\t\t\"Phil,
\n\t\tVicki Fowler breaks some big news to Barney Mitchell next week (Picture: BBC\/Jack Barnes\/Kieron McCarron)<\/p>\n

Vicki Fowler<\/a> (Alice Haig<\/a>) stuns Barney Mitchell<\/a> (Lewis Bridgeman<\/a>) with a shocking confession in EastEnders next week.<\/p>\n

A wild set of episodes for the Mitchells kick off when Zack Hudson<\/a> (James Farrar<\/a>) puts the wheels into motion for his escape plan.<\/p>\n

Viewers of the BBC<\/a> One soap have seen him grow desperate to form a relationship with Barney, who is still unaware that his real father is not Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian).<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite the constant threats from Nicola (Laura Doddington)<\/a>, it seems that Zack won\u2019t stop until he gets what he wants. Vicki and sister Sharon<\/a> (Letitia Dean<\/a>) tried to warn him, but he clearly thinks Barns\u2019 is worth the risk.<\/p>\n

In upcoming scenes, he asks Ravi Gulati<\/a> (Aaron Thiara<\/a>) for a loan so that he can flee the area with Barney. Ravi is spooked by the suggestion and suggests that Nicola shouldn\u2019t be messed with.<\/p>\n

He then tells Zack that she recently asked him to move a dead body.<\/a><\/p>\n

With nowhere left to turn, he reveals all to Linda Carter<\/a> (Kellie Bright<\/a>), who implores him to go to the police if he wants to protect Barney. When he makes his way to the station, the detective thinks that they have enough information to arrest Nic.<\/p>\n

Later, Zack notices Harry\u2019s reaction to Nicola\u2019s arrest, and decides that the time has come for him to reveal Barney\u2019s paternity to someone else \u2013 and hopes that he will join in on his plan to get the teen to safety.<\/p>\n

When Nic is released, Harry decides that he\u2019s going to spill Zack\u2019s secret to Teddy. <\/p>\n

Uh-oh.<\/p>\n

Nicola, the schemer that she is, refuses the acknowledge what has been said \u2013 but Teddy won\u2019t have it. He continues to press her for the truth, and as an argument breaks out, Harry rushes in with the revelation.<\/p>\n

He tells them all about Zack\u2019s plan to take Barney<\/a>, and takes desperate action to stop him. Bundling Zack into the boot of a car, he drives off into the distance.<\/p>\n

Teddy worries about what his son intends to do, and intercepts a cinema trip attended by Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley), Honey and Billy Mitchell (Emma Barton and Perry Fenwick)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

He tells them to give him a lift in the same direction, and the group charge away to try and stop Harry.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, things soon take a turn for the worse. A car veers off the road and plunges into a freezing cold lake<\/a> \u2013 with the survivors scrambling to try and save those who are trapped in the sinking vehicle.<\/p>\n

However, a much bigger horror is erupting back in Walford.<\/p>\n

As news reaches the victims\u2019 families, Vicki decides to take matters into her own hands by revealing a shocking truth to Barney.<\/p>\n

Has she told him about his paternity?<\/p>\n
