How will Ravi get out of this one?
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) has faced what could be his much-awaited comeuppance in the BBC’s EastEnders.
After Bernadette Taylor (Clair Norris) left the Square with the Panesar family’s money, Ravi found himself in financial trouble.
To make ends meet, the restaurateur spiralled back into the dark world of drug-dealing, opening up an operation.
Employing Tobias ‘Okie’ Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu), Ravi targeted Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway).
Things got even darker when Harry’s friend, Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho), got cuckooed by Ravi and Okie.
In this context, cuckooing refers to the practice of drug dealers taking advantage of vulnerable people in their crimes.
Despite Harry’s desperation to save Kojo from harm and prison, Ravi and Okie used Kojo’s flat to conduct their dealings.
Recent episodes of EastEnders saw Harry and Kojo held hostage by Okie in the flat.
Despite Ravi’s orders for Harry and Kojo to be released, Okie took pleasure in detaining and torturing the two men.
In the episode broadcast on November 4, 2025, Kojo and Harry managed to escape.
However, against Kojo’s wishes, his brother George Knight (Colin Salmon) called the police.
In the episode that was released early on BBC iPlayer on Wednesday, November 5, Kojo and Harry were rushed to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Okie panicked that the men would snitch on them to the police, but Ravi refused to help him, as he intended to focus on his family.
In the hospital, a furious George blamed Harry for Kojo’s condition and told him:
“I want you to think about this, Harry.
“If you have a shred of decency and Kojo really is your friend, then you will tell the police everything that you know, so this never happens to anyone like him ever again.”
George’s words rubbed off on Harry, and he turned Ravi and Okie over to the police.
As the episode ended, the police barged into the Panesar home and arrested Ravi for supplying controlled drugs, human trafficking for criminal exploitation.
As he was led away in handcuffs, Ravi declared his love to his horrified partner, Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy).
In upcoming episodes of EastEnders, Ravi will find himself facing the music as Priya angrily throws him out of the house.
Meanwhile, a furious Okie will hold Kojo at knifepoint when the mechanic insists on returning to his flat to live independently.
Harry will end up doing something terrifying as he accidentally stabs Okie while trying to get him to leave Kojo alone.
How will Ravi get out of this one, and will Harry regret grassing Okie and Ravi up?
EastEnders continues on Thursday, November 6, 2025, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
