This week the action heats up in Walford, as Okie struggles to keep control over Kojo – as the vulnerable resident seizes an opportunity for escape!

**Okie** continues to use **Kojo** as a mule

But when Kojo tries to move Harry, the pair struggle to get the door. Will they get away? Will Okie return before they’re safe?

But rest assured, the rest of Albert Square is slowly clicking – when Phil tells George he didn’t arrange Harry and Kojo’s time off from the Arches, the concern George feels goes even deeper – and he teams up with Teddy to find his brother!

**Teddy** and **Junior** assess the facts!

Also this week, a hurricane arrives to upset the Panesar-Unwin adoption apple cart – as Eve‘s mum Norma arrives on Albert Square! Eve has always remained pretty cagey about her past and her family life – is Norma here to make amends or cause chaos?

Mother in law – **Suki** meets **Norma**!

And finally, next week things seem to be thawing between Kat and Zoe – as the pair eagerly continue their pursuit for her missing son. But is Zoe being completely honest now – and just who is stalking her and reminding her of the past?

Enjoy your Halloween week in Walford this week! We wonder if there’s a cheeky spooky twist in store…
