Emmerdale unleashes a gripping new mystery in Thursday’s episode (8 May) as one villager takes the ultimate revenge against Joe Tate.
It’s no secret that Joe has been making enemies left, right and centre over the past few weeks, but someone appears to have been pushed too far by the scheming villain.
With show bosses tipping Thursday’s hour-long episode as the moment it all comes to a head, we’re taking a closer look at what to expect with 7 must-see moments…

Charity is determined to make Joe suffer after Ruby told her that he was responsible for Noah’s spiking ordeal and the limo crash.

How will Noah feel about Joe’s devastating betrayal?
2. Noah is left with a big decision

Noah is horrified to learn that Joe’s desperate quest for a kidney caused the chain of events that led to Suzy, Leyla and Amy dying in the limo crash.
Will he agree to Charity’s way of dealing with things, or come up with his own plan to make Joe suffer?
3. A huge party takes place

With resentments simmering in the Emmerdale community, everyone comes together at Home Farm to celebrate Lydia’s 50th birthday.
In a soapy twist of fate, the event conveniently brings together all the key players who hold a grudge against Joe in one place…

Still unaware that Billy knows the truth about their affair, Joe boldly asks Dawn to dance with him during the party.
Billy watches on and is clearly livid to see Joe playing games so brazenly. Could this influence him to make Joe pay?
5. Kim worries

As seen in a spoiler picture, Kim starts to fret about the ongoing tensions unfolding between her family and Cain’s.
The pair find a moment to catch up, questioning what it all means for the fragile truce they brokered between the Dingles and the Tates. And whether this party was really such a good idea…
6. The party takes a dramatic turn
🌐 Website: Corrienews.info
The exact circumstances surrounding Joe’s comeuppance were initially kept under wraps last week, but it’s since been revealed that someone will push him from an upstairs window during the glamorous event.
