The drug running operation that’s gripped Albert Square reaches a bloody crescendo next week in EastEnders when the wheels finally fall off and both Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Okie Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) are forced to face up to the carnage they’ve caused.

With former hostages Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) and Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) now free, both still bear the deep scars the ordeal has taken on them and while Harry seeks solace in his family, Kojo is left panicked when he’s ordered to return to Ghana.

Elsewhere, Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) faces his day in court, Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) drops a bombshell and Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) continues to struggle in the aftermath of her brutal attack.

Is that not enough for you? ‘Course it isn’t. Here, have some juicy spoilers, as well.

Monday, November 10

There’s no welcome home for Ravi, as his feet are held firmly to the fire upon his return to the Square, garnering a cold reaction from Jack Branning (Scott Maslen). As those burned most by the drugs ring square up, with Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) railing at Harry, George Knight (Colin Salmon) and Nicola, Ravi ends up out in the cold when harsh truths are delivered.

Kojo, desperate to return home to his flat, manages to give George and Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) the slip, but runs straight into Okie.

Elsewhere, the day of Nigel’s hearing arrives and he and Julie (Karen Henthorn) share an emotional heart to heart, while Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) is sick of hearing about Zoe’s (Michelle Ryan) cat and heads out to party with Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton).

The drug ring saga reaches a blood-soaked climax, as Okie and Harry square off in a knife fight, the latter determined to protect Kojo. When Okie ends up stabbed, Harry tears his dad Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) away from a heart to heart with brother Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman), desperate for help.

Intuitive Honey picks up on Nicola’s conflicted mood and is floored by what she reveals, before she too is summoned by Harry in the aftermath of Okie’s stabbing.

Ravi’s pleas fall on deaf ears with Priya, who’s further angered following a confrontation with George. While Ravi begs, explaining he got into the drugs game to look after his family, George is horrified to find Kojo after the evenings events.

As Denzel Daynes (Jaden Ladega) and Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) lay into Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall), it’s shocking when Vicki steps in to defend him, though her mood changes when Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) reveals that he helped hide Joel Marshall (Max Murray). After she confronts Tommy later at the Vic, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) steps into the breach to calm things down.

The trauma of what happened to Kojo threatens to tear George and Junior apart, and the latter reveals that he’s planning to take a job in Dubai.

The tension continues to rise for George when he’s contacted by Kobina Asare (Jonathon Nyati), who demands that Kojo return to Ghana.

Thursday, November 13

While George desperately tries to fix things with Junior, things look set to explode when Kojo learns he’s to be sent back to Ghana. Attempting to bring piece to his uncle, and determined to find a way for him to stay, Junior heads off to find Ravi.

Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) notices Vicki’s struggle and takes her out for drinks, though Vicki is rattled by some inappropriate behaviour from a man.
