Emmerdale aired an ominous threat from Joe Tate to Jimmy King tonight (October 20). And it seems things between the pair aren’t going to get any easier anytime soon.

Ever since Carl sent Clemmie’s picture around the school, things haven’t been good between Dawn and Nicola. And following Emmerdale’s powerful special epsiode, Joe finally understands what it was like for Dawn.

He now wants revenge for what Carl put Clemmie through. And tonight’s episode ended on a cliffhanger where Joe issued a threat, reminding everyone that he is a Tate. But things are about to take a turn that puts Joe in quite a bad light.

Joe threatened Jimmy in Emmerdale

Nicola and Jimmy were relieved to hear that the police aren’t going to take the case any further. And immediately send Carl back to school to get his normal life back.

But that isn’t the case for Clemmie. She was still struggling with the picture being everywhere and Joe was furious that it will follow her around while Carl can just get away with it all.

Later, Joe and Dawn arrived at the Woolpack in perfect time to hear Nicola and Jimmy celebrating that Carl won’t be getting sent down.

Joe got very angry, having a go at the pair of them. But when he brought up Angelica’s time inside, and how they’re at fault, Jimmy tried to attack him.

However, this clearly doesn’t phase Joe, who reminded everyone that he is a Tate. And if there is one thing his family is good at – it’s holding a grudge and getting revenge.

Jimmy is about to get hit by Joe’s car

Emmerdale spoilers for later this week show that Joe is distracted while driving and accidentally knocks someone down. And when he gets out and sees that Jimmy is lying unconscious on the ground, Joe panics.

There is a slight moment where Joe considers just leaving Jimmy on the road. But that plan falls through when he realises Caleb has seen the whole thing.

Knowing Caleb will call the police if he leaves, Joe gives in and calls an ambulance for Jimmy.

But when Nicola spots the Tate bad-boy being questioned by the police, she realises he was the one driving. While he swears that it was an accident, Nicola doesn’t believe him.

Swearing to get her own revenge with her police statement, Joe has no choice but to turn to Caleb for help. But will he get the help he needs?
