The redpill-poisoned youth was arrested last night, as dad Ross learned what his son had done. Disgusted after finding the video of Joel’s attack on his computer, Ross shopped Joel to the police – with help from Tommy, who was helping him to hide out at the Slaters’ garage. Joel was reflecting on a hard day’s misogyny when the police barged in, arresting him. Enthralling stuff – and perhaps more so than poor Harry’s plight. Poor Harry’s all locked up this week, with Ravi and Okie holding him captive in Kojo’s flat while worried Gina and Teddy search for answers. Harry’s situation went from bad to worse last night… but some were more interested in Joel’s story.
