Jacob is furious to discover Sarah stealing his boss' car in Emmerdale

How long can she keep Cain's secret for?

 28 FEBRUARY - 6 MARCH

Despite Cain making it clear to her that he won't be involving her in any more car thefts, knowing that the potential TB outbreak might lose them the farm, Sarah can't help herself when she spies a sports car parked outside the village hall.

Just as she's about to speed off, Jacob appears, furious to have caught his wife stealing his boss’ flash motor, knowing it could easily spell the end of his medical career.

Soon, he’s hurt by Sarah’s inability to tell him the truth about what’s really going on, and she's stymied from admitting the truth about Cain, as he still insists on keeping his cancer a secret from everyone.

When Jacob turns up shouting about Sarah stealing cars, Cain is ready to explode and with Charity also livid, she gives him both barrels over what would cause him to jeopardise his granddaughter’s freedom.

To avoid questions, Cain stalks off and is left brooding after Liam gently advises that stealing cars with his granddaughter is perhaps an indication his strategy of keeping his cancer diagnosis a secret isn’t working, and he is missing out on the support and guidance of his family at a crucial time.

As Sarah rushes to make sure her granddad is OK, Jacob is frustrated, but once there, Sarah explains she is fed up with being the only one in the family who knows and calls Cain a coward for being unable to front up to his nearest and dearest.

With his cancer, Moira being incarcer§ated, and Joe’s continuing pressure to get the farm, even Graham is advising that selling up is the best course of action. But will Cain agree?
