Billy and Dawn plan their escape in Emmerdale

But can they get away before Joe catches on?

 8-14 AUGUST

Doubling down, Billy tells Dawn that he saw Joe attack him, despite Dawn's disbelief that Joe would traumatise the kids. Devastated, Dawn accepts Billy's assertion and blames herself, feeling trapped by carrying Joe's baby.

Billy proposes that they run away as a family, noting Dawn's previous plans to escape the village. Dawn considers the practical details of Billy’s offer for them to escape as he prepares to answer DS Byrne's questions about his attack.

Caleb, who initially saw Billy's attack as an opportunity to take down Joe, is frustrated when Billy clears Joe's name with the police. But Billy explains to Caleb that clearing Joe was a ploy to make Joe complacent while he and Dawn plan their escape, and he asks Caleb for assistance.

Inviting Billy to stay at Home Farm, Dawn tells him that Joe’s stag do the day after tomorrow will be the perfect time for them to make their escape.

Emmerdale continues Monday to Friday at 8pm on ITV1 with first look episodes available from 7am on ITVX
