EastEnders, fans are about to see the full extent of Carl White's manipulative nature.
As viewers already know, Carl (Daniel Coonan) is involved in a massive car accident next month after he convinces Phil Mitchell to team up with him for a dodgy deal.
Unsurprisingly, a scheming Carl has ulterior motives and only agrees to tell Phil all of the specific details when they are on their way.
With Carl deliberately driving recklessly, the two men soon have a close encounter with a lorry, which leads to a terrifying crash.
After Phil is thrown through the windscreen, he is left in a bad state and his life hangs in the balance.
However, Carl's condition looks more promising as he quickly regains consciousness and manages to free himself from the wreckage.

Carl tries to get out of the car.
When the emergency services and police arrive on the scene, a scheming Carl speaks to the officers and expresses surprise over how his brakes could have gone so quickly. This makes the police suspicious and they start asking questions.
Later, as news of the crash makes its way to Albert Square, the Branning family are busy celebrating Jack's birthday at The Vic.
Despite the worrying news, Max (Jake Wood) is determined to keep up the party spirit, which prompts some disapproval among the locals.
Unfortunately for Max, his good mood is short-lived as the police arrive to arrest him on suspicion of tampering with Carl's car…
