Another week in EastEnders, another abundance of chaos and carnage caused by Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), as Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) tries any and everything to help get her wayward daughter back on track, but can she trust anything she’s says?
With Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) and Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) still trapped in Okie Okyere’s (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) trap house and at the mercy of the dangerous drug lord, Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) finally reveals the truth to George Knight (Colin Salmon). As they team up to save their family members, Kojo launches his own escape attempt, but can either of them outwit Okie?
Elsewhere, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) returns and immediately sets about trying to help Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley), calling in the big guns in the form of Ritchie Scott (Sian Webber), while Eve (Heather Peace) and Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal) plough forward with their adoption plans, though they meet a huge obstacle in the form of Eve’s mum, Norma (Jessica Turner).
Ready for all of next weeks tea from E20? Let’s spill…
Monday, November 3
Kat tries her best to support Zoe, who’s meeting with her private investigator is a bust, and she panics to learn her cat has gone missing. While Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey) attempts to mend things between he and Zoe, Kat and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) are horrified to find their family photos defaced.
George is still wracked with anxiety over Kojo’s whereabouts, while at the flat, Okie forces Kojo to get further involved with the drugs. When Okie leaves, Kojo promises to Harry that he’ll help free him.
Elsewhere, Phil returns and is incensed to learn about what’s happened with Nigel, and believing her responsible, lays into Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn), though upon talking to Jack Branning (Scott Maslen), he reconsiders his attitude and contacts trusty lawyer Ritchie Scott (Sian Webber) to help Nigel, while Eve and Suki plan to ask Eve’s recently arrived mother, Norma for a reference to back up their adoption application.
Tuesday, November 4
Terrified at what could’ve happened to Harry, Teddy tells George and Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) about Kojo’s cuckooing and the drug operation that’s been running from his flat. While George goes to call the police, Teddy stops him, fearing it could lead to Kojo’s arrest. In the flat, Kojo tries to rescue a worst-for-wear Harry, who encourages him to escape while he has the chance.
Kat endeavours to sell her share of the limo business to financially back Zoe’s search for her son, while Bert and Ernie (Elliot and Cody Briffett) give Alfie food for thought, leading him to confront Zoe over what happened to the pictures, leading her to admit she defaced them.
Elsewhere, Norma’s visit falters when she questions Eve’s suitability to be a parent, while Nigel is hit with the grim reality that he could be facing prison.
Wednesday, November 5
Defeated by her mum’s harsh words, Eve decides to withdraw from the adoption process, saddening Suki. Unable to convince Eve to change her mind, she seeks out Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) to help her.
Kat is spinning over the revelation that Zoe defaced the pictures, and both she and Alfie struggle to believe it’s not another one of her games when she receives a mysterious text from someone claiming to have her cat.
Phil and Julie stand alongside Nigel as he attends his medical assessment in relation to the charges he’s facing following the accident.
Thursday, November 6
Deeply concerned about Zoe’s seemingly spiralling mental state, Kat organises a meeting with her and Anthony, though Zoe is unreceptive and later, causes another ruckus at the re-scheduled Queen Vic quiz night.
When Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) tries to mend her relationship with George, he’s uninterested and officially finishes things between them and her day gets worse when she receives an unwelcome surprise.
Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) and Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) grow suspicious of Anthony, though are seemingly placated when he tells them he’s gotten a job at the GP surgery, though a phone call he makes later throws everything into doubt.
