EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders‘ Jack Branning will take a huge risk in new scenes

airing next week, as his daughter Penny continues to blackmail him alongside Harry Mitchell.

After Jack sided with Chelsea Fox in the fallout following the club crush incident,

Penny decided to take revenge on her dad for seemingly abandoning her.

Although Harry was reluctant to get involved in her plan at first, he soon changed his mind after Jack punched him in a rage.

Jack later agreed not to push his investigations into Harry further, despite discovering some incriminating information about him. But Harry still refused to delete the video footage he bought from Tommy Moon of Jack punching him, claiming that he will hold onto it until he feels confident that Jack will leave him alone.

As next week arrives, Penny confides in Jack that she has received her court summons over the club incident. But when her dad is dismissive of the news, she secretly goes back to Harry and demands that he help her punish Jack further.

In response, Harry turns up the heat on Jack by revealing that he needs to complete an illegal job for him. Outraged Jack refuses, but Harry quickly reminds him that if he doesn’t go ahead with it, he can use the incriminating footage of Jack to destroy his police career.

Jack feels trapped by Harry’s threats, especially when he realises that he’s been instructed to collect a stolen car at the same time that his daughter Amy Mitchell has her physio appointment.

Jack chooses Amy over the job, but he still manages to make it in time to pick up the motor. What he doesn’t realise is that Harry is hiding nearby, taking photos of Jack as he gets into the dodgy car.

Arriving back in Albert Square, Jack gets distracted when he receives a text from Harry and he accidentally drives into the back of Reiss Colwell’s car, damaging the stolen vehicle.

Has Jack just landed himself in even more hot water?
