What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Flash-forwards sealed Anthony’s grisly end and Caleb looked suspicious
His days are numbered
Anthony doesn’t have long left as flash-forwards showed his bloody body lying on the floor in the Depot in Emmerdale tonight.
And, a certain someone (cough, cough, Caleb) looked rather suss as he lured Anthony into his car with a gun behind his back.
Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Monday January 20.
Flash-fowards revealed a grisly death in Emmerdale tonight
Chas let Cain in on Ruby’s secret
Chas was clearly struggling tonight after working out who Steph’s biological father actually was last week.
Cain (obviously worried that Chas had rumbled his fling with Ruby) was desperate to understand what was troubling his sister. When he realised the secret was to do with Caleb, he really started to sweat.
Chas then started linking everything back to Aaron’s experience with Gordon, which is what then made Cain add everything up and come to the truth about Ruby, Anthony and Steph.
Nicola and Laurel teamed up to take on Anthony
With Nicola enlisting Anthony to tutor Anthony, she decided to leave them to it whilst she headed to work. But, her shift wasn’t very long at all as after Chas filled her in on Anthony’s true nature, Nicola legged it back home and made sure her daughter was safe.
Sending a really confused Angelica off to her exam early, Nicola then confronted Anthony. When he suggested that Ruby was lying about everything, Nicola pulled out her phone to call her so that she could hear her side of things.
But Anthony soon showed his true colours and wrestled with Nicola to grab her phone. But, as luck and great timing would have it, Laurel was popping into Nicola’s for a cuppa and saw the whole commotion go down.
In true Cluedo style (it was Laurel, in the Kings’ living room, with a candlestick), Laurel whacked Anthony on the head unconscious. But… he got right back up alive and still kicking.
Disorientated, Anthony wandered off into the village with a bit of a bleed at the back of his head, with Nicola and Laurel rushing off back inside the house to conjure up a way they could avoid prison.
Fortunately for them, Anthony explained the gash as being the result of having one too many the night before.
Caleb had a plan for his Father-in-Law
Flash-forwards at the start and end of the episode saw the end of Anthony as Ruby’s abusive father suffered his demise.
A bloody tooth could be seen on the floor of the Depot, with Anthony’s lifeless and bloodied up body being shown at the end of the episode.
And… it doesn’t look too good for Caleb in the grand scheme of things. He’s looking a tad suss (okay, a huge amount of suss.)
With Anthony feeling all sorry for himself on a bench outside, he planned on meeting Steph at the Depot. But, that’s when Caleb pulled up and tried to act like Anthony’s best mate.
How could Anthony possibly refuse the offer of a lift from kind and generous Caleb who had no ulterior motive whatsoever?
How was he to know that Caleb had a gun up his back, ready to get revenge for everything he did to Ruby? Well… it’s unclear whether Caleb finishes Anthony off, but he’s definitely not planning on having a coffee and a chat with him, that’s for sure.
Keeping the peace at Home Farm in Emmerdale tonight
Kim and Joe remembered Graham
Poor Graham died in 2020 at the hands of Pierce Harris. And now, five years later, on the anniversary of his death, Graham was remembered by both Joe and Kim.
At the graveyard, Kim mourned Will whilst also remembering Graham with Joe. Joe then proved that he was there for Kim, giving her some words of wisdom… but, we still don’t trust him.
“You’re Kim Tate. You’ve got an empire to run.” Wise words. Maybe Kim will finally remember who she is and reclaim her power. She’s got the hat, now where’s the rest?
Dawn had her doubts
Kim headed back home after chatting with Joe and decided to offer Dawn a job working full-time at Home Farm Estates. Quite the offer considering the terms Kim and Dawn have been on recently.
Dawn was thrilled but then started to suspect that Joe might’ve been behind the whole idea. He’d be her boss… That sounds like a right recipe for disaster!
Joe gave Noah a gift in Emmerdale tonight
With Charity out and only Noah home, Joe turned up and presented him with a gift. His dad’s watch.
It was apparently the only thing Joe had left of his dad, but he was prepared to hand it over to Noah in a bid to get closer to him. Must’ve been an emotional moment for him.
Noah vowed to wear it all the time but he clearly hasn’t thought that one through. What will Charity make of it when she spots it on his wrist? We can only imagine.
