What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Kim was released and Dawn got hold of ketamine

Emmerdale tonight saw Kim released without charge over Will’s death. But Dawn wasn’t giving up and after boring us all with more outbursts she got herself some ketamine – but is it for her or for Kim?

Elsewhere, Jacob was mean to Sarah. Again. And Ruby blew it with Steph. Again.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday January 8.

Kim still under suspicion in Emmerdale tonight

Kim released without charge

Kim was being questioned by police insisting she loved Will and wouldn’t have killed him. Joe sent a solicitor and Kim was not impressed – she thought it made her look guilty.

The solicitor said it was all pointless and they had no evidence. True. So it wasn’t long before Kim was home.

Dawn wasn’t giving up

Back at Home Farm, Dawn was ranting and raging at Joe. Billy agreed Dawn is imagining things and Joe insisted he talk to his wife and make her see sense. But Dawn was not seeing any sense at all, shouting at everyone, picking on a returning Kim and not even remotely prepared to back down.

Kim demanded to see the video and tried once again to defend herself. She admitted what had happened with Ross, but Dawn still wasn’t interested and was getting more and more irritating as the episode went on. So Kim decided the only thing she could do was tell Dawn the truth about the day Will died.

But Joe talked her out of it insisting Dawn wouldn’t take it well and it would only strengthen her resolve to have Kim punished.

Dawn’s next plan

Dawn decided to deal with it all by getting drunk. Great idea for a recovering drug addict.

Gabby tried to talk some sense into her and it looked like she might have got through as Dawn went home and apologised. Kim forgave her and they hugged. But is Dawn really sorry? We’re not so sure.

She then went to Will’s grave and asked for forgiveness as she opened her hand and revealed a bottle of ketamine. But is she planning to take the drugs to ease her own pain? Or use them on Kim – or even Joe – to get the confession she so desperately wants?

Jacob was awful to Sarah again in Emmerdale tonight

In the Woolpack Sarah spotted the girl she’d seen Jacob with and acting all innocent went over to ask some questions. But then Jacob arrived and things were hostile as they asked her to join them.

Jacob then embarrassed Sarah by talking about her faconi anemia and his mates gave her a hard time about drinking. He did feel bad, but maybe he should just stop being so awful to her in the first place! Jacob apologised and admitted he did like Sarah and wanted to be more than friends before they kissed.

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Ruby messed up

Cain does not trust Anthony. Caleb on the other hand has warmed to his father-in-law and wants to stick by him. We always knew Cain was the smart brother.

Back at home things were better between Ruby and Steph, until Ruby snapped at her over a photo. Steph wanted to get the picture of Ruby pregnant with her framed, but Ruby shouted she didn’t want to look at it. Then poured herself another drink.

Marlon made an appeal

Laurel approached Rhona in the village and apologised. Rhona was very understanding and even apologised on behalf of her mum.

Meanwhile, Marlon made a video appeal for April. He was tearful and emotional as he begged April to come home. Afterwards he broke down in tears.

Sorry, no, this story isn’t over yet.
