This article contains spoilers for tonight’s EastEnders, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.
Tonight’s episode of EastEnders made clear that if George Knight (Colin Salmon) continues to seek answers over who supplied Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) with MDMA, he could find himself in grave danger. Or an actual grave.
Viewers have seen Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) bolster his drug operation, although the base of the enterprise has moved uncomfortably close to home.
Upon Okie’s (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) suggestion to essentially cuckoo Kojo, Okie has occupied his flat and set up show from there.
With Kojo visibly panicking at the fact that Okie had turned his flat into a trap house, Okie gave him an MDMA pill, hoping it would calm him.
When George found Kojo in a bad way, he set out to find the source of the drugs and make them pay.
Managing to keep copper Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) at bay following his threats to arrest Kojo for being in possession of class A drugs, George had Kojo’s best friend, Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) firmly in his sights in tonight’s episode.
Confronting him in Harry’s Barn, George grips up a guilty Harry, who firmly denied being behind the incident. Though Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) manages to use some of George’s own words regarding daughter Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) and her own drug use to break things up.
George leaves a shaken Harry with a violent squeeze of his injured hand and a threat.
Returning to Phil Mitchell’s (Steve McFadden), George tells Jack that Harry is the source of the drugs, but, without proof, Jack is unable to take action.
Meanwhile, at Kojo’s, Harry laments to Okie about what’s happened with George.
Clearly rattled and scared of retribution from Ravi, Okie lifts his shirt to reveal a concealed gun and makes it clear to Harry: if George becomes a problem, they’ll have to remove him. Permanently.
