It’s been a tense few weeks for the four responsible for Anthony Fox’s (Nicholas Day) disappearance, but so far, they have managed to fend off the Emmerdale boys in blue.
As the pressure builds, so does the likelihood of one of them cracking. And Steph Miligan (Georgia Day) continuing her hunt for her grandfather is not helping her guilty parents keep their mouths shut.
Caleb Miligan (William Ash) has also complicated matters in his actions after finding out that his brother Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) had slept with wife Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly).
Managing to temper his rage, he cooked up a cunning plan of cold hard revenge – planting Anthony’s tooth in his car and setting the police on him.
They found nothing, but Caleb’s intentions became clear – and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) realised what his uncle and co-conspirator was capable of.
But it’s a distraction from the main problem at hand – Steph’s refusal to drop the hunt.
With the police concerned that Anthony has missed hospital appointments, this thing isn’t going away, and the quartet involved are on a moral knife edge.
Caleb, Ruby, Aaron (Danny Miller) and John (Oliver Farnworth) meet to hold crisis talks. The others are shocked and disgusted to learn that Caleb had attempted to frame Cain.
This was a huge mistake and put them all at risk. This will likely plant a seed of doubt in the group too, over whether Caleb can be trusted with their big secret.
They fight over this news until one of them makes a new shock move – they vote to go to the police.
The cracks are showing amongst the four and fear is starting to settle in. Which of them will crumble first?
