As he explained how it was his little ritual to ensure things go his way, Tracy grumbled about someone else who should have gotten a card today \u2013 Nate.<\/p>\n<p>His face almost gave the game away when she dropped a comment about Nate not opening his card. \u201cWhy do you say that?\u201d he asked, alarmed.<\/p>\n<p>A false alarm, of course \u2013 she just hadn\u2019t <em>sent<\/em> the card. But all this talk of Nate was getting to John, and he apologised\u2026 just not for the thing Tracy thought he was apologising for.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Later, John emerged from his job interview, feeling positive. Finding Aaron waiting for him outside, he decided to take them for some Thai food to celebrate.\u00a0Aaron, however, had something else on his mind. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/news\/every-detail-we-know-about-aidan-moore-so-far-emmerdale-gives-major-update\/\">Aware that Aidan was at the hospital<\/a>, he wanted to pay John\u2019s ex a visit.<\/p>\n<p>Reluctantly, John agreed. He and Aaron slipped into the room where Aidan lay comatose. Making out it had been a while since his last visit, he \u2018introduced\u2019 Aaron to Aidan\u2026 who shuffled nervously in the doorway.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, in the back of his van, John opened his card from Tracy. Feeling guilty, he fetched Nate\u2019s phone and began to go through his messages. It was while he was listening to Cain\u2019s voicemail that he accidentally hit call, ringing Cain back.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>He hung up before Cain could realise that it wasn\u2019t Nate on the other end of the line, but a rookie error all the same. Frustrated and angry at himself, John tore up the card and resumed stewing.<\/p>\n<h2>Ruby and Caleb sealed the deal<\/h2>\n<p>At Home Farm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/episode-recaps\/what-happened-in-emmerdale-tonight-tuesday-victoria-learned-the-truth-about-aidan-moore-and-billy-attacked-ross\/\">Kim and Caleb finalised their deal<\/a>, with the Miligans\u2019 signing off on the paperwork making (a portion of) Kim\u2019s land their own.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Afterwards, Caleb and Ruby looked over their fresh plot of land as they shared a hip flask full of booze.
