In Emmerdale tonight, Tom continued to pull the wool over his uncle
Jimmy‘s eyes. This time, he received sympathy from Jimmy after claiming to be attacked.
Elsewhere, Ella drunk away the afternoon and confided in Chas about her
heartbreak. Unbeknown to her, Chas is the cause of that heartbreak. Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight (Monday, November 4).
Emmerdale tonight: Tom claimed he’d been attacked
After Nicola spent the night at Laurel’s and refused to take Jimmy’s calls in Emmerdale tonight, Jimmy got snappy with Tom.
Tom told Jimmy he was constantly getting hateful messages online. Jimmy responded that he didn’t have time to mollycoddle Tom and instructed him to leave the house for a while. Later, Laurel came across Tom crouching on the floor by the church with blood over him.
Jimmy, as dopey as ever, apologised to Tom for making him leave the house. Tom claimed he hadn’t seen his attacker, but both he and Jimmy decided Sam Dingle were the guilty party. Tom continued to manipulate Jimmy and told him he didn’t want to go to the police as he didn’t want to cause any more trouble for Belle.
“I’m better off just keeping my head down, coping on my own,” Tom told his uncle, while we screamed into a pillow. Jimmy responded: “I’ll always have your back.” Can someone bang his head against a wall, please?
In the village, Jimmy accused Sam of being the one to smash up Tom’s car and of attacking Tom.
The often thick Sam had us all saying “Yes, Sam!” when he told Jimmy: “And you think you’re the clever one? Protecting that idiot? He’s pulled the wool over your eyes, big time. We can all see it. Even your wife can see it.”
The truth came out at the end of the episode when Tom got into the car belonging to his solicitor friend Ollie. And if there was any doubt, it was revealed that Tom had arranged the attack himself. Ollie had been the one to hit Tom as Tom didn’t think the online messages were enough to garner sympathy.
Tom then threatened Ollie, telling him he would divulge the information he knew about him if he didn’t continue to do as Tom asked. Tom informed him they needed a back up plan to ensure he didn’t go to prison – legal or not.
Liam and Chas made a decision
After being dumped by Liam, Ella spent some time in the Woolpack knocking back drinks. She opened up to Chas and told her: “It feels as though he’s plunged his hand into my chest, ripped my heart out, and stamped on it till it’s flat.”
“He obviously didn’t love me as much as I loved him,” she went on. Chas couldn’t have looked more guilty if she tried, but Ella didn’t catch on. Boy, is she in for a shock.
Later, Chas told Liam about her interaction with Ella, telling him how upset Ella had been. They agreed to keep their relationship a secret and to not rub Ella’s nose in it. Liam then went on to say that after a bit of time he’d be shouting about their relationship from the rooftops – because that wouldn’t be rubbing Ella’s nose in it at all.
Also in Emmerdale tonight
Ross made a move on Charity
Ross didn’t take too kindly to Mack describing Moses as ‘our son,’ telling him, “I think you meant to say ‘your son’.” The cheek – he hasn’t been around for six years!
Later, Charity spied on Ross as he told Billy that the boxing rematch was off. Charity told Ross that she was impressed by him for being sensible. Ross took Charity’s praise the wrong way and during a cosy chat in the pub, Ross leaned in for a kiss. Charity immediately pushed him away and insisted she loved Mack.
Ross quipped, “Yeah I met him, not my favourite person.” He wasn’t put off though and told Charity: “I know that you want me.” It’s a tough life for Charity, having both Mack and Ross at her beck and call…
Angelica struggled to settle in
Cathy went to visit Angelica, who admitted that she was struggling with being back in the village. Angel also said she didn’t ever want to go back to school for fear of bullying.
When Bob spoke to Nicola later on, Nicola was visibly upset that Angelica felt she didn’t belong in the village. Will she be able to help her daughter feel better?
