Ravi decides to move the whole operation to Kojo's flat, but Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) is horrified.

Priya confronts Ravi about letting daughter Avani (Aaliyah James) down, but their row turns unexpectedly passionate!

Ravi later promises Priya he'll find a legit way to get back on his feet, and the pair agree to give their relationship another go.

But financial strains cause Ravi to go back on his word, upping his drug dealing activities.

2. George Knight is on the warpath as Kojo Asare is arrested

On Kojo's birthday, Harry is tasked with keeping him out of the flat all day.

George and the Knights have celebration drinks for Kojo, who is excited that his brother is going to take him for a day out.

But when George gets side-tracked, Kojo goes home, finding Okie and his dodgy colleagues have taken over the flat.

Okie gives Kojo a pill, promising it will calm him down, but when George finds Kojo in a terrible state and realises he has taken drugs, he takes Kojo to Phil's house.

Then Jack arrives and, upon discovering that Kojo took drugs, he explains he must arrest Kojo!

George is convinced this is all down to Harry, and as he investigates, the ensuing confrontation drags Nicola and Gina (Francesca Henry) into the mess.

Ravi later orders Harry to get Kojo back to the flat and under their control, so Harry persuades Kojo to trust him and promises to protect him.

And will George uncover the true organ grinder?

They still have very different ideas on what's best for Nigel, but there's another distraction when Nigel accidentally leaves the coop open and Julie's cockerel escapes!
