EastEnders spoilers follow for Wednesday’s episode (20 August), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn’t yet aired on TV.
EastEnders’ George Knight looks set to face huge danger, and tonight’s episode explains just why.
This week, Ravi allowed Okie to move their drugs operation to vulnerable Kojo’s flat. But Kojo came home unexpectedly and was overwhelmed by the dodgy dealings.
What to Read Next
To stop him from exposing the operation, Okie gave Kojo a pill to take. Things went very wrong, as George later found his brother lying unresponsive on a bench in the Square.
George took Kojo back to Phil’s house in today’s episode and allowed him to sleep off the effects of the pill. He called Jack round and explained the situation, but Jack said he had no choice but to arrest Kojo for possession of a Class A drug.

With his brother’s fate left up in the air, and the chance that he could be deported for his brush with the law, George urged Jack not to report Kojo. Jack conceded that if George discovered who gave Kojo the drugs by tomorrow, he would try to keep him out of custody.
Meanwhile, Okie told Harry that he gave Kojo drugs, leaving him devastated that his friend was in danger.
Nicola soon filled him in about what happened to Kojo and asked her son to meet him at the bar. But George became convinced that it was Harry who supplied him with the MDMA…

George violently confronted Harry at the bar, with the Knights and the Mitchells all getting involved. As the situation escalated, it came out that George had told Nicola about Gina’s previous drug habit, leaving his family feeling betrayed.
Sadly, George’s theory about Harry wasn’t enough, as Jack explained that he would still have to take Kojo to the station when he’s recovered.
In the aftermath of this huge clash, Harry raged at Okie and told him that he’d been accused of hurting Kojo.

Learning about George’s quest to get to the bottom of this incident, Okie vowed to get him off their case – and brandished the gun that he is carrying.
“If this Kojo’s brother becomes a problem,” he warned, “we’re going to have to make him disappear.”
Could George face deadly consequences for his investigation?
