Can Bear get away from Celia and Ray?

Emmerdale tonight saw Kev walk free after Nicola saved him. But then he found out everything about Robert and Aaron. So what will his revenge plot be?

Elsewhere, Bear decided he would escape and we’re very nervous because we just want him to make it. And Sam had a plan that is bound to end in tears.

Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight.

Kev got away with it – but Robert and Aaron didn’t!

Thinking they had all the puzzle pieces they needed to get Kev sent down for the armed robbery, Robert and Aaron made Liam call the police anonymously to dobb him in.

Kev was then carted away by DS Carter and the police searched the church for the loot. Only they didn’t find it and Kev was free to leave.

It turned out Nicola had heard Liam make the phone call and grabbed the loot before the police arrived. She’d stashed it for Kev and then used it to blackmail him to leave – leaving Lewis alone.

Kev was left with no choice but to agree to her demands.

However, when he left the cafe, he overheard Robert and Aaron talking… and then kissing… and busted them completely.

So now we’re left wondering what his revenge will be? We know there’s life-threatening danger for Robert and Aaron at Christmas. So whatever it is, it’s going to be juicy, that’s for sure.

Bear plotted his escape in Emmerdale tonight

Finally persuaded by Mick and Simo to help them get away from Ray and Celia, Bear broke into Ray’s office tonight. He was caught red-handed by Ray, but told him he was just after some more pills.

Ray believed him and escorted him back to his room. Mick and Simo were furious he hadn’t managed to get the keys.

But then Bear produced them, revealing he had managed to steal what they were after. But with Bear still unsure, will he manage to go ahead with the escape plan?

Sam had a plan

As plan’s go, Sam Dingle’s are rarely foolproof, but somehow he managed to get Belle to put her trust in him.

After Noah revealed the whole house needed rewiring and it would cost £2000 for parts alone, Lydia handed over her Jason Donovan concert fund to start the repairs. At the same time Belle came home saying she was very close to securing tickets.

Sam was devastated their financial problems had destroyed Lydia’s dreams and vowed to make money another way. He came up with a plan to borrow Moira’s tractor and go to Home Farm. There he would steal some Christmas trees and sell them on to raise money.

Sam is sure it will work and solve all their troubles. Belle has agreed to help him. And we can only see one way this will end: disaster!

Laurel asked Ray out in Emmerdale tonight

At the Hide Nicola urged Laurel to stop messing around with Ray and just go for it. Laurel then made an awkward comment about Ray being hotter than chilli sauce and was forced to explain herself by asking him for a date.

They agreed to lunch tomorrow and Nicola was more excited than Laurel! She advised her friend to wear her best pants – and frankly that’s more information than we needed.

But will the date go well? Or will Laurel realise she’s yet again fallen for a bad ‘un?
