Next week in Emmerdale, Robert Sugden plans his revenge on rapist Lee Posner as Victoria Sugden prepares to leave for good.

After her ordeal, Victoria wants nothing more than to get away from the village, but Lee's mum Wendy throws a spanner in the works when she shows up and demands to be involved in the baby's life.

She even threatens a custody battle.

Frustrated that Lee and Wendy are forcing Victoria away, Robert vows to get revenge as he follows Lee (who's played by a convicted 'date rape drug' supplier) home and waits outside his house.

Elsewhere, Kerry and Amy Wyatt are at loggerheads when Amy arrives at the pub to find her making a spectacle of herself.

Meanwhile, Moira Barton has heard about Nate Robinson and Amy's upcoming date and warns her away.

With the help of Eric Pollard and Leyla Harding, relations between Jacob and David are finally beginning to thaw, and Debbie Dingle enlists the help of Ryan Stocks to get Matty Barton some help with the ladies.

David and Leyla are convinced they've fooled Jacob with their fake gamer profile, but when they're invited to the café for a meeting they're shocked to find Jacob there.

Jacob reveals he knew what they were up to the whole time, and David has no choice but to admit he was behind the account.

Jacob is seething that his parents conspired against him, and soon Pollard turns up to mediate the situation. As he tries to calm everyone down, he begins to lose his breath, leaving everyone worried.

Later on, the four of them sit down to eat at the Woolpack, and Jacob and David silently agree to keep Pollard stress free and avoid fighting in front of him.

Leyla and David are comforted by Jacob's loyalty. After he leaves, Leyla tells Pollard that she's surprised the two of them appear to be getting on, and a plan begins to form...

Kerry manages to convince Amy to come round to hers to spend a girlie afternoon with her and Tracy, but things are more than a little awkward.

Amy and Tracy spend the majority of the afternoon sniping at each other about Nate. Eventually they leave together, leaving Kerry feeling hurt and left out.

Later on, a brief conversation with Dan convinces Kerry that he still has feelings for her. That evening, Kerry dolls herself up and heads to the pub to flirt up a storm.

And who should arrive at the pub in time to catch Kerry misbehaving but Amy? A humiliated Amy confronts a tipsy Kerry, and their relationship is left in tatters.

Meanwhile, Moira, Amy and Nate are on the farm when Moira overhears them discussing their date.

Determined to intervene, later on Moira warns Amy off going on a date with Nate and Amy agrees to cancel it, leaving Moira satisfied.

After probing Amy, Nate is furious to realise that Moira's meddling is the reason for Amy cancelling and, furious, he confronts Moira.

Victoria decides that she needs to get out of the village, and soon she and Diane have organised a viewing of the Keeper's with an estate agent.

But as they prepare for the meeting, Wendy, Lee's mum, comes by and puts a spanner in the work, saying she's determined to be involved in the baby's life and Lee will fight for custody.

Hell bent on supporting Victoria, Diane asks Pollard if he's willing to buy her out of her share of the B&B, hoping that his loyalty will win out.

Meanwhile, Robert is in turmoil at the thought of Victoria leaving, and even more concerned when Diane tells him about Wendy's visit, knowing this will make her want to leave more.

Later on, Robert pays a visit to Lee's house where he watches him arrive home from his car. This is far from over.

Elsewhere, Jamie and Andrea invite Priya round for dinner, and Priya struggles to hide her eating disorder from them.

Dawn is put out when she hears that Lucas's foster parents are taking him to Disneyland and worries that this will affect her relationship with him.

Now let's catch up on what's happening this week in Emmerdale...
