Spoiler Alert for EastEnders – “George Asks Kojo For An Alibi”

In this tense EastEnders episode, George is clearly on edge as he grapples with the aftermath of Cindy’s attack and the growing suspicion surrounding his involvement. After receiving news that Cindy has made it through surgery but is in an induced coma, George struggles to process the situation. As he talks to his brother Kojo, George admits that he’s feeling lost and worried about the police investigation. The authorities are questioning everyone in Walford, and George knows it’s only a matter of time before they come to talk to him.

In a desperate attempt to protect himself, George asks Kojo for help: he needs an alibi. He explains that he doesn’t have anyone who can confirm where he was during the critical time of Cindy’s attack. He tells Kojo that he was walking alone after leaving the boxing gym, which could make him look suspicious to the police. George asks Kojo to back him up by saying they were together all night, offering him the same sort of protection he once gave to Cindy and Junior when they were in trouble.

Kojo is hesitant, sensing that George is asking him to lie, but George pushes him, reminding him of the lies they’ve told in the past to protect those they care about. He plays on Kojo’s guilt, reminding him of the wrongs he’s tried to make up for, and convinces him that it’s necessary to avoid a “miscarriage of justice.” In the end, Kojo reluctantly agrees, and George thanks him, assuring him that they have to stick together. As George prepares for the police’s inevitable visit, viewers are left wondering if Kojo will keep his word or if this web of lies will start to unravel.
