What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Suzy died, Amy sank into the ice and Caleb lashed out

The aftermath of the limo crash was revealed in Emmerdale tonight (Monday, February 17) as one of the limousines crashed into an icy lake. As the women battled to escape the sinking car, Vanessa was horrified to realise that Suzy had died. But even worse was to come, as Amy sank through the ice while she and the others attempted to make dry land.

Elsewhere, the boys wrestled with the implications of Caleb’s accusation. As violence broke out between the warring brothers, Paddy struggled to hold the peace. And, having spotted Noah on the road, Charity set out in search for her son.

Here’s everything that happened on tonight’s harrowing episode of Emmerdale.

The two cars crashed in Emmerdale tonight

the action picked up at the precise moment both limos were thrown off course. Caleb was driving like a maniac, having just confronted Cain over sleeping with Ruby. In the other car, Liam was proposing to Chas.

As Caleb swerved to avoid an oncoming truck (and not the other limo, as it had initially seemed), Charity spotted Noah in the middle of the road, looking confused and disheveled. She too yanked the wheel, and all hell broke loose.

Within the two cars, loose glasses (and people) were thrown in every direction. Someone’s foot smashed down on Kerry’s ankle (ouch), Suzy bashed her head (double ouch) and Mandy nearly choked on her cocktail. And then it all went black…

The girls’ limo was in peril as the boys bickered

As those within both cars regained their senses, the aftermath was revealed. The girls’ limo had come to rest in the middle of an icy lake, with the hood sinking precariously below the surface. With the door jammed by the ice, Charity began to realise the gravity of the situation.

The other car, in stark contrast, was sitting pretty at the side of the road. As Caleb confirmed that a tyre had burst, Mandy relieved her stress by cracking open another canned cocktail.

With Caleb’s accusation looming large, a confrontation between the pair beckoned. However, for the women (and Liam), it was a matter of life and death…

Goodbye Suzy

In the sinking car, the survivors attempted to make sense of the situation. Kerry’s leg was seriously injured and Suzy was unresponsive. As Chas tried to keep those around her calm, Charity revealed that she’d seen Noah in the road.

As Vanessa and Liam determined that Suzy was no longer breathing, the limo began to sink further beneath the surface. Liam attempted to resuscitate Suzy, but was unsuccessful… and the ice crash claimed its first victim.

The women attempted to escape in Emmerdale tonight

As a panicked Tracy tried to flee, the women realised the extent of the peril they were in. They decided to make a break for it, one by one, reasoning that the ice couldn’t take more than one of them at a time. First up, Charity, who was desperate to find Noah.

Next up, Liam, who had bonked his head and was starting to act erratically. In spite of his injuries, the doctor made it safely to dry land – while those inside continued to suffer. Things weren’t looking good for Leyla, who seemed to be hiding a lot of blood under her glittery blazer.

Chas followed Liam to safety, almost succumbing to the ice as it gave way beneath her feet. Thankfully, she managed to muster the courage to crawl to safety, reuniting with Liam on the shore.

With Chas safe and sound (relatively speaking), the women convinced Vanessa to go next. Bidding Suzy a painful goodbye, she headed off to the embankment. Just in the nick of time too, as Liam took a turn for the worse.

It was Tracy’s turn next, successfully making it off the ice, where Liam had passed out and was being attended to by Vanessa. But what did this mean for Amy, Leyla and Kerry?

Amy fell through the ice

As the three remaining women debated who should go next, Amy revealed that she and Matty were planning to adopt. Kerry and Leyla voluntold her to go next, sending her out onto the ice where she… promptly crashed through into the water.

Plunging into the icy depths, Amy bashed desperately against the ice – the flashforward’s mystery hand finally revealed. But Amy wasn’t alone beneath the water and, as she sunk to the bottom, she came face-to-face (or to hand, rather) with a dead body… and a wrist wearing a distinctive bracelet.

Amy struggled valiantly to get back to the surface but to no avail, her breath giving out as she pounded against the ice. Has the ice crash claimed its second victim?

Caleb lashed out at Cain in Emmerdale tonight

As the men stood outside enjoying the frosty air and atmosphere between Cain and Caleb, Mandy knocked back cocktails by herself. Matty questioned Cain over what had happened, learning that he’d cheated on Moira on the day of the operation.

While Cain struggled to justify his actions (as if he could), the other men shared their condemnation. Tempers boiled over and, as Paddy tried to keep Caleb from attacking Cain, he scored a smack in the mouth for his trouble. In the episode’s only moment of comic relief, Mandy and Bear formed a fierce tag team in Paddy’s defence. “He’s a wrestler,” Mandy declared, “and I’ve seen Kung-Fu Panda seven times.”

Mandy’s wrath wasn’t reserved purely for Caleb though; she had plenty left over for Cain. The two brothers finally had it out, and Caleb revealed that he’d tried to frame Cain for Anthony’s murder. Cain fumed on his family’s behalf – “whatever you need to do, do it to me” – and Caleb duly obliged, pummeling him to the ground while the others looked on.

Charity searched for Noah in Emmerdale tonight

In the woods, Charity searched for Noah. She found him passed out, but was unable to call for help due to lack of phone signal. She was forced to leave him behind as she took off again, in pursuit of help.

But what’s happened to Noah… and will he survive being abandoned in the woods?
