Caleb finally realises the truth about Anthony, but as Ruby vows to keep her secret, here’s what happens next

The truth is out in Emmerdale! Caleb – with a bit of help from Chas – has worked out the truth about Ruby’s ordeal at the hands of her evil dad, Anthony.

In this evening’s episode, Chas, drawing on her own son Aaron’s awful experience with his dad, put two and two together.

As Ruby’s teenage best friend Rob revealed she was always scared of her father, realisation dawned for Chas.

Though Caleb was a bit slower to work it all out, Chas listened to what Rob was saying about how Caleb was the only lad in Ruby’s life back when they were teenagers.

“Who was she really scared of?” Chas asked Caleb as the horrible truth fell into place. “I think Anthony was abusing Ruby, and I think he fathered Steph.”

Caleb makes an awful discovery in Emmerdale

Evil Anthony also knows that he’s Steph’s dad – Ruby told him in a confrontation at the B&B. But she swore that she wasn’t going to tell anyone – ever – because she doesn’t want Steph to find out.

But now Caleb and Chas know, it’s only a matter of time before the whole family – and probably the rest of the village – finds out, too.

So what will happen next?

Anthony’s murdered!

Well! We don’t have long to wait for Anthony to get his comeuppance because by the end of next week’s episodes, he’ll be dead!

But who’s killed him?

As the week begins we see a flashforward showing a human tooth, knocked out and bloodied, on the floor of the depot. YUCK.

Back the present, Anthony’s slept on the sofa at Laurel’s. When Chas spots him tutoring Angelica, she’s concerned. She warns Nicola that he’s not safe to be around teenage girls.

The suspects line up

Nicola calls off the tutoring session and Anthony’s panic turns to anger as he worries that his secret’s out. Things get physical and he threatens Nicola – only for Laurel to dramatically whack him with a candlestick, leaving Anthony out cold!

Meanwhile, when Cain finds Chas upset in the backroom at the pub, he gets her to open up. But he’s shocked by what she tells him.

Aaron spots Anthony with Ruby, and realises how scared Ruby is of her dad – recognising his own experiences in her reactions.

And Caleb pulls up next to Anthony in his car and orders him to get in.

The next day, a shot rings out in the village, while Anthony’s nowhere to be seen. But it’s not until the following day when someone finds him dead.

Who is the killer? Could it really be Laurel? Or might it be someone closer to home?
