Kojo's flatmate, Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway), is tasked with keeping him occupied while the Knight family plan a party at the Vic.

Kojo is excited when big brother George (Colin Salmon) plans to take him out for the day to celebrate his birthday.
But when George gets sidetracked, Kojo heads home where he finds his so-called "friend" Okie and his acquaintances have taken over the flat...
Okie tries to get the situation under control by offering Kojo a pill that will calm him down.
But Kojo quickly falls into a terrible state...

They both accompany Nigel to a medical appointment for an assessment of his dementia.
But he soon starts to get stressed out and overwhelmed by their continuous sniping...
