Convinced her relationship with Vanessa is in tatters, Charity hits the bottle - and she's getting no sympathy from Tracy who insists she brought it on herself.

In a desperate bid to remind Vanessa what she has at home, Charity begs Tracy to bring Johnny to see his mum but Tracy isn't playing ball.

When Tracy reveals that Johnny is already with Vanessa, Charity is gutted but soon there's another revelation that really twists the knife.

Elsewhere, Moira comes to the realisation she needs to deliver her brother Mackenzie some home truths and steels herself for a confrontation.

But raking up painful memories from the past leaves Moira sobbing and soon she's wondering if their relationship is past saving.

Later on Cain spots Mackenzie in the village and warns him that if he ever sees him again, he'll be leaving Emmerdale in a coffin.

A rattled Cain arrives home and furiously goes in on Mackenzie but Moira snaps at him to lay off. Has she pushed him away too?

But Cain has bigger fish to fry and arrives at Wishing Well Cottage in a rage with a plan to make Jamie pay for what he did to Belle and Moira.

Sam is well up for the challenge after Lydia admitted she'd also had a tense confrontation with Jamie in the village and the two launch into action.

Meanwhile over at Home Farm Jamie pours himself a healthy slug of brandy but gets distracted when he thinks he hears something.

Distracted by a noise back in the living room, Jamie returns to find Cain and Sam have let themselves in and demand to have a little 'chat'.

Having forgotten all about the noise Jamie is unaware that Mackenzie has broken into the house and is lurking in the shadows with a crowbar.

Mackenzie listens to Cain tell their plan to a drunk Jamie and, his interest piqued, makes himself known to the group. Has Jamie found an unlikely ally?

Elsewhere, Paddy is upset to learn that Chas has arrived back in the village to support Charity but didn't let him know she was returning.

Attempting to soften the blow Chas apologises and explains that she had planned on travelling straight to Scotland but wanted to be there for her friend.

Later on Chas goes to visit Charity at Jacob's Fold and over a bottle of wine Charity tells her to fight for her relationship because hers is in tatters.

Taking heed of her friend's advice Chas heads to the Woolpack and asks for Paddy but Marlon reluctantly admits that he's on the lash with Mandy.

Over at the Dingle residence Mandy is doing her best to distract Paddy from his heartache with booze as they relive old memories.

The next morning, Chas is anxious to realise Paddy didn't come home last night and worries she's pushed him back into the arms of his ex.

But first, here's everything happening on Emmerdale this week.

Gabby Thomas has been determined to throw a spanner in the works for Leyla Harding and Liam Cavanagh and soon a plan starts forming as new resident Meena shows an interest.

But Gabby is left frustrated when the dramatic showdown she was hoping for doesn't happen and soon she goes to extreme lengths to elicit the reaction she wants.

Moira faces some painful truths

Elsewhere, Charity Dingle is gutted when Vanessa Woodfield goes back to her mum's after Johnny's custody hearing. Convinced she's having an affair, Tracy Metcalfe does her best to reassure her but soon Tracy receives a worrying call from Vanessa...

Meanwhile, Amelia Spencer is doing her best to help support the family with her dad Dan out of work but her methods are less than scrupulous and soon she's caught out by Al Chapman.
