Trouble is brewing for the Knight family next week on EastEnders, as George’s desperate attempt to protect his son Kojo ends in heartbreak and confrontation.

George’s Difficult Decision

In Thursday’s (November 13) episode, George Knight (Colin Salmon) tries to make peace with his eldest son, Junior (Micah Balfour), after weeks of tension. However, things spiral out of control when Junior discovers George’s secret plan — to send Kojo (Dayo Koleosho) back to Ghana for his own safety.

George believes that getting Kojo away from Walford’s growing chaos, including the fallout from Ravi Gulati’s (Aaron Thiara) criminal dealings, is the only way to keep him out of harm’s way. But the revelation doesn’t stay hidden for long.

Kojo’s Devastation

Kojo overhears their conversation and is left completely distraught. Convinced his family is trying to get rid of him, he panics and lashes out, declaring that he’s not leaving Walford. “This is my home,” he insists — a line that’s sure to strike an emotional chord with viewers who have watched his character’s turbulent journey unfold in recent months.

Junior’s Desperate Plea

Determined to keep his younger brother close, Junior steps in to calm the situation. He argues with George, insisting they can keep Kojo safe on the Square. In a surprising move, Junior even turns to Ravi Gulati — the man at the centre of the chaos — to plead for help.

Will Ravi agree to protect Kojo, or is Junior about to make things far worse for his already divided family?

Elsewhere in Walford…

In lighter scenes, Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) takes Vicki (Scarlett Alice Johnson) out for drinks in an effort to lift her spirits. But the evening takes a dark turn when Vicki spots a man behaving inappropriately towards a young woman. The moment triggers painful memories, and once home, Vicki breaks down in tears — hinting that she may be struggling with trauma from her past.

Meanwhile, over at The Queen Vic, Kat agrees to let Zoe install a new security system after recent unsettling events, signalling that tensions around the pub are far from over.
