Emmerdale may have teased what could lead to Al Chapman and Cain Dingle's reported car chase stunt later this year.
Spoilers for next week on the ITV soap reveal he targets Cain's younger sister Belle, with him firmly up to his old tricks again.
Belle will not see it coming, despite his shady past, as she willingly delves into her future plans - and a possible money-making new plan for herself.
Of course broke Al will attempt to steal the ideas all for himself, not caring who he betrays in the process.
It all kicks off next week when Belle decides a change of scenery is due, and a change of career is just what she needs.
After months of working for Eric Pollard at the B&B, she realises it's not what she wants to do with her life, dissatisfied with her work there.
Dreaming bigger, she decides to plan a career that she can carve out for herself, that will hopefully set her up for her future.
Al, meanwhile, is struggling to find work after his drama with the Dingles and the pub.
Viewers will remember, amid his long-running feud with Cain, he recently encouraged Chas and Marlon Dingle to allow him to invest in the pub, giving him a share of it.
What they didn't know was he was planning on claiming the venue for himself so he could turn it into a new housing development.
The aim was to make things so bad for Chas and Marlon, with the pub already struggling financially, that they would sell it to him and a guy he owed a lot of money too.
But he could not pay off the debts when the deal fell flat, thanks to Cain, and the pub instead went up for auction - later bought by Charity Dingle and Ryan Stocks.
While it's worked out for the family, Al is now jobless and moneyless, and a string of job applications have all been rejected.
So when he hears what Belle is thinking and realises it could work, he betrays her without a thought.
As she goes into detail about what she thinks could work and her ideas for a business, she is completely unaware he is paying full attention - and not just listening.
It soon becomes clear that he's trying to steal them for himself, but will he succeed and how will Belle react?
Some of the cast were recently pictured filming a car chase which reportedly involves Cain and Al, as their feud reaches new heights ahead of the show's big 50th anniversary.
