Since Ravi’s return to the Square, Harry and Nicola have plotted to take revenge on him, as payback for the hell he put Harry and Kojo through as part of his illegal drugs operation.

The Mitchells don’t realise that Ravi has stayed out of prison by agreeing to become a police informant, so have hatched a plan to spike his drink and give him a taste of his own medicine.

Oblivious Ravi was left disappointed in today’s episode when he discovered that Suki didn’t want him at her and Eve’s latest adoption meeting, not wanting him to harm their chances of getting a child.

Meanwhile, Nicola told a struggling Harry that the delivery of dangerous drugs had arrived, so they were ready to pounce when Ravi came into Harry’s Barn for a drink.

Sure enough, Ravi lied to Priya and told her that he was helping Vinny with some business but instead headed to the bar to drown his sorrows.

Ravi had an honest chat with grieving Patrick, while Nicola spotted her opportunity and let Harry know that it was time to strike. She put lethal drugs in Ravi’s drink, and Harry watched in the shadows as he downed the dangerous potion.

Later, Ravi staggered out of the bar in a vulnerable state, where Harry cornered him and pushed him into the pit in the garage.

Harry began to torture frightened Ravi, but Billy then arrived at the garage and invited him round for a takeaway. With no choice but to go with Billy, Harry left Ravi in the pit alone – and Ravi began to experience terrifying hallucinations.

Priya realised that Ravi wasn’t where he said he was, so she, Vinny and Nugget headed out to search for him around the Square.

But Ravi continued to struggle and started hearing voices – and seeing one familiar face. “There is no help here, son,” said the voice of evil Nish, and Ravi screamed at his ghostly reunion with his dad.

Actor Navin Chowdhry appears in the credits of today’s episode as the voice of Nish, but could he appear properly in tomorrow’s instalment?
