'EastEnders': Yusef panics as his cousin returns - Spoiler Pictures

EastEnders villain Yusef Khan fears that his plans could be ruined next week as his cousin Tariq makes an unexpected return to Albert Square.

When Zainab (Nina Wadia) agrees to marry Yusef, news of the engagement soon reaches Tariq and he turns up in Walford to make his disapproval known.

Tariq corners Yusef (Ace Bhatti) while the scheming doctor is out jogging on his birthday, immediately warning him that his family will not be pleased over his reunion with Zainab.

Desperate for Tariq to keep quiet, Yusef arranges to meet up with him later - promising that they can come up with a solution that is beneficial to both parties.

When the two men meet, Yusef desperately tries to bribe Tariq - promising that he can have the Argee Bhajee as soon as the wedding is over.

Tariq is satisfied by Yusef's offer and agrees not to rock the boat, but he soon realises that all isn't as it seems when he has a private chat with Afia (Meryl Fernandes).

Afia inadvertently reveals to Tariq that the restaurant actually belongs to her and Tamwar rather than her father, making Yusef's offer worthless. How will Tariq react?

EastEnders airs these scenes on Friday, December 2 at 8pm on BBC One.
