Kim Tate's health has been deteriorating for weeks in Emmerdale, and after another confusing episode with Gabby Thomas, she finally calls her doctor to demand a proper dementia test.

But little does she know Gabby has been taking advantage of her condition, using it to get away with stealing money from the company.

Wracked with guilt, Liv flicks the self-destruct switch and drowns her fears in booze, telling Aaron to back off. Drinking the house dry, Liv hits the Woolly and ends up bringing some sleazy bloke called Max home with her.

The next day, Liv wakes up to the wreckage of the night before feeling even worse, and falls into another seizure. After convincing Aaron never to give up on family, Chas calls round, determined to set Liv back on the straight and narrow.

Elsewhere, Gabby's been up to no good, hacking into the company accounts and buying herself loads of designer stuff. When Kim starts to cotton on and Gabby realises she's been rumbled, she makes out Kim's episodes of confusion are to blame.

Kim makes a call to her doctor to ask for a proper dementia test, and Gabby pours her a medicinal brandy, promising to keep her episode a secret. Later to calm her nerves Kim pours herself another slug of brandy, not realising someone has spiked her decanter with diazepam.

The police call in the village and tell Pollard that they're dropping the charges against him and are taking Aaron in for questioning.

Victoria manages to get the truth out of Ben - that's he's not over Aaron like he says he is. An idea forming, Vic suggests to Ethan that he put himself out there on some dating apps.

Meanwhile, Ethan meets his dad for a coffee and tells him he's decided to put the search for his mum behind him - much to Charles' relief.

Over a drink, Amy blurts out to Matty that she's in love with him but is mortified when he doesn't reciprocate.

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

Following the freak accident which resulted in the villainous Paul Ashdale's death, when the barn he was due to marry Mandy Dingle at blew up, Jimmy King has decided to plead guilty to death by dangerous driving.

While Mandy assures Jimmy that when it comes to the charge and ensuing custody battle with his ex Juliette Holliday, he's got to do right by their son, Carl.

Amy comes clean to Matty

But how will his wife Nicola King take the news?

Elsewhere, Vinny Dingle opens up to Liv Flaherty about his counselling and admits that he's not sure it's working, leaving Liv visibly triggered.

As tensions between Eric Pollard, Brenda Walker and Faith Dingle continue to simmer, Aaron Dingle is determined to put things right.

The question is, will he be able to convince Mackenzie Boyd of the same?
