Tension is set to explode in EastEnders next week when Kojo Asare finally discovers the horrifying truth about his best friend Harry Mitchell’s captivity — and makes a desperate bid to save him. But in a shocking twist, his rescue plan forces him to make an agonizing decision that could cost Harry his life.

Kojo Learns the Truth About Okie

After weeks away in Cardiff, Kojo returns to find Harry in a dire state, chained and frail inside Okie Okyere’s flat. Having been manipulated by Okie into helping with his growing drugs operation, Kojo is horrified when he finally sees the full extent of Harry’s suffering.

“Poor Kojo is unflinchingly loyal to Harry, so of course he doesn’t want to abandon him,” an insider reveals. “But with Okie set to return at any moment, Kojo knows he has to act fast — or they may never get another chance.”

The Heartbreaking Dilemma

Seizing a fleeting opportunity, Kojo finds the key to unlock Harry’s chains and urges him to move. But after weeks of abuse and drug exposure, Harry is too weak to stand, let alone run. Realizing the danger, Harry begs his friend to save himself while he still can.

Torn between loyalty and survival, Kojo hesitates. “Harry knows they only have a few precious moments before Okie comes back,” says the source. “He insists Kojo go — even if it means facing Okie’s wrath alone.”

Growing Concern in Walford

Meanwhile, back in the Square, suspicions begin to mount. Phil Mitchell’s return and George Knight’s discovery that Harry’s supposed “time off” was never approved send alarm bells ringing. At the same time, Teddy confides in George about the drugs trade running through Harry and Kojo’s flat.

George is horrified and wants to contact the police — but Teddy stops him, warning that Kojo could be implicated if the truth comes out.

Can Kojo Save Himself — and Harry?

As Okie’s shadow looms larger, Kojo must make the most painful decision of his life: flee and alert someone before it’s too late, or stay and risk both their lives.

Whatever happens next, one thing is certain — the aftermath will change both Harry and Kojo forever. With the walls closing in and loyalties tested to breaking point, EastEnders is gearing up for one of its most intense and emotional weeks yet.
