Sugdens v Kings in Classic Emmerdale spoilers

Andy and Daz decide to take revenge on the Kings as payback for them getting away with contaminating their water supply with antifreeze. They break into the Kings’ site office and destroy everything. Later, when Jimmy sees the devastation in the office, he vows that the Sugdens won’t get away with it. However, Matthew says he will deal with it as Jimmy messes up everything he touches.

Matthew congratulates Jack on the Sugdens having the last laugh by trashing the office and warns that they’re even now. A troubled Jack has no idea what Matthew is talking about, but he soon realises that his boys have been up to no good and he heads to Butler’s Farm to confront them. Furious with Andy and Daz, Jack makes them promise they won’t do anything like that again.

Meanwhile, Matthew is feeling the weight of responsibility. The environmental officer tells him that high concentrations of antifreeze were found in the soil on the development, but as there isn’t any hard evidence, nothing else can be done. Matthew is happy, but covers his smugness.

Katie is in a serious car accident

The police inform Andy that Katie has been in a serious car accident which killed her father. He heads to the hospital in Leeds where Katie is in a coma.

Andy spends the night at Katie’s bedside where a nurse tells Andy that Katie’s chances of survival are good. The nurse encourages Andy to chat with Katie as a familiar voice can be soothing, but Andy doesn’t know what to say.

Meanwhile, at Butler’s Farm, Jack updates Daz on Katie’s condition. While sympathetic, Daz wants to know what it has to do with Andy. Jack is firm that Andy being there for Katie doesn’t mean that she’ll be back in his life for good.

Back at the hospital, the alarms start sounding and Katie is rushed into theatre due to abdominal bleeding. After a tense few hours, Katie is brought back to the ward. Andy feels silly chatting away to her, but then she starts to wake up.

Katie is confused at first but is glad to see a friendly face in Andy. As her memories start to return, Katie asks after her dad. Andy tells Katie the truth – that Brian died in the car crash. Katie is devastated at the news and breaks down. Believing it to be her fault, distraught Katie clings to Andy.

Andy is happy to be Katie’s rock but is struggling to keep a lid on his feelings for his estranged wife.

Zara causes a stir

The new temp at the King’s office, Zara, causes a stir. But her obvious charms go unnoticed by Matthew. Jimmy, however, is enjoying having a pretty girl to impress and invites her to the pub to celebrate his birthday. In the pub with the whole King clan, Zara impresses Tom.

Carl tells Matthew that Zara would be good for him and he should move on. Thinking about Sadie, Matthew dismisses his brother’s advice and slips out.

Later, Matthew is alone at the office when Zara enters. Zara mocks Jimmy’s attempts to impress her and flirts with Matthew as she asks if there is a special lady in his life. Matthew is wary of the questions and, thinking about Sadie again, he brushes her off.

Alan continues to try and make amends with Steph

Betty suspects that Alan is lonely at Holdgate Farm and convinces Steph and Adam to help get Alan back to Keepers Cottages – where he belongs. Adam think it’s a good idea and they agree to help. Alan is surprised, but happy with the plan, although he is disappointed that Steph is still not ready to forgive him.

Alan pays Steph a visit and outlines a business proposal that will get guests to stay at the B&B. He does a big sell and suggests they could invest in extra staff for the B&B if Steph is amenable. Alan believes it’s a great opportunity for them, but stresses he needs Steph on board as a partner if they are to make it work.

Steph is unsure and Alan doesn’t want to push her, so he asks her to at least think about it. After some gentle persuasion from Adam, Steph agrees to host the Country Pursuits weekends with her dad. Alan is glad, but Steph makes it clear that they shouldn’t rush things on a personal front.

Chas is back for good

Chas tells Lisa that she is back for good because the Army have deemed her unfit for service. However, Louise is smug as Diane awkwardly informs Chas that they have enough staff.

Later, Chas is shocked to hear about Katie and rushes to the hospital.
