What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Charles defeated, Nicky and Suni left

Emmerdale tonight it was a double bill of episodes which saw Charles confront Caleb – and then admit defeat. Also two exits aired as Nicky and Suni left the village.

Here’s a recap of tonight’s Emmerdale.

Caleb confronted by Charles

Charles was snoring his head off on Caleb and Ruby’s sofa and neither Ruby nor Nicky were happy about it at all. “Have you gone absolutely mental?” Nicky shrieked, waking Charles up. He had a point, but maybe he should have lowered his voice.

Later, Charles was telling Caleb how grateful he is for all his support. Then he spilt his coffee all over the rug and insisted on cleaning it up. But while he was getting a cloth he pocketed a letter he spotted.

Charles then insisted on driving Caleb into Hotten for his meeting. But in fact, Charles drove him down a country path into the middle of nowhere. Caleb started to get concerned – took him long enough!

Somehow he agreed to walk with Charles and they ended up deep in the woods. Caleb tried to leave, but Charles got aggressive and demanded to know what happened to Ethan. He had found an invoice from the garage dated the day after Ethan’s accident and deduced Caleb was involved.

Caleb feigned ignorance and tried to talk Charles down. But he was having none of it and wanted answers. Caleb then confessed he ran Ethan over. He claimed Ruby knows nothing about it.

Charles threatened to report Caleb to the police, but Caleb insisted he had a water-tight alibi and he would deny everything. As Charles pinned Caleb up against a tree in a rage, Caleb begged him to calm down.

Charles eventually lost puff and told him to stay away from him and his family.

Defeated Charles returned home with all the fight gone out of him. Caleb then tried to cover his tracks and get their stories straight. But Nicky refused to lie. So where do the Miligans go from here?

Matty confessed in Emmerdale tonight

With Matty was cowering in his prison cell as his cellmate did press ups, Robbo came in and started intimidating him. But Les defended Matty and told Robbo to get lost.

However later Les offered some wisdom that Matty would be better coming clean rather than sneaking off with the staff and raising suspicions. He thought Matty was on methadone, but Matty then decided to reveal his actual secret.

Les was actually really interested and asked a lot of questions. He offered his support, but warned Matty other people might not take it so well. Has Matty done the right thing?

Laurel told Jai they’re done

Laurel definitely had a heart attack and has undergone an angioplasty to widen the artery, which according to Nicola went well.

At the hospital, Gabby was quizzing Jai over why he and Laurel were arguing. But he wasn’t giving anything away. And when Laurel woke up he insisted he would do anything she needed to get her better.

He’d clearly forgotten her ultimatum, but Laurel hadn’t, especially when she realised he hadn’t told Suni. She insisted he had to do it today.

And when Suni came to visit Laurel Jai still couldn’t do it and so she told Suni everything instead.

As the fallout continued, Laurel confided in Nicola and said she didn’t think she could be married to Jai any more. He wanted to put it all behind them, but she had had enough: “I mean it this time. We’re done.”

Nicky and Suni left in Emmerdale tonight

As Jai begged Suni for forgiveness, Suni was not in a forgiving mood at all. “I’m done with you,” Suni told him.

He then returned home to Nicky and told him what had happened. He said he needed to get as far away from this place as possible and begged Nicky to come with him.

Nicky, who had been wanting to leave for ages, had a change of heart and said he couldn’t leave his mum! However after finding out Caleb had lied to Charles, Nicky said he was done.

He then agreed to leave with Suni. They packed their bags, and their snacks, and Nicky apologised to Charles. Ruby caught them leaving and begged them to stay. But Nicky wasn’t budging on his decision. They got in the car and drove out of Emmerdale.

So it’s bye bye to Suni and Nicky as they drove off into the sunset.

Emmerdale tonight: Mandy caused trouble

Mandy was in a state as the beauticians is quiet and she doesn’t have enough work. Paddy tried to cheer her up suggesting they set a wedding date. She didn’t seem keen, worrying Paddy.

Paddy then wanted to double date with Marlon and Rhona – something else Mandy did not seem happy with. Especially when she saw what games Paddy was planning on playing.

It definitely wasn’t a scintillating evening as Mandy drunk more and more and then wanted to dance instead of play. She went on to insult Rhona, telling her she was up tight. Not a great foursome, then.
