Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.
Emmerdale tonight: Tom destroyed evidence
Tom spotted an opportunity to get Isaac alone. He used intimidation techniques before Isaac informed him that the tablet was at home and he knew where the spare key was kept.
Later, Tom let himself in to Butlers Farm, but he had to hide when Matty came in. At one point Tom lifted a candlestick and prepared himself to hit Matty over the head with it – because that is how normal people react. Fortunately, Matty left after a call from Moira.
Meanwhile, Belle asked Moira again if she could remember what she’d seen before her seizure, but the answer was still a firm no.
Walking home, Belle run in to Tom. Despite telling him he was breaking his bail conditions, Tom wouldn’t let up and told her she’d be the one going jail, not him.
‘Think about it for a minute,’ he said. ‘I’ll spell it out for ya, shall I? Local vet, professional member of the community, clean reputation, no criminal record. Not to mention the fact that there is zero evidence… Let me tell you this. You’re going to get sent down for what you’ve done to me and then they’ll lock you up for a very, very long time. Just watch.’
Talking of evidence, having got the tablet back, Tom set about destroying it. But he didn’t do this in the privacy of his home, oh no, he chose to do it outside in the middle of the village where anyone could watch him – including his young cousin Carl, who had a front row seat from the window. But will it help Belle?
Charles and Jai clashed
Spotting Charles in the village, Jai couldn’t resist having a dig and quipped: ‘Managed to keep yourself out the congregation’s knickers?’
He also threatened to tell the bishop and insulted Laurel by suggesting she had a bit of a thing for vicars. Charles squared up to Jai, but they were stopped by Manpreet before things could get out of hand.
Manpreet then had her own thoughts to share with Charles and told him he should behave in a way befitting his position.
Later, Charles told Laurel that things were too complicated and that they shouldn’t see each other anymore. Laurel said that was fine – but her face didn’t get that memo and clearly said that she was absolutely not fine.
Emmerdale tonight: 1-0 to Kim
Will invited Jimmy round for a lads day to try and clear the air following their recent falling out.
Kim returned home and remarked that the place smelt like a kebab shop. Determined to annoy Kim, Will opened his can of beer and it fizzled all over the mirror. Will found this more amusing than perhaps a man of his age should.
But regardless, this is Kim Tate we’re talking about and nobody gets one over on Kim. Walking down the stairs dressed to the nines, she opened the door and let her financial advisor Peter in.
‘I’ll be late, so apologies for any noise later. Not sure I’ll be able to keep it quiet,’ she told Will, while Jimmy sat there catching flies.
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Arthur apologised to John for lying about sleeping with him. He said he did it as he wanted to seem mature. Laurel also apologised to John for not believing him.
But later at home, still reeling from being dumped by the vicar, Laurel told Arthur that an apology isn’t good enough and he needs to take responsibility for his actions.
Elsewhere, Billy gave Dawn some money, claiming it was from a client. But after she hugged him, he flinched in pain before it was revealed he had boxing gloves in his bag. He’s clearly hiding something and nothing stays secret in the Dales for long.
