What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Ross attacked Will as Kim set a sinister ultimatum
Will was seriously injured
Emmerdale tonight saw Kim Tate set her latest plan into action – ridding herself of husband Will by setting Ross Barton after him. However, Ross got more than he bargained for in Will, and the older man fought back.
As the pair struggled, Will fell and bashed his head. Has Ross gone and killed Will?
Elsewhere, Ruby-Fox Miligan struggled to hold it together as a furious Cain ordered her away from the hospital. And, with Cain also struggling to cope, can the pair continue to keep their tryst a secret?
Here’s all that happened on Emmerdale tonight, Friday November 22.
Emmerdale tonight: Ross tried to steal Kim’s car – and she turned the tables
With the alarm blaring across the dales, Lydia stumbled on to the scene as someone attempted to steal Kim’s car from outside of the Hide.
As Lydia called Kim, the hooded figure fled before he could be caught. And, if you thought the wannabe car thief looked a little like Ross Barton, you’d be right.
But first, Kim accused Will of grand theft Emmerdale. Smug Will informed her that he had no need to do so – presenting her with evidence of all the offshore accounts and undeclared properties she’d been hiding from the tax man. It quickly became clear that he was planning on blackmailing Kim into either taking him back or giving him more than the £100k she’d originally offered.
Later, Kim reviewed CCTV footage of the attempted car theft. Zooming in, she uncovered the would-be thief’s identity – Ross Barton.
Heading over to the farm, she surprised Ross at home and laid out some demands of her own – get rid of Will, by any means necessary.
Will, meanwhile, was headed home after a spot of babysitting for Billy and Dawn. As he headed back to his van, Ross leapt into action, bundling him into the back and smashing him in the face.
As a fight broke out, Will fought back, stumbling backwards and smashing his head on a rock. Ross looked on in horror as Will lay unconscious on the ground. What has Ross done?
Things were awkward between Ruby and Cain
Having found an empty box of emergency contraceptives in the bin, Caleb told Ruby that he planned to confront Steph over her bedroom antics.
Desperate not to make Caleb suspicious, Ruby urged him to keep quiet, defusing the situation for now. Full of good ideas today, he then suggested that they visit Moira at the hospital.
Meanwhile, things were awkward between Cain and Matty, who still hadn’t forgiven him for going AWOL during Moira’s surgery. And, as Ruby and Caleb arrived, things soon got even more uncomfortable.
Packing Cain and Caleb off to fetch some tea, an upset Moira questioned Ruby over Cain’s recent behaviour, telling her how worried she was that her husband might have gone off the rails while she was otherwise occupied. “You’re a good friend, Ruby,” a teary-eyed Moira told her.
Cain, meanwhile, wanted rid of Ruby – and told her in no uncertain terms to clear off. Making a transparently rubbish excuse to Caleb, a shaken Ruby slunk out of the hospital.
At home, as Ruby opened a bottle of wine, Steph took the moment to bond with her mum. As they looked through the memory box together, Ruby grew upset, and admitted that she’d been a terrible mother. Is it all falling apart for Ruby and Cain?
Tom got the cold shoulder
Tom might be back at work at the vets, but he was no closer to winning his co-workers back. As he shared lunch with Amelia in the cafe, she noticed the distain with which Rhona and Vanessa treated her controversial boyfriend.
“Why is everyone being mean to you?” Amelia asked, as clueless as ever.
Back at work, Tom listened in on a private conversation between Vanessa and Rhona through the door. “You are aware that I can hear everything in here, right?” he snapped, barging in to confront the two women. “I’m going nowhere,” he huffed.
After work, Amelia popped around for a visit, even though Tom clearly wasn’t in the mood. Never one to read the room, Amelia persisted – and was horrified when he snapped at her in spectacularly cruel fashion, telling her: “You sound like a hooker.”
Eagle-eyed Nicola watched Amelia’s tearful exit with interest, demanding to know what Tom had done to her. Tom King: the walls are closing in!
Also on Emmerdale tonight: Charity got jealous
Between trying to steal Kim’s car and beating up her husband, Ross also found the time to flirt with Steph in the Woolpack. As Chas and Charity watched from behind the bar, Charity’s interest was piqued.
“Are those two an item?” she asked Chas, shooting daggers at Steph. Is that a hint of jealousy we’re sensing, Charity?
