Emmerdale Shocker: Caleb Milligan Takes Drastic Action to Protect a Murderous Secret!
Emmerdale’s latest episode delivered high-stakes drama as Caleb Milligan was forced to take extreme measures to protect the truth about his father-in-law Anthony Fox’s murder.
Evil Anthony met his end at the hands of his own daughter, Ruby, who had endured years of abuse. After his death, his body was secretly buried in the woods. However, when Ruby’s daughter, Steph, began demanding answers about her grandfather’s sudden disappearance, Ruby was left with no choice but to reveal the horrifying truth—not only about Anthony’s fate but also about her own traumatic conception.
Steph has since struggled to process her identity and the dark past that now haunts her. Meanwhile, Caleb has found himself under growing suspicion—this time from his own employee at the depot, Jai Sharma.
Jai Smells a Rat
Jai, convinced that something wasn’t adding up about Anthony’s disappearance, turned to his estranged wife, Laurel Thomas, for answers. Laurel explained that she had initially been told Anthony was a pedophile—only to later be informed that this wasn’t true. However, despite the conflicting accounts, she revealed that Anthony had supposedly collected his car and belongings before leaving, leading her to believe there was no further need for investigation.
But Jai wasn’t convinced. Sensing that there was more to the Fox-Milligan family drama than met the eye, he became even more intrigued. Determined to dig deeper, he headed to work—where he found Steph looking visibly distressed.
Caleb’s Desperate Cover-Up
Seeing an opportunity, Jai put on a sympathetic front, offering Steph a listening ear—all the while hoping to extract more information. Just as it seemed like Steph was about to confide in him, Caleb walked in, shutting the conversation down instantly.
Once alone with Jai, Caleb quickly spun a fabricated version of events. He claimed that he had staged the break-in at the depot as part of an insurance scam. According to him, Anthony found out about the scheme, leading to a confrontation that turned physical. Caleb insisted that he had merely intimidated the older man into leaving town—explaining why Steph was so upset.
Hoping to quash Jai’s suspicions for good, Caleb firmly declared that he would find a way to “keep Jai sweet.” But his warning to Steph was far more chilling—she needed to be careful about what they were hiding because “Jai was a snake.”
Will Caleb’s Lies Unravel?
With Jai’s curiosity growing and Steph emotionally unraveling, how long can Caleb keep the truth buried? Will his desperate cover-up hold, or is the shocking murder about to be exposed?
