EastEnders fans relieved as drugs saga 'finally' ends with Ravi arrest... but Harry and Kojo aren't in the clear yet

Ravi faced the consequences of his actions

Ravi was arrested in EastEnders tonight (Wednesday, November 5), as Harry revealed to the police what had been going on at Kojo’s flat. With the residents of Walford in a state of shock from last night’s events, George pressured Kojo and Harry to come clean to the police.

While Kojo was keeping tight-lipped, Harry realised that he had to make amends for his part in Kojo’s torment. And, in spite of Nicola’s reservations, told the police everything.

They rushed over to Albert Square, where Ravi was planning a hasty exit. EastEnders fans rejoiced as Ravi was dragged away, marking the beginning of the end to this particular storyline.

Okie and Ravi’s panic as the police questioned Kojo and Harry

It was the morning after the night before, and with Kojo at the hospital, the family were reeling at what had happened. Spotting the commotion, Ravi arranged a meeting with Okie.

At the hospital, George made it clear to Teddy that he blamed Harry for what had happened. The police needed Kojo or Harry’s testimony before they could take action though, which George was determined to get from his brother.

Nicola arrived at the hospital to a cold reception from George. He was in a particularly self-righteous mood, although Nicola was quick to point out that Kojo had started it all by flushing the drugs.

Harry, meanwhile, was in recovery from his injury, and on methadone to assist with drug withdrawals. He was worried that Okie and his men would be back for him. Kojo, meanwhile, refused to talk to the police, out of fear that he’d be deported.

Outside, Nicola begged George not to rat Harry out to the police. Joining Kojo and the police in his room, George tried to get Kojo to open up to the police, but he refused – fearing for Goerge, Gina and the rest of his family’s safety.

Meeting with Okie, Ravi demanded to know what had been going on at the flat. Okie begged for a place to lay low, but Ravi refused, and stormed off.

It was time to get out of town, and he tried to convince Priya to join him on an impromptu getaway to Ibiza. She wasn’t having it though, and Ravi was forced to plan his exit alone.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Harry took a visit from a still-very-angry George. Ignoring the fact that Harry had been chained up to a radiator for the last month, he accused him of being as bad as Okie and his thugs.

George’s words ringing in his ears, Harry gave his statement to the police – naming names. All of them.

Bad news for Ravi, who had packed his bag and was ready to go. After bidding a tender farewell to Priya, he was about to leave when the police barged in, arresting him under charges of supplying drugs, human trafficking and exploitation.

A third exclaimed: “RAVI’S BEEN TAKEN DOWN YIPPEE.”

Priya kicks Ravi out in spoilers for next week

Ravi seems to be back on the Square in EastEnders spoilers for next week, facing a cold reception from Jack. And he’s not the only one, Priya is also demanding answers after his arrest.

She accuses Harry of lying about Ravi’s involvement, only for Nicola to drop a huge bombshell regarding the extent of his involvement. And, as Priya questions George over what’s happened, Kojo butts in blaming himself.

Heartbroken, Priya kicks Ravi out.  Ravi’s week goes from bad to worse when George arrives, furious at him for everything that’s happened. After George leaves, Ravi tells her that everything he did, he did to protect his family.

Meanwhile, Harry and Kojo find themselves in danger when Okie returns for revenge. Sneaking off from protective George and Junior, Kojo returns to his flat, where he’s intercepted by Okie.

After demanding to know what Kojo told the police, Okie orders him to text Harry. As Harry arrives at the flat, a fight breaks out, and he accidentally stabs Okie…

Will Okie survive?

What else happened in EastEnders tonight?

As the residents of Walford attempted to come to terms with the situation at Kojo's flat, another crime had occurred not too far away. A spot of catnapping, to be exact.

Having learned that Zoe had defaced the pictures herself, Kat and Alfie were dubious about her claims that someone had kidnapped her cat, Mini Mo. Is this another manipulative game from Zoe? Or has someone really taken her cat?

Elsewhere, Suki tried to change Eve's mind as she had second thoughts about the adoption. Also, Nigel attended his assessment ahead of next week's hearing.

Here's everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight.

Zoe's stalker struck again... or did they?

Kat and Alfie were still fuming at her for defacing the pictures, and were through with her claims that she was being harassed. Hoping to distract her, Freddie enlisted Zoe in shifting some of Big Mo's dodgy sparklers... which turned out to be incense sticks.

On the Square with Freddie, Zoe was shocked to get a message from her mystery tormentor. 'GUESS WHO HAS YOUR KITTY CAT?' the menacing text read. 'I DO.'

Naturally, after all that had happened, Kat assumed that Zoe had sent the text to herself.

Goodbye Norma

Following last night's fraught exchange, Eve had disappeared. As Suki fretted she returned home, stinking like a bottle of tequila. Norma was unconcerned by the state Eve was in, and headed off on a trip to Madam Tussauds.

Eve, meanwhile, was thoroughly rattled by Norma's cruel words. Before heading for her ships at Stacey's Baps, she informed her that the adoption was off.

Cornering Eve at work, Suki tried to convince Eve that Norma had been wrong, and that she was indeed a changed woman. But Eve remained firm in her refusal, and told Suki that she'd have to deal with it. Bumping into Lily, Suki enlisted her in changing Eve's mind.

At McKlunky's, Suki read out Lily's reference for the adoption board. Eve grew emotional at Lily's impassioned endorsement, and agreed to give the adoption another chance.

Afterwards, Norma returned home to find that her reference was no longer needed. It didn't take long for Norma to get mean and judgmental again, causing Eve to finally snap, and give her mother a piece of her mind.

As Norma revealed she still hadn't forgiven Eve for her sister's death (not that it had been her fault in the first place!) Suki stood by her woman, and gave Norma her marching orders.

Good riddance!

Nigel feared for the future

It was the day of Nigel's assessment, and he was feeling nervous about his future. He was joined by Phil and Julie as he was quizzed by his case worker - who wasn't exactly reassuring when they asked if Nigel faced a spell behind bars.
