EastEnders' Martin Fowler will be left in terrible danger next week, when he tries to take control of his increasingly difficult situation with Ben Mitchell.
Martin (James Bye) has unwittingly become embroiled in Ben's dark world since returning to Walford, initially believing it would enable his wife Stacey to be able to come home as well.
Unfortunately, by the time next week arrives, Martin is in far too deep with Ben's murky scams and confides in his best friend Kush Kazemi about the major trouble he's in.
Horrified, Kush demands they confront Ben but Martin is forced to think outside the box when that doesn't go to plan either.
With Ben refusing to back down, Martin speaks to Jack about a 'friend' who is in trouble, but is left frustrated by the policeman's response.
When Martin's dilemma arouses Jack's suspicious, he relays his concerns to Sonia – who is quick to cover for her ex.
What to Read Next
Feeling pressure from all angles, Martin reaches breaking point when Ben turns up and makes yet another demand regarding a new job.
Fans will have to wait and see what Martin does next, but Jack is later arriving to arrest Tubbs – who is taken off to be questioned at the police station.
With Tubbs in custody, Martin persuades Ben to do the job with him but it's clear that he has another plan in mind.
By the end of the week, Martin is confident that everything with Ben is over – unaware that he has hugely underestimated the Walford bad boy.
Furious, Ben later goes to extreme lengths to prove he's not to be messed with, leaving Martin in terrible danger. Will he be alright? And how far is Ben willing to go?
EastEnders airs these scenes next week on BBC One.
