Meanwhile, a fuming Kojo returned from his daytrip to Luton, and Cindy spotted an opportunity in Lauren and Peter's troubles. Here's everything else that happened in EastEnders tonight. Vicki struggled with Joel With Ross exhausted with work, he tasked Vicki with dealing with the Joel situation. As she vented to Kathy in the cafe, she got a call from the school informing her that Joel had skipped school. Enlisting Kathy's help, they set out to intercept Joel and Tommy on their trip to Birmingham. On the tube, Tommy was stressing about lying to his mum. Vicki and Kathy arrived at the convention centre in Birmingham, where they utilised security to eject the boys from the premises. After dragging Tommy and Joel outside while an audience of little men with little, uh, you know-what's looked on, they returned home. In The Vic, a despairing Vicki turned to Julie for help. Kojo returned With Kojo still not back from Luton, a desolate Harry sat down for a drink with his mum at Harry's Barn, who was unconcerned for Kojo's welfare, but very worried about Harry's situation. Kojo finally called as Harry's panicking continued, from a payphone in Luton. When he returned he wasn't in the best mood, and raged at Harry for failing to protect him. He was just as miffed at Okie, although he and Harry remain powerless. Cindy took advantage It was Louise's birthday, and Lauren was dismayed to find that the present she'd ordered hadn't arrived yet. With the little man disappointed at the profound lack of a shiny new VR headset, Peter and Lauren were feeling the pressure - although somehow, it was Lauren who ended up shouldering the blame. Spotting an opportunity, Cindy suggested that she help out with childminding duties. The catch? It'd very much be a live-in position. Read more: Who’s leaving, joining and returning to EastEnders?
