What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Dawn triumphant as Kim was arrested for Will’s m.u.r.d.e.r

Dawn was on a mission in Emmerdale tonight and she thought she’d won when she had Kim arrested at Will’s funeral. But did Queen Kim really have something to do with Will’s d.e.a.t.h?

Elsewhere, Anthony dropped a bombshell on Caleb and Jacob is still struggling with stress.

Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday January 7.

There was drama at Will’s funeral in Emmerdale tonight

Dawn wanted answers

Dawn confronted Ross over Will’s video. But Ross advised her she was barking up the wrong tree and Kim did not k.i.l.l Will.

Meanwhile, Kim was preparing herself for Will’s funeral, planning to ride to the church on Ice. Kim promised Dawn she would step up and be there for her, but Dawn only gave her a glare in response. Dawn later told Billy Kim k.i.l.l.e.d Will and showed him the video. But Billy wasn’t sure it meant anything – and suggested the video could have been made ages ago and could be a set-up.

Dawn a.t.t.a.c.k.e.d Kim in church

The family went to the funeral, with Kim the grieving widow, Dawn steely and unforgiving, and (randomly) Gabby a tearful wreck. Kim delivered a heartfelt eulogy, but Dawn couldn’t keep quiet. She stood up and accused Kim of being a “ᴍᴜʀᴅᴇʀɪɴɢ ʙɪᴛᴄʜ”.

An argument broke out as Kim defended herself and Dawn revealed the video to the congregation. Kim begged Dawn to believe her, but Dawn shoved her violently into the coffin. She ran out.

Kim continued her eulogy and if she was giving a performance, it convinced us, because we really don’t think she had anything to do with Will’s d.e.a.t.h. But we could be wrong…

Kim arrested

Dawn returned only for the burial in the graveyard, but was still not interested in forgiving Kim. In fact, she had called the cops, who turned up at the graveside to take Kim in for questioning over Will’s murder.

Kim went willingly, insisting she has nothing to hide. We don’t think she does and we suspect that triumphant look on Dawn’s face will be wiped off it fairly soon. And we’re actually quite glad about that.

Anthony dropped a bombshell in Emmerdale tonight

Ruby treated Steph to a spa day so they could spend some time together, but Steph was not keen. Ruby pushed her into agreeing and she gave in.

Meanwhile, Anthony asked Caleb if they could have a chat alone. The oncology team had told him the cancer is spreading faster than expected. Anthony does not have long left.

As we collectively breathed a sigh of relief, oblivious Caleb comforted his father-in-law, who insisted Ruby and Steph mustn’t know about the scan results. He wants Ruby’s forgiveness to come from her heart – he’ll have a VERY long wait then.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Marlon is appealing

Marlon was furious over Mary confronting Laurel, but Mary was not sorry. However, the focus was April who is still missing. The family then convinced Marlon to do a social media appeal to ask her to come home. With renewed hope, Marlon agreed.

Jacob is still stressed

We’re beginning to wonder if Jacob is cut out to be a doctor to be honest. He’s only done one day on placement and is already struggling with stress. Tonight, he was was shadowing Manpreet at the surgery and helped Bob during an appointment. But Manpreet was worried about Jacob’s stress levels. She advised him to administer self-care, but will he do as she says?
