But Kim remained adamant that he only ruins people's lives and that she will retaliate \u2013 leading to him suggesting that she's concerned something might happen between them.<\/p>\n<p>Later, he overheard Kim and Joe speaking about the body situation on the farm and suggested they get ahead of the game.<\/p>\n<p>He offered to help but Joe made it clear that they are fine without him, leaving Kim impressed.<\/p>\n<h2>Ruby struggled in Emmerdale tonight<\/h2>\n<p>Caleb and Ruby were anxious to hear more about the bodies, knowing they were the ones to report it to the police.<\/p>\n<p>But while they thought it would make Celia look more guilty, Chas broke the news that Cain and Moira had been arrested, leaving them shocked.<\/p>\n<p>Later, in the pub, many of the villagers chat about who they think tipped the police off.

While Paddy tried to stop her, Ruby took her opportunity and ran over to Bear to tell him.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, Bear relived Anya's death, with Ruby pleased that she didn't die alone. However, when Bear tried to insist that Ray was their friend, Ruby lost it, revealing she hoped Ray died a slow death.<\/p>\n<p>Paddy quickly intervened when Bear started getting upset, forcing Ruby
