, swapping stern words with both Oscar and Ravi.

Meanwhile, Priya realised that Ravi had been up to no good after seeing him argue with both Jack and Denise. Ravi managed to talk his way out of the doghouse – claiming that it had all been Jack, and he was just trying to do the right thing – before settling on a plan of his own.

Ravi blackmailed Jack in EastEnders tonight

After smoothing things over with Priya, Ravi returned to Jack’s place, where he issued his demand. Catching the copper as he emptied his bins, Ravi told Jack that he wanted £100k to forget about the gun. If not? Well, Ravi would be showing him how to properly frame a man.

Will Jack comply with Ravi’s demands?
