by

Be aware: the following contains spoilers for the EastEnders episode airing on BBC One on Wednesday, November 5th at 7:30pm. You can also watch it now on BBC iPlayer.

Police have made an arrest in the EastEnders storyline after George Knight (Colin Salmon) reported his brother, Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho), for being involved in a drug operation.

Yesterday on the show, Kojo heroically saved his friend Harry Mitchell (played by Elijah Holloway) from a scary hostage situation. Harry had been held captive and drugged by the dangerous Okie Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) for several weeks.

Unable to walk, Harry urged Kojo to save himself before Okie returned.

Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) informed George about the situation. George insisted on calling the police, but Teddy cautioned that doing so could potentially put their families in danger.

Kojo burst in, urgently explaining that Harry was in trouble and needed immediate assistance. The three of them quickly ran to George Street, where Okie and his group were trying to force Harry into a van.

It didn’t take long for police sirens to fill the air – George had indeed called them. As the group scattered, Teddy shouted at Kojo to run.

Okay, so tonight’s episode really throws you right into the drama. We see both Harry and Kojo end up in the hospital, and Kojo is completely freaked out. He kept insisting he wouldn’t say anything to the police, even though they kept telling him he wasn’t in trouble. It’s a tense scene, and you can really feel his fear. It definitely sets up some interesting questions about what happened!

Following a thoughtful conversation with his brother, he finally confessed that Okie was involved.

Even though he hesitated, Harry gave the police some names of those involved. However, the police believed Okie wasn’t the mastermind and that someone else was pulling the strings.

Harry’s mother, Nicola (played by Laura Doddington), was shocked when he revealed the identity of the mysterious person – Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara). And viewers know Ravi is dangerous!

When I saw him back in Albert Square, you could just tell he was expecting the police to show up – he’d already packed a bag! It was so sad, because he told Priya he loved her, and that she was the only one he’d ever truly loved. It really pulled at my heartstrings.

Before she could question his sudden departure, the police broke into the Panesar home and arrested him.

How will Ravi wriggle his way out of this one?
