Interestingly, though, the scene does focus for a moment on Nicola asking where she put the drugs, and Laurel explaining she got rid.

Emmerdale fans have taken to social media and Reddit to discuss theories on what is coming up. And many think Ray was meant to give those drugs to someone in power.

The police lady, DS Carter, told Marlon they were on it and for him to be patient. Because of this, I assume someone will be looking for the drugs that Laurel flushed down the sink.” Another added: “There is definitely more to come with the whole Laurel flushing those drugs away.” “I think someone is going to come looking for those drugs and then Laurel and Arthur will be in big trouble,” a third penned.
