They were there to look for Nate’s phone, which they’d tracked to the village… and had definitely been used since his death. Back in the village, Vanessa revealed that she’d seen the police at the farm. Tracy grew more convinced than ever that her theory was right, and stormed out of the house (the one with a grieving child in it).

Later, in the cafe, she begs Vanessa to back up her false alibi. When DS Walsh visits the Vet’s surgery later, she asks Vanessa to back up Tracy’s alibi. Will she go along with it? What else happened in Emmerdale tonight (Friday, June 6) As battle lines were drawn between Tracy and Cain, the village continued to reel in shock at news of Nate's death. This included Mack, who was the voice of reason as Charity and Sarah continued to bicker about her baby plans. Elsewhere, Eric and Kerry finally reached a compromise over his future. Here's everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight. Pollard and Kerry made a plan Pollard remained in a foul mood in spite of Kerry's continued presence. Feeling increasingly unwelcome, she agreed to give him what he wanted - and revealed that she planned on moving out. But not before finding him the home help he needs (Claudette, maybe?) Later, she returned home with a pile of boxes to find Eric struggling to make a cup of coffee. Finally softening up, he admitted that he needed help, but didn't want her pity - and nor did he want to be a burden. She reiterated her want to help, which she refused. He didn't want her 'as a mate,' but would happily pay her. Deal struck, Kerry agreed to be his new carer. Will she come to regret the decision? Happy birthday Sarah It was Sarah's 20th birthday, and Charity, Mack and Noah had prepared a cake. She was still in a sulk over the IVF though, and continued to push back against her gran. The bickering was getting too much for Mack, who had just watched Tracy tell Frankie about her dad's death. "How do you even begin to tell a child that their parent's died?" Charity groaned - cue more snapping from Sarah, who took it as a dig. The bickering continued as Sarah's birthday party devolved into another shouting match. She wouldn't be put off, and re-iterated that she'd go ahead with IVF, with or without her. Mack was a little more sympathetic, and as he sat down for a chat with Charity, suggested that Sarah was old enough to make her own decisions. Charity feared all the most terrifying outcomes, but Mack warned her that she risked losing her granddaughter if she didn't get on board. She found Noah and Sarah outside - Noah reassuring Sarah that he was on her side, come what may. Charity was keen to make up - and told her that she'd pay for the IVF.
