April crosses a dangerous line as Ray tightens his grip in Emmerdale

Will loyalty to Ray cost April and Dylan everything?

 20-26 SEPTEMBER

Following her chat with Ray, Dylan checks in with April who is unconvinced that Ray has their best interests at heart, but the pair try to remain positive.

Running into Ray later, April apologises for yesterday and he’s pleased when she mentions that Dylan got the job at the depot.

When Ross spots April looking anxious after her meet with Ray, he invites her to the cafe for a chat. As April tries to explain what’s worrying her, she fails to get help.

Soon, Dylan is left worried when Ray appears claiming they can help each other.

At the depot, Dylan’s trying to make the best of his new job, but a text from Ray, offering him an impromptu driving lesson, reminds him there’s no escape. Chuffed to hear that Dylan wants to learn to drive, Paddy offers to teach him himself.

Meanwhile, April’s appalled to hear where Dylan's and her current debt stands and Ray suggests there’s ways she could bring their debt down faster. And soon April is well and truly reeled in.

Taking her to a car park, Ray lays out the basics of the role and an encounter with a beaten-up lad reminds April of the consequences of messing things up. After successfully executing a demo deal, April’s takes on a burner phone thus making her a full-time dealer for Ray.

Meanwhile, despite Paddy solidifying himself as a new father figure in his life, Dylan’s unable to say no to Ray and they meet. A generous gift from Ray leaves Dylan grateful to have him in his life, unknowingly playing right into Ray’s hands.

Soon, as they are chatting in the pub, it seems like things are looking up for Dylan and April, but their new-found happiness remains entirely dependent on Ray.
