What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Marlon attacked Dylan and Billy almost caught Dawn
It was a close shave for Dawn and Joe
In Emmerdale tonight, Marlon Dingle followed April back to the squat she stayed in when she was homeless and came face-to-face with Dylan.
Elsewhere, Dawn developed a guilty conscience after her and Joe were almost caught by Billy.
Here is the full rundown of what happened in Emmerdale tonight (Monday, March 3).
What happened in Emmerdale tonight: April went to visit Dylan
April Windsor was annoyed to discover her dad had slept on the sofa in order to keep guard incase she ran away again. She encouraged Marlon to trust her and informed him she was going to school.
However, he didn’t take her advice and instead decided to follow her.
Arriving at the derelict squat where she’d stayed in with Dylan during her time on the streets, April found her friend Dylan and told him about her baby dying.
Marlon soon interrupted the moment, and jumping to the wrong conclusion, he threw an already hurt Dylan against the wall.
April explained that she had met Dylan on the streets, telling her dad: “Him and Becca are the only reason I survived on the streets, the only people who cared.”
April went on to tell Marlon that her life didn’t stop when she was homeless. “Things happened. I made friends, and I saw things. I can’t just forget it all. It’s gonna be part of my life forever.”
Seeing Marlon’s despair, Dylan told April she should go home with her dad as he’ll keep her safe. Dylan pretended he was fine, despite clearly being in pain.
April took Dylan’s advice, but later told her dad to stop lying, stop following her and just let her be. Will he be able to trust her?
The Joe mystery continued
Joe’s mysterious doctor made another appearance as he told Joe to be careful with Dawn as his body can’t take too much overexertion.
The doctor told Joe to focus on his health as ‘women are a distraction’ and added: “This trip for your treatment couldn’t come soon enough.”
He quickly left when he heard footsteps. Joe later shared that he was off to Dubai for at least two weeks for business, but what is he really going there for, and will he die?
Dawn developed a guilty conscience
As has been the case so far, Dawn continued making the moves on Joe. Thinking they had the house to themselves the pair started kissing passionately.
But they were soon shaken when they heard her husband Billy arrive home. Joe managed to deter Billy with the actual truth – telling him to scarper as he had a girl over. Billy joked: “Tell her she can do so much better,” obviously not realising he was talking about his actual wife.
Dawn immediately felt guilty, and later when talking to Kim, she admitted that she was scared about Billy finding out as it would break his heart.
In a spit your tea out moment, Dawn said she didn’t think her marriage would survive son Evan being so ill, ‘but we’re making it work.’ Kim immediately said what we all thought: “How is having an affair making it work?”
Dawn explained that it helps her cope. Yes, we’re sure the therapist would recommend an affair as a coping mechanism too…
Later, Dawn and Billy shared a moment in the kitchen while she was cooking dinner, so perhaps she really does want her marriage to work.
What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Jacob got angry at David and Alicia
As is the case, with every soap wedding or funeral, there is always the question of whether family members will return for the occasion.
For Leyla’s funeral, that will be a firm no. Jacob was shown on the phone to David, before he told Sarah: “Alicia’s blaming her broken leg, and dad’s using Theo’s illness as an excuse.”
Jacob was angry as he explained he felt like he was the only one who cared about his mum, if his dad and Leyla’s own sister couldn’t even be bothered to turn up and say goodbye.
Later, Sarah accompanied Jacob to the house as he explained he hadn’t managed to go back since his mum’s death. While there, he got emotional once again and said: “My dad can’t bear to be around me. Mum’s gone.” He then started frantically grabbing various items before crying in Sarah’s arms.
Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight
Things looked to be over for Moira and Cain as she struggled to forgive him for his fling with Ruby.
After Cain took Moira to her hospital appointment when she was let down by Mack, Moira informed him that nothing would change as she couldn’t get over him letting her down when she needed him the most.
Moira soon asked Cain to move out of their house. When they returned home Cain asked Moira to ask him to stay, but she couldn’t and instead took to her bed and burst into tears. Is this really the end for the couple?
