The situation at the Mitchells’ overshadowed one character’s exit from Walford, as Junior packed his bags and headed back to Dubai. Thankfully, he managed to secure Kojo’s future before leaving, reassuring George that he’d be safe and sound on Albert Square.

Elsewhere, Vicki struggled with her pain after the nameless men of Walford triggered her trauma again. Meanwhile, Zoe made a move in the right direction.

Here’s everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight.

Junior left Walford

Junior’s bags were packed, and he was ready to leave for Dubai. George attempted to make amends with Junior before he left, but the pair were soon at again at each other’s throats again.

Overhearing, Kojo panicked, and ran to find Harry. Junior found him outside, banging on the Mitchells’ door, refusing to go back to Ghana.

Back home, Junior tried to talk George out of it, but he was convinced that sending Kojo away was in his best interests. Having gotten nowhere with his dad, Junior went to see Ravi instead.

He demanded that Ravi put the word out among his people that Kojo would be left alone from now on. Nursing a black eye and a guilty conscience, Ravi acquiesced.

Afterwards, Junior paid his dad a visit at the boxing gym – where George was busy making his loud puffy noises – and assured him that he had Ravi’s word that Kojo would be safe. Once again extending the olive branch, George apologised for his poor parenting over the years, and the men finally set aside their differences.

Cindy returned to Albert Square just as Junior was packing his bags into his car. Revealing the news that he’d be headed back to Ghana, the pair shared a warm goodbye before he bade farewell to the rest of his family – gifting Kojo his swanky car on the way out of the door.

Bye Junior!

Vicki’s trauma resurfaced

In the café, Vicki’s trauma resurfaced when she spotted one punter watching a Drake Zagan video. Shuffling Vicki to The Vic, Kathy attempted to take her mind off things by heading to a swanky function at Harry’s Barn.

The good mood didn’t last long though, and she was soon set off again at the sight of a man getting leery with one of Chelsea’s punters. Back home, she broke down on the floor, overwhelmed with thoughts of Joel, and her ordeal.

Kat and Zoe

Still feeling vulnerable, Zoe tried to talk Kat into installing a security system at The Vic. Alfie was more dubious, but Zoe soon managed to win him over by fixing the beer pubs.

He’s still not buying her innocence after everything that happened last week though – Zoe’s got a long way to go, if she wants to win back her family’s trust.
