Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) learns that Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) spiked Noah (Jack Downham) in scenes airing on Emmerdale next week.
Joe was inadvertently responsible for the death of three women when he spiked half-brother Noah in February as part of a plot to steal his kidney.
He ultimately got that kidney from uncle Caleb Miligan (William Ash) but by then, the damage had been done – Noah wandered into the road, causing the limo crash which left Amy Barton (Natalie Ann Jamieson), Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) and Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) dead.
Charity suspected that Joe might have been responsible, but couldn’t prove it. And when she sent Ross Barton (Michael Parr) to bully a confession out of Joe, he managed to talk his way out of trouble.
Ruby’s shocked when Charity appears at Mill Cottage. After some persuading, Ruby comes clean and reveals that Joe spiked Noah on the night of the crash.
But Joe couldn’t keep his secrets buried for long, and Charity finally gets the answers she’s looking for when Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) reveals the truth.
Having let on that she knows something about Noah’s spiking, Ruby is shocked when Charity appears at Mill Cottage, demanding answers.
After some persuading from Charity, Ruby opens up and confirms that Joe had spiked Noah on the night of the limo crash.
As Ruby explains everything, Charity soon realises that Joe was also responsible for Caleb’s attack, and took his kidney.
Left reeling at the revelation, her anger towards Joe simmers to boiling point – and she vows to make sure that Joe gets what’s coming to him.
But what will she do next?
Later, at The Woolpack, all those he’s wronged shoot daggers at Joe. With Charity joining Billy in the ever-growing queue for revenge, Ruby and Caleb are quietly pleased to have engineered his downfall.
The next day, Charity outlines her revenge plot to a shocked Noah, telling him that he’d been spiked by Joe.
Noah struggles with the gravity of what he’s just learned – specifically the knowledge that his brother left him with the deaths of three people on his conscience.
