Caleb v Joe spoilers

Joe has declared war on Caleb. Or perhaps Caleb has declared war on Joe. Either way, the end of tonight’s episode showed that the battle lines have been drawn. But Emmerdale spoilers for next week have revealed the end could already be close!

Caleb knows that Joe arranged to have him stabbed, and then stole his kidney, while Joe’s positive Caleb killed Anthony.

It seems they’re in deadlock.

Next week someone else gets involved – but will this mean the end of the conflict? Or just make everything worse?

The police arrive at the depot

Caleb’s concerned when DI Roberts arrives at the depot, but relieved when it turns out he’s not there about Anthony. Instead, he wants to ask some questions about a break-in.

When the police leave, Joe’s quick to come over and gloat, and Caleb doesn’t react well! Fortunately Cain steps in to cool things down (again!) and he’s left thinking things are going too far.

So he turns to an unlikely person to help smooth things over.

Kim Tate!

Emmerdale spoilers: Bringing out the big guns!

Cain goes to see her and tells her he’s determined to put an end to the feud between Caleb and Joe. But as they discuss what they could do to stop the arguing, Joe arrives.

Kim gives him some home truths, telling him she wants to keep him and Caleb out of prison. So how does she propose to do that?

Summoned to Home Farm

Later, Ruby and Caleb arrive at Home Farm having been summoned by Kim. They find Joe and Cain waiting for them, along with Kim, who’s ready to put a stop to the battle between Caleb and Joe.

As everyone descends into bickering, Kim makes a proposition. She suggests that Joe compensates Caleb in some way. And she soon offers him the land surrounding the depot.

Caleb’s thoughtful, and Kim’s adamant it’s a one-time offer.

Doing the deal in Emmerdale spoilers

As the deal is done, Caleb’s chuffed but Kim’s furious with Joe for putting her in this position.

He assures her he won’t deceive her again, and with the ball in her court, Kim tells he she’s got a plan. She’ll help him keep their enemies close, and together they can build an unstoppable empire.

Is this the end of Caleb’s vendetta against Kim AND Joe? It seems like it, but we’re not convinced!
