Emmerdale's April, Ross, green EI banner

Tonight in Emmerdale, Noah had a chilling memory from the night he was drugged. After questioning if Joe Tate had been there, Ross took matters into his own hands and kidnapped Joe.

Elsewhere, April Windsor made a big decision about her stillborn baby.

Here’s a full rundown of what happened in Emmerdale’s hour long episode tonight (Thursday, February 27).

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: The mystery with Joe continued

While talking to Noah, Joe said: “All this hassle is just temporary. You just gotta get it over with.”

This caused Noah to have a flashback to the hospital on the night of the limo crash, where a doctor asked “Are you sure you want to go through with this? It’s not too late to back out now.” Joe was there where he said: “We’ve come this far. Just get it over with.”

Noah then asked Joe if he was there on the night he was spiked, describing his memory of ‘something like a hospital.’

Joe denied all knowledge and said that being ‘injected’ with drugs must have messed with his memory.

Charity then told Ross that it was weird that Joe said ‘injected’ when no one knows that’s what happened to Noah. 

Later, Ross threatened Joe and took him to a barn and demanded to know what Joe did to Noah. He held a needle with drugs in and threatened to use it on Joe if he didn’t talk. 

Joe then showed Ross boarding passes on his phone and said he was actually in the air the night of the limo crash. Hmmmm…

Ross left Joe locked in barn ‘for the LOLs’ but Joe managed to escape and get home. After calling someone for help, he passed out on the stairs.

A man arrived and helped Joe upstairs saying, ‘let’s do this.’ The man later asked Joe: “Do you think you’re fit to be conducting however many other covert operations in addition to ours? Because I don’t. I think it’s, erm, idiotic.”

The man then pointed at a case and said it’s not a long term plan. Joe said the long term plan they do have needs to hurry up, adding: “I’m not sure how much time I’ve got left.” What exactly is their plan?

April made a big decision in Emmerdale tonight

Marlon, Rhona and April met with the counsellor – Trina, where Marlon suggested they should register April’s stillborn baby’s birth. April remained reluctant though.

When alone with Trina, she admitted she felt guilty for not appreciating the nice house she has and admitted to missing her friends on the streets.

April later told Marlon and Rhona that she was ready to register the baby’s birth. She named her Rebecca after her late friend Becca.

Following that, April announced that she wanted to go back to school the next day. Is it too soon?

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Steph was suspicious of Ruby

Caleb couldn’t find Ruby. But we later saw her in the woods where her father is buried, talking to him . She screamed that she feels guilty and is a bigger mess than ever before.

Cain Dingle found her and Ruby told him she doesn’t know how to be normal about it.

Cain gave Ruby a lift home and dropped her off in the village so that no one saw them. However they were spotted by Steph – who just so happened to be standing in that part of the village.

Steph returned home and told her dad that Ruby is still seeing Cain. Ruby explained that it was innocent. But Steph knows something is up and is determined to find out

Elsewhere in the village

Cain continued to be hated and Kyle told him he didn’t want him at his football tournament. Later, Cain arrived home to see Moira and Caleb laughing. He commented that it looked ‘cosy,’which is rich coming from him after what he did with Ruby.

Meanwhile, Kim continued to be suspicious of Joe and brought Dawn into her plan, telling her to keep an eye on his shifty behaviour.
