EastEnders’ George Knight (Colin Salmon) may live (or not) to regret his constant interference in Ravi Gulati’s (Aaron Thiara) drug operation, as the Square’s pre-eminent bad boy promises to deal with him, permanently.
Ravi is currently involved in more drama than he can handle, between maintaining his fledgling drug empire and being forced to work alongside Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) to dispose of the gun used in Zoe Slater’s (Michelle Ryan) shooting.
Viewers saw Ravi first swear off his criminal pursuits at the request of Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy), yet immediately break his promise by setting up a trap house.
When the police started to sniff around the original base, ‘business partner’ Tobias Okie Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) suggested cuckooing Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho).
Okie had occupied Kojo’s flat and set up shop from there, which lead to a terrifying incident during which Kojo took MDMA, supplied by Okie, and was found by brother George in a bad way.
Tensions have risen between Okie and Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway), the third piece of the drug operation, since the relocation of the drug den, with Harry torn over his best friend Kojo being taken advantage of.
Although Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) tries his best to calm his dad over his suspicions when he sees Okie entering Kojo’s flat. He’s unsuccessful, however, and George determines to find out what’s going on for himself.
As a distracted Harry tries his best to reassure Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) that he does have strong feelings for her, their moment is utterly quashed when George arrives.
Demanding answers from Harry and Kojo, George is unconvinced with what they tell him. Grabbing a set of keys, he storms to Kojo’s flat, but finds it spotless, as a suspicious Okie has already cleared away any indication of illegal activity.
George, however, demands a set of keys of his own, later reiterating to both Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Junior that he’s sure something is going on.
Okie and Harry inform Ravi of the days events as it becomes clear that George has become a problem for them and their operation.
Although when Ravi, undeterred, promises to deal with George himself, a look of terror spreads across Harry’s face.
Has George signed his own death warrant by becoming a thorn in the side of Walford’s most dangerous resident?
