Another huge horror is set to befall the village as Joe Tate’s (Ned Porteous) plan comes to fruition and an Emmerdale legend gets caught in the middle.
Joe has been involved in some weird goings on; having clandestine meetings with his doctor, drugging Noah (Jack Downham). His health has been deteriorating, and as it does, he’s getting more desperate and acting more strangely.
Joe’s shifty behaviour is starting to raise eyebrows when he suddenly dumps Dawn (Olivia Bromley) out of the blue, despite her proposing some romantic plans for the next day.
Ross (Mike Parr) is also keeping his beady eye on the Tate lad and notices an odd conversation between him and Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker).
He reports back to Kim (Claire King) who tells him she needs concrete evidence.
Joe heads off to meet Dr Crowley in a layby but as they discuss plans for the next day they’re interrupted – by Ross, who’s after his concrete evidence.
Crowley is rattled and calls off their plan, telling Joe that they must postpone until the coast is clear.
Next thing Ross knows, he receives a call about his brother Pete saying that he’s been attacked. Ross rushes off to be with him, neatly getting him out of Joe’s way.
With Dawn down in the dumps about being dumped, Kim jumps at the chance to remind her what a scumbag Joe is and how her focus should now be her marriage.
With Ross dealt with, Joe and Crowley decide to plough on with their plans – to target Caleb (Will Ash) for his kidney.
He sets his accomplice Gina the task of getting Caleb, but Caleb inadvertently evades her attempts to drug him.
Joe resorts to plan B to get Caleb knocked out – unadulterated violence. He orders Shaun to stab him and nick his car.

Shaun comes good on his task and Joe quickly whisks the injured Caleb into surgery.
With such a slick plan, nothing could go wrong, right? Of course it does – as the surgery progresses, Caleb flatlines. Crowley now has a mammoth task on his hands, save the kidney, and save Caleb. Will he manage to save both?
