CHECK OUT: Emmerdale spoilers Monday 10 - Friday 14 August:

David has a customer into the shop buying breath spray, who introduces himself as Gaz and says he's got a date with a woman in the village.

Gaz leaves the shop and David is surprised to watch him head across the road to meet Leyla, knowing that she and Liam are back together.

Meanwhile, Liam and Jacob watch the exchange between Leyla and Gaz outside Take A Vow and it's clear she's just as confused as they are.

It seems to be a case of crossed wires as Leyla arrives for what she thinks is a business meeting but Gaz clearly has other ideas.

She invites him inside the premises anyway - will she work out what's going on, and how will she explain it to Liam?

Later that evening Leyla is in the office alone when she hears a strange noise and is confronted by a hooded figure lurking in the shop.

Leyla manages to strike a blow but not before the intruder has spray painted 'Skank' on the wall in giant red lettering.

The incident is reported to the police and it's not long before the penny drops for Leyla and she realises who is behind her harassing.

Elsewhere, a worse for wear Jamie pays a visit to Belle at the vet who is less than thrilled at Jamie showing up at her workplace.

Belle reminds Jamie that he left her for Andrea, leaving Jamie to explain that Andrea has been blackmailing Jamie over the incident with Moira.

Belle is horrified to learn that Jamie is behind the hit and run and immediately threatens to report him to the police but Jamie seems relieved at the prospect.

The next day at the Dingle's, Belle gets moody and defensive when Lydia questions her about whether she's been seeing Jamie again.

After her conversation with Lydia, Belle begins to question whether she can keep Jamie's secret and becomes increasingly convinced she should report him.

Meanwhile, Harriet is overwhelmed with work and trying to keep her affair a secret, invents a plan to get Dawn and Will away while she has a visitor.

But she's mortified when Dawn confronts her, telling her she knows all about her affair with Malone and if Harriet doesn't tell Will, Dawn will.

Harriet is shaken to realise that Dawn isn't about to beat around the bush with this one and has a huge decision on her hands.

Later that day, Dawn pays a visit to the police station and tells PC Swirling that she wants to launch an investigation into a senior policeman.

Elsewhere, Mandy is beginning to have second thoughts about getting involved with Paul, Vinny's dad, again.

Worried about the effect it may have on Vinny, Mandy reaches out to best friend Lydia for help and Lydia thinks up a cunning plan...

Tracy has been suffering from awful morning sickness during her first trimester and Nate is at a loss for how he can help her.

Wanting to support her, Nate offers to take the day off work to look after her but Tracy is all too aware that Nate's already on a warning at work.

Despite her protests, Nate rings work and clears all his meetings, but an uneasy Tracy worries that he may come to regret it.

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

Tracy Metcalfe and Nate Robinson are in for a shock when they visit the hospital to receive treatment on her wrist and find out she's pregnant.

Given their brief relationship and Nate's reputation in the village, what will they decide?

Elsewhere Harriet Finch is appalled by Malone's attack on Will Taylor but when she goes to confront him she's left confronting her own feelings.
