The village grieved in Emmerdale tonight

As a new dawn broke in the village, Charity watched as the limousine was taken away on the back of a lorry. Mack was on hand to reassure her that it hadn’t been her fault, but the three deaths weighed heavy on her conscience.

In the hospital, Pollard was desperate to get Jacob back home so he could begin grieving properly. Later, in the cafe, Sarah filled him in on what had happened with Noah.

Meanwhile, at what should have been their new home, Matty sobbed over a picture of Amy. Kerry found him in a state of devastation over Amy’s death, grieving the family they’d been about to start.

Elsewhere, Vanessa broke the news of Suzy’s death to Johnny. Thoughts of her own mortality running riot, Tracy spoke of how last night’s experience had made her wish that Nate were there. Oh, if only you knew, Trace…

And, later that night, as Vanessa continued to mourn, Tracy decided to give Nate a call. Going straight through to voicemail, she left her ex a message, filling him in on what had happened over the last few days.

Meanwhile, at the lake, a sinister hooded figure stood watch over the water. Beneath the surface, poor dead Nate remains, no closer to being found.

Kyle learned the truth about Cain and Ruby

Kyle found Cain asleep on the sofa. Having just lost his mum, he was worried that sick Moira would be next. She reassured Kyle that she was going nowhere, but he’d picked up on the atmosphere between the pair, and Moira was no closer to forgiving her cheating husband.

Later, in the cafe, Mack confronted Cain over the affair. Unaware that Kyle had been in earshot, Mack unwittingly spread the village’s hottest piece of gossip – and the youth suddenly realised why Cain was in the doghouse.

Cain and Mack tried to spin their way out of trouble, but it was too late – and the arguments and sleeping on the sofa all began to make sense. Refusing to go home with Cain, Kyle stormed over to Matty and Kerry, begging for a place to stay.

The grieving mum and husband were in no place for house guests though, and Moira was forced to admit that Cain had cheated on her as she picked him up.

Later, In the pub, Chas had some choice words for self-pitying Cain, who promptly headed off to do something stupid.

Caleb tried to build bridges

Caleb was feeling hopeful about the future, although he was worried that Cain and Aaron might have swapped notes on his plans to frame Cain for Anthony’s murder. Just then, Steph walked in, with more unpleasant words for her parents.

Caleb tried to talk her around in the cafe, making it clear that the blame was entirely on Cain for taking advantage. Back home, he entreated Ruby to talk to Steph, encouraging her to tell her the full truth about what Anthony had done.

He then left again, on mysterious business. Possibly joining Cain in doing something stupid?

Noah tried to piece together the past

In the hospital, confused Noah tried to make sense of his fractured memories. Still reasoning that someone had spiked him, he shared his suspicions with the police, who promised to question Jacob’s mate.

Arriving back in the village, he was confronted by Jacob himself, who blamed him for his mother’s death – accusing him of being on drugs and lying about it to cover for the mess he’d caused.

Charles had the idea of arranging a vigil for the deceased. Can he bring the village together in their time of need?
