Down at the police station, Teddy told officers that he’d gone to the flat and found Okie there, with a knife. He said that he’d accidentally killed Okie in self defence when a fight broke out.

Meanwhile, back home, Nicola broke the news to Barney that Teddy had been arrested for killing Okie. With a visit from Billy and the family, Nicola managed to bring on board Phil’s lawyer, Ritchie, who promptly arrived at the station.

It wasn’t good news though. And, as Nicola tried to reassure the boys that everything would be fine, she took a call from Teddy. Broken-hearted, he informed her that the police were charging him with Okie’s murder.

Meanwhile, across the Square, George broke the news to Koko that Okie had been killed. As Kojo blamed himself for sending Teddy to the flat in the first place, George snapped at Junior for interfering, telling him that he should seriously consider taking the job in Dubai.

Tensions came to a head when Junior and George arrived to find Nicola at Phil’s place, discussing the Teddy situation. As Junior raged at Nicola for not protecting Kojo, George stepped in, demanding that his son back off.

Later, George tried to make amends with Junior at the gym. Junior threw it back in his face though, accusing him of still having feelings for Nicola. Once alone, George opened a message from Kobina – Kojo would have to return to Ghana.
