Emmerdale could destroy one of the showâs strongest bonds tonight â as Joe Tate makes a bold plan to figure out whether Graham Foster can be trusted. Is Graham more interested in protecting Cain Dingle than following Joeâs wishes?
Meanwhile, a sheep-related disaster on Butlerâs Farm has unexpected consequences for Lewis and Vinny.
1. Kim tries to expose Grahamâs deception
Tensions continue to simmer at Home Farm, as Kim warns Joe that he shouldnât trust Graham. Kim explains how she spotted Graham in a secret meeting with Cain at The Woolpack, where the unlikely pair seemed to be in cahoots.
Unsure what to believe, Joe decides to get to the bottom of it.
2. Graham receives his next instruction
Joe decides to test Grahamâs loyalty by ordering him to secretly carry out an assessment of the machinery at Butlerâs. The scheming businessman reveals that he wants to sell the equipment from under Cain, which will put the farm under even more strain.
Graham doesnât like the sound of this, conscious of the various problems Cain is facing due to his cancer diagnosis and Moiraâs imprisonment. It seems that heâs at a crossroads over his loyaltiesâŠ
3. Joe is crushed by Grahamâs decision
Graham takes pity on the Dingles by giving Joe bogus information on the current set-up at Butlerâs, claiming that thereâs nothing of any value left to sell.
Joe already knows this isnât the case, as an inventory was carried out when he and Kim bought into the farm. Heâs devastated to learn that Graham has betrayed him â but how will he respond to this surprising turn of events?
4. Vinny and Lewis grow closer in surprising circumstances
Thereâs another catastrophe for Cain, as a fallen tree leaves the sheep trapped in a collapsing barn. He recruits family and friends for a rescue operation, with Mack, Ross, Lewis and Vinny all involved.
Lewis and Vinny enjoy helping to resolve the chaotic situation and their chemistry leads to a kiss, but will things go even further?
5. Laurel and Dylan connect
Laurel and Dylan have a candid conversation about their mixed feelings over Rayâs death. While theyâre under no illusions over Rayâs villainy, they also canât forget how they both felt close to him when he was alive.
With Rayâs burial coming up, Laurel starts to consider whether she should attendâŠ
6. Gabby gets tough with Arthur
Gabby is dismayed to see Arthur continuing his cold behaviour towards Laurel following their disputes over Ray.
She tries to warn Arthur that itâs time to drop his attitude, but with the dynamic set to get worse this week, it doesnât appear that heâll take any of it on boardâŠ
