With Joe arranging a work trip to Monte Carlo, he never made it to his flight. Instead, he got whacked on the head by his henchman. And they say Karma comes back around… And, this messy situation is only set to escalate for Joe as Dr Crowley confronts him. Shaun knocked Joe out cold (Credit: ITV) Shaun hits Joe Tate over the head in Emmerdale Tonight in the Dales, Joe was left sweating when he spotted a letter addressed to him in the Home Farm Kitchen. The neat handwriting was deceiving as he opened it up to find someone demanding £100k from him. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Panicking, Joe felt as though he could only trust Sam Dingle with this information (yes, we know right, SAM), but Sam couldn’t be of help. Joe then suspected that henchman Shaun might be responsible. With Sam reminding him that Shaun wasn’t as good as Graham, Joe then sacked him. Sam then protected his new bestie when Shaun turned bitter. But, Joe shouldn’t have breathed a sigh of relief too soon. Telling Dawn he was off on a last-minute work trip, Joe arranged for a flight to Nice with a connection to Monte Carlo. But, it wasn’t long before Shaun stood behind him and attacked him with a shovel, putting an end to Joe’s travel plans. And, that’s what you get for hiring a henchman, we suppose! And, they meet again (Credit: ITV) Dr Crowley is out to get Joe It seems that Joe messed with the wrong person when it comes to Shaun, and well Doctor Crowley too. Spoilers reveal that Joe soon wakes up woozy and in a makeshift hospital (ring any bells?) He then comes face to face with Dr Crowley, standing right over him like a Grim Reaper. Perhaps, Crowley’s ready to give Joe a taste of his own medicine? Next time (if he has the chance of a next time) Joe should learn not to mess with dangerous people… or they just might stab you in the back! What else happened in Emmerdale tonight? Emmerdale tonight saw Joe Tate receive somewhat of a comeuppance by Shaun, but there was also drama to be seen in other areas of the village. Vinny's talk with Kammy in Emmerdale tonight Gabby was excited for her upcoming engagement party and was overjoyed to learn that she'd lost not one, not two, but three pounds in a day. With Kammy in the room, Gabby Thomas asked Kammy to check her car out at the garage. The problem was that Vinny had to drop it off. While at the garage, Kammy then started asking Vinny whether marrying Gabby was what he actually wanted. When discussing Liv and their former relationship, Vinny called Liv the 'love of his life' but had no idea that Laurel was listening into his conversation... Awkward. The Sugdens are back in Emmerdale tonight Also tonight, Robert sat down with Vic and delighted her with news over buying Annie's field. However, he kept his plan for it a secret. Vic was thrilled he was rebuilding his life back in the village (and so were we). As Robert said 'the Sugdens are back' (well not all of them, unless Andy is hiding in a corner ready to make himself known). He then spoke to Ross about the missing weed and warned him to leave him alone. Nobody messes with a Sugden. Elsewhere in the village, the drama continued Also, Sarah Sugden helped Cain Dingle design a poster for Nate Robinson's memorial. He was really impressed with her skills but she assured him it was just 'basic' stuff she put together. Okay, technology whizz. Inside though, she was struggling after returning back to the village following her surgery, especially after bumping into Rhona with Ivy and realising she might never be able to have a child of her own.
