EI comp: Sarah worried and Dylan smiling with EI banner

In Emmerdale on Wednesday (March 5) Marlon jumped to conclusions about Dylan, before realising he was massively wrong. And Jacob lost his temper at Sarah, who had a pregnancy test in her bag.

Elsewhere the mystery of Manpreet’s texts continue as the girls of the village paid tribute to those they lost in the Woolpack.

And Cain continued to get grief from Matty, who was adamant that he doesn’t deserve Moira’s forgiveness, or to be at Amy’s funeral.

Read on for a full recap of Emmerdale for Wednesday March 5.

Dylan gets another day in the village

Marlon reluctantly let Dylan come along to his, April’s and Paddy’s lunch at The Hyde, after giving him a list of hostels to spend the night at. But Dylan had already tried them, and they were full.

Before their lunch, April opens up to her friend on how she’s feeling about her baby’s death. But she was unaware that Marlon sat in the other room listening to everything she said on a baby monitor.

The three of them went to meet Paddy, and while they are there, Paddy’s phone goes missing. Marlon immediately blames Dylan, assuming that he had taken it. This only angers April more, who then gets Dylan and leaves.

Not long after that Marlon comes home apologising as Paddy found his phone in the bathroom. April angrily explains to Marlon that she would be dead if it wasn’t for Dylan. This seems to strike a nerve, as Marlon asks Rhona if he could stay another couple of nights. The pair decide as long as he has no drugs, then he can stay only for a few nights.

Jacob spirals and Sarah thinks she’s pregnant

It’s Leyla’s birthday. And Jacob decided he wanted to head back to his placement, however everyone thinks it’s too soon. This turns out to be true, as a patient arrives with the exact same injuries as Leyla and he panics.

He gets sent home, told to take time to grieve and come back in a few weeks or months. So, his next move is to get drunk. He meets up with Ritch for some beers, ignoring Sarah’s calls and Belle’s questions about the funeral.

They then head back to Jacob’s house and he had invited a bunch of people he didn’t know over for a party. It doesn’t take long before Sarah arrives, but he isn’t interested in what she has to say and forcefully gets her out of the house.

But then as she’s leaving she looks in her bag and we saw she had a pregnancy test. How will the pair cope?

Emmerdale: Vanessa lashes out at Mary

Mary has been clearly harbouring a secret about Suzy ever since she died. And in Emmerdale tonight, she went to check on Vanessa. But when she kept asking questions about the funeral, Vanessa lashed out and told her to stop. And even uninvited her.

But later, realising she had been a bit harsh, Vanessa apologised and Mary admitted Suzy meant the world to her, quickly adding “as a friend”. And she still had Suzy’s photo on her, so what is she hiding?

Matty remains annoyed at Cain

Kerry and Matty were still struggling with Amy’s death. And it didn’t help when Cain came to drop of his suit for the funeral. Matty was quick to question why Moira would have sent him, and was immediately angry when he heard Cain and his mum were giving it another go.

He told him that he knows he will never change, and ultimately hurt Moira again. But Cain was adamant that the pair are for keeps (Please keep it that way, Emmerdale).

Matty furiously tells him that he shouldn’t come to Amy’s funeral, reminding him the way he acted when he found out Amy was pregnant with Kyle. However, it was Kerry who came to his defence. She told her son-in-law that no matter what he thinks of Cain, Kyle needs him to be there.

Elsewhere in Emmerdale…

The girls of the village met up to toast Leyla, Amy and Suzy. But as they were about to pay for drinks, Vanessa spotted how much cash Tracy had in her purse. Tracy nervously told Vanessa that she was paid in cash, but is that the truth? And if not, where is she getting the money from?

And finally, Manpreet continued to get her mystery texts. She left the pub early, telling the girls that she got called in to work, but judging by the smirk on her face, that definitely wasn’t it. But what is she hiding?
