Joe hits Jimmy with his car following disappointment with Carl’s case Emmerdale

But can Nicola prove it was revenge and not an accident?

 18-24 OCTOBER

Wanting tougher justice, Joe Tate is angry when the police inform the Kings that they are not taking Carl’s case any further.

Soon, distracted whilst driving, Joe is terrified to hit somebody, and more so when he sees it’s Jimmy.

Unbeknownst to him, Caleb has seen the whole thing and Joe is forced by Caleb’s presence into calling an ambulance for Jimmy.

Rushing to his bedside in the hospital, Nicola is gobsmacked to see Joe being questioned by the police, who does his best to convince her it was an accident. But she’s certain it was him exacting revenge and vows to give her own statement to the police.

Later, arriving at the Depot to settle things with Caleb, the pair are distracted by a sound in one of the vans, where they find a petrified woman ‘Anya’ who is stowed away.

As Caleb tries to coax the lady out, Ruby arrives and is baffled by what she’s seeing. As the depot descends into panic, the police arrive about the vehicle accident and Joe heads out to greet them. Anya disappears and Ruby goes after her.

Meanwhile, Dawn wants to draw a line under the feud with the Kings, but Nicola is determined to get justice.

The next day, Caleb and Ruby need to work out what to do with Anya and soon Liam is invited over to check her over and advises Ruby that she should report Anya to the authorities. But will she?
