Emmerdale tonight: Cain failed to believe that Moira was ill, Will lashed out at Billy, and Caleb relished in his successful schemes

Emmerdale tonight saw a worrying continuation of bad health for Moira as she regained consciousness after her seizure and her son said she smelt terrible (how charming!…)

Elsewhere, Jimmy and Will felt like schoolboys after they received an emergency visit from HMRC (yikes) which scheming Caleb arranged.

From menopause chats to trifles, here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday, August 28).

Emmerdale tonight: Moira’s health updates

Emmerdale tonight started with a lone Moira shivering on the floor of her barn. Despite being an animal lover, this appeared strange to her.

She could not move and reached for a horse blanket to keep away the chill. She looked exhausted despite the full face of makeup.

Later, she entered her home while Isaac ate his toast (there was no milk on the dairy farm for his cereal). Moira explained she was looking over one of their cows when Isaac insulted her scent.

Moira in obvious discomfort took a painkiller while Cain grew uncharacteristically angry (no surprise there).

Moira blamed her struggles on Cain for stressing her out and stormed from the house before he could get another word in.

Cain’s frustration

After (not) cooling off, Cain and Moira engaged in yet another argument. Cain revealed he spoke to Nate, to which Moira exploded. She insisted she was ill, potentially going through the menopause, and wouldn’t change for him.

Back in his stomping ground of the pub, Cain confided in Chas and admitted he blamed Moira for flirting openly. Chas openly defended Moira and told him she’s probably right about the illness.

Ever the voice of reason, Chas told him to calm down and talk to Moira properly.

Later, Moira took another wee kip on the sofa while Isaac looked after her and made his own dinner. He requested to eat out and Moira said she’d consider it when they got home, despite them both being there already.

Isaac laughed at his mum, but Moira looked distressed and worried when reality set in.

Will Isaac and Moira keep their pact and refuse to tell Cain about her so-called dizzy spells?

Diesel dilemma

As if Will hadn’t suffered enough negativity recently, a HMRC inspector turned up at the Haulage yard in the morning. She informed that she received reports of the highly-illegal red diesel. Will, although worried, was convinced he’s clean…

That conviction quickly turned into a hefty fine which could threaten to harm him and Jimmy. On a war path, Will decided to take his anger out on Billy.

He stopped him in the street and shouted at Billy for talking to him rudely. Tired of his rambles, Billy bit back and told him Dawn’s reaction was entirely his fault – and we loved the drama!

Scrambling for a retort, Will accused Billy of tampering with the diesel at the yard. That was one accusation too far for Billy and he stormed off.

Caleb the crook

The true villain revealed himself in a blue shirt. Caleb was delighted to hear Ruby had directed a HMRC officer to the yard to discover red diesel he himself had planted.

Ruby was equally delighted with her husband as the pair schemed to get the Haulage yard to themselves. She helpfully suggested Caleb should dress as the devil if he signs on Halloween.

The blonde bob must help with gossip, as Ruby happened to overhear Nicola and Jimmy discuss their new hefty fine. Her demands for coffee quickly died and she settled back to hear more about Jimmy and Will’s downfall.

Billy walked in for cake (yum) and Jimmy requested he made up with Will. Safe to say Billy refused and suggested Will was not the man they thought they knew.

Jimmy decided to go to the pub and Ruby was quick to share this with Caleb, who just so happened to be there when Jimmy walked in.

Dinner chats

Nothing appears to please Jimmy more than a steak and kidney pie with a pint, but tonight he loved the company of Caleb. Jimmy asked Caleb how he looked so wrinkle-free, to which Caleb was keen to share.

A few pints down and a trifle later, Caleb made more strategic chess moves to get information from Jimmy. Growing more frustrated at his partner Will, Jimmy jokingly offered Caleb half the business.

Caleb surprisingly refused and joked it was due to Jimmy’s complaints on Will. Jimmy joked he regretted making the comments.

He then told Nicola he was only half joking and would consider the sale.

Not yet, Caleb

Back at their flat, Ruby was shocked to hear Caleb didn’t jump at the fact he could buy the business. But Caleb revealed he wants to wear Will down before he takes it over.

The scheming couple laughed and decided to wait their plan out until they were certain they could get their own way.

Surprisingly, Caleb showed emotion and suggested he felt guilty about playing Jimmy. He is, after all, a good person…

Safe to say, Ruby quickly changed his mind.
