1. An eerie flashforward in Emmerdale spoilers

The episode begins with a bloody tooth lying on the floor of the Depot. But exactly what events led to this?

Emmerdale recently released a trailer teasing the murder of vile Anthony this week. But just how has his tooth ended up in the Depot?

When we catch up to normal time, Steph is confused to see Ruby back home with Caleb. But she remains oblivious to Anthony’s past.

2. Chas gives Nicola a warning

When Nicola hears that Anthony has been left alone with Angelica, Chas immediately warns her to get home because he can’t be trusted around children.

Nicola rushes home and immediately puts a stop to the tutoring session. But Anthony is taken aback to hear she knows he is a danger to children.

Instead of listening and leaving, Anthony turns physically threatening. And that’s when Laurel arrives…

3. Laurel hits Anthony over the head

Anthony had spent the night on Laurel’s sofa as he is obviously no longer welcome at Caleb and Ruby’s.

So when he is trying to physically get Nicola away from him, Laurel arrives at the perfect time.

She knocks him on the head with a candlestick, leaving him lying there unconscious.

Later both of them are worried that Laurel’s actions are going to have disastrous consequences.

Cain has been worried about Chas as she has seemed really emotional about something. And with his and Ruby’s secret one night, he immediately thinks Chas knows about it. (We are all trying to forget, Cain.)

It takes him a while, but he eventually gets Chas to open up to him. And he is shaken to his core to hear the truth about Anthony and Ruby.

5. Aaron spots a tense exchange in Emmerdale spoilers tonight

With the truth about Anthony spreading through the Dingle’s, Aaron is reminded of his own history with his dad, Gordon.

And so when he witnesses Ruby and Anthony in a tense conversation, he immediately becomes unnerved.

But Caleb intervenes and orders Anthony to get into his car. But when he drives away, what does he have planned for his father-in-law?

6.  Kim and Joe bond

Away from the Anthony and Ruby drama, Joe continues to insert himself into Home Farm life.

He and Kim find themselves sitting together in the graveyard, and Joe is touched to realise Kim actually did care about Graham.

And while her grief of Will is still in its early stages, she admits Joe has been a big help.

Could this be a true bonding experience for the Home Farm icons? We still don’t know what really is going on with Joe…

Also in the village tonight, Kim gets an idea when she sees how busy Dawn and Billy are.

She suggests that Dawn should leave her job at the vets and instead work full time for Home Farm.

This seems to go down well. That is until Dawn realises that Joe will be her boss. And after their sneaky secret kiss, she starts to wonder if he was the one behind her job offer.
