Caleb fears exposure, Billy’s boxing health warning and Belle goes on the attack.
Emmerdale takes a dark turn next week – see our round-up of the most dramatic moments set to rock the village.
1. Belle’s uncomfortable truths

Mandy reveals that, before Zak’s death, Cain had told him about Tom’s abuse. This leaves Belle hurt, knowing her dad was aware of what she was going through and that it was discussed without her knowledge. The revelation only deepens her grief, making her long even more for her father’s presence and support during such a difficult time.
2. Mother of all shocks for Ruby

At the reading of Ruby’s mum’s will, Caleb grows anxious, fearing his secret will come to light. When Ruby is startled by one of the documents, Caleb braces himself, certain he’s been exposed. However, the will instead reveals that, before her death, Helen had reconnected with Ruby and Caleb’s estranged daughter, Steph. The revelation leaves Ruby feeling unsettled, and she opens up to Chas about how much family truly matters.
3. Belle on the warpath

When a bouquet of condolence flowers arrives without a note, Belle immediately assumes they are from Tom. Overwhelmed and spiraling, she decides to confront him, despite it meaning she’ll violate her bail conditions. Her sudden departure leaves Sam and Lydia worried about her well-being.
4. Caleb seals the deal?

Caleb is relieved to have got through the will reading unscathed. Later, he arrives for the meeting at which Jimmy is set to sign the haulage company over to him, but will all go to plan?
5. The fight to stop Billy

Billy feels the weight of providing for Dawn and the kids, leaving Mack stunned when he discovers Billy training for another fight. During a session with John, Billy shows improvement in his defensive skills. However, John remains unsure if Billy should go through with the fight and brings in Aaron to help convince him to reconsider.
6. Belle starts to crumble

Belle is arrested for violating her bail conditions and brought in for questioning, where she’s firmly warned that any further contact with Tom will land her in prison. Back home, she assures her family that she’s fine, but internally, her struggles are worsening. As the voices in her head grow louder, Sam and Lydia later discover Belle at rock bottom, deeply concerned for her mental state.
7. A friend in need

Moira learns that she has a new date for the operation to remove her tumour. Worrying about the tough journey ahead, Moira meets up with Vanessa and asks her a big favour. But what does she want from her friend?
