What happened in Emmerdale on Wednesday: Charity discovered the truth and Gail left the village
There are a lot of people looking for revenge on Joe
In our Emmerdale recap (May 7), Joe Tate collected more and more enemies as the build up to his attack continues.
Elsewhere, Gail made the heartbreaking decision to leave her life in the village behind and start fresh. And Manpreet was shocked at Ross’ behaviour.
All of this and more in our Emmerdale recap.
Billy’s anger towards Joe grew
Billy headed to Home Farm, hoping that Clemmie was wrong about Joe and Dawn. But very quickly, he realised that wasn’t the case.
Clemmie once again was scared that she was going to be taken away thanks to what Joe said, but Billy assured her that was never going to happen. He then gave Dawn one last chance to tell him if she’s seeing someone else. But of course, she denied it like usual.
While at the Depot, Billy began taking his anger out on the boxes, just as Caleb appeared and wanted to know what’s going on. And when he heard it was about Joe, he immediately offered Billy a shoulder to cry on.
As Caleb knew he can’t take revenge on Joe without going against Kim’s deal, he tried to encourage Billy to go after him. But Billy explained that he didn’t want to resort to violence because of his kids.
Although, when Caleb warned him that Joe would try to take them away from him – Billy’s anger was clear.
Charity discovered the truth about Noah’s spiking
When Joe and Noah are doing some brother bonding, Charity noticed the tensions between Joe and Ruby. When Ruby played dumb over Noah’s spiking and quickly left the pub, Charity followed.
After begging Ruby to tell her the truth, Ruby explained that she can never tell anyone it came from her otherwise Joe would go after her family. Charity promised that whatever happened next, she would take full responsibility for.
Ruby then proceeds to tell Charity the truth about Joe spiking Noah, leaving Charity heartbroken. Realising that she isn’t responsible for the three deaths, Charity became intent on getting revenge.
While Ruby remained silent on how she knows everything, Charity realised that Joe must still be ill. Until she remembered that Caleb lost his kidney in the attack.
After promising that Joe won’t get away with it, the pair agree to forget they ever had that conversation.
Caleb and Ruby celebrated as Joe’s enemies got angry
It was truly a day for Joe to collect more and more enemies. And those enemies are now looking for revenge – thanks to Ruby and Caleb’s meddling.
So, when they met up in the pub, where Billy and Charity were glaring at Joe, they celebrated nudging others to do the heavy-lifting.
And while Billy didn’t initially want revenge, after Joe began telling him about how he and Dawn took Clemmie out, it was clear revenge was on his mind.
Manpreet was furious at Ross in the Emmerdale recap
After their very flirty snooker game, Ross and Manpreet spent the night together. The next morning, Ross very visibly regretted it, whereas Manpreet was open to making it an on-going thing.
But when Ross spotted Caleb nearby, he pretended like nothing had happened and ran off. Caleb caught up with him, and unaware of his night with Manpreet, told him not to give up on Steph – giving their relationship his blessing.
However, later on, Manpreet found Ross in the cafe, and had a go at him for the way he treated her. While Ross tried to explain he and Steph had just broken up and he was in a bad way, Manpreet didn’t want to hear it.
Emmerdale recap: Gail left the village
Gail spent the night on Marlon’s sofa instead of going home to Ryan. Charity tried to make Ryan see that Gail wouldn’t leave him.
But at the same time, Gail was with Mary, talking about how she has been thinking of leaving the village. When Mary heard how upset she was with her life in Emmerdale, she encouraged Gail to go after her dreams.
Gail then headed to speak to Ryan, telling him that she was going to leave. The pair admitted that while they love each other, they have become more like friends. But Gail assured him that they’ll always be in each others lives because they have Oscar (just one of the many missing kids in Emmerdale).
Some of the villagers then gather to say goodbye as Gail left the village for good.
