What happened on Emmerdale tonight? Ruby broke down at Anthony’s burial site and Kim played Joe
And April opened up to Rhona
Emmerdale tonight (February 26) aired the aftermath of Chas’ decision to go to the police. And while she was adamant it was the right thing to do, John halted their plans.
The episode centred around John taking the lead and making sure the group stayed together. But after he showed them where Anthony is buried, could things be worse for Ruby?
Elsewhere April began to open up to Rhona, who agreed to keep it between them. And Kim once again played Joe to find out what he is up to, as Charity is still convinced he spiked Noah.
So here’s a full rundown of what happened in Emmerdale tonight.
Chas’ plan is halted
Aaron didn’t like his mum’s idea to go to the police, worried it would throw John in the frame more than anybody else. But Chas seemed suspicious that he hadn’t shown them were the body was, and even queried his loyalty.
When Aaron headed home to question John about the body, John seemed hurt by the accusation. And evidently disliked that Chas doesn’t trust him. He reminded Aaron: “I put my life on the line to save your skin. Remember that.”
But it clearly struck a nerve as soon all of those involved in Anthony’s cover-up headed to the woods to meet him. And John took the lead. He informs them he wasn’t trying to manipulate the situation, but that the less they knew, the better. After explaining how the whole murder has impacted him, he outs Chas’ plans to the group.
John showed where the body was – and Ruby broke down
After Caleb and Cain let their (hypocritical) anger known at Chas, John takes control once again and informs them they need to stick together otherwise they all go down.
He then directs their attention to the spot in front of them – where Anthony is buried.
From that moment everyone agreed to take John’s advice and to trust him. But with all the speculation that he is Emmerdale’s next serial killer – is this a bad idea?
Back at home, Ruby gets emotional thinking that Anthony was buried there and that it’s her fault. But Caleb once again informs her that the only person to blame is her evil dad.
But at the end of the episode, Ruby went back to the spot and broke down in tears. Could she ruin the plan for everyone?
Joe is played by Kim
When Kim finds one of her listening devices in the bin thanks to Lydia, she realises that Joe must have been onto her plan. And immediately tries to think of a way to find put the truth.
She apologised to him, and admitted she had been spying on him because she was afraid she couldn’t trust him. But that she has realised he has nothing to hide.
Joe happily accepts her apology, and her extra workload, but fails to realise he is still being watched. As Kim now has Lydia working against him on the inside.
Elsewhere
April woke up with her first period since her traumatic birth experience. And when Rhona realised, she managed to get her to open up slightly. April explained it took her back to the birth, and asked Rhona not to tell Marlon any of it.
Away from that, Charity remained convinced that Joe was the one who spiked Noah – and confided in Mack. But he kept reminding her that her judgement is clouded when it comes to Joe and that she doesn’t have any proof. With Charity more sure than ever – will she get the proof she needs?
