In Emmerdale tonight, Jai Sharma discovered what Caleb has been up to – will Caleb kill Jai to stop him leaking the information?

Jai has become frustrated over Caleb’s approach to work lately and was shocked to discover he’d gone off on a job to Rotterdam.

But in Thursday’s episode, Jai discovered just why Caleb went overseas and he was quick to inform Caleb of his discovery. How will Caleb stop Jai from going to the police?

Caleb returned

Caleb Miligan returned from Rotterdam, but before he could do anything Cain was there with a shotgun in his face. Cain told Caleb that he’d gone to the ferry port but had been too late.

Cain was furious with his brother for allowing John to escape, but Caleb insisted he had no choice and that he has no regrets as his actions have kept his family out of prison.

Ruby interrupted the argument and demanded to know the truth. Caleb eventually told Ruby everything – including the information about where Anthony’s body is buried. But Ruby didn’t believe it. She pointed out that there is no way John would offer up that information as it’s the only power he has.

Anthony’s body was discovered in Emmerdale tonight

However, Caleb went digging and found a body… Moira, Chas and Aaron were soon filled in on the latest developments. Aaron in particular took the news badly.

Caleb told them that he found Anthony’s body so John was telling the truth, and now it’s all over.

Aaron shouted: “While he’s still out there, it’s not over for me, is it?”

Caleb shared that John said he was heading to France as he has a friend in Lille. Cain, who like Aaron was still furious, said he was going home to pack and then heading to France. Cain insisted he’s not letting his son’s murderer get away.

Jai discovered the truth

After leaving a sarcastic message on Caleb’s phone regarding work, Jai continued to do some digging.

He struck gold, and when Caleb showed up at the Depot, Jai said “finally” before launching into his discovery.

Caleb clearly wanted to be left alone, but Jai quickly had his attention when he told him he’d been checking all the dash cam footage for violations.

Jai opened his laptop and pressed play. Caleb was then faced with footage of him pushing John Sugden into the back of one of their lorries.

A smug Jai said: “I can’t think of any good reason that you would help smuggle a known murderer out of the country. Unless you’d done something very bad yourself. What do you think?… Maybe I am a winner after all.”

Caleb immediately asked Jai what he wanted, but Jai responded that he hasn’t decided yet.

Will Caleb allow Jai to have one over on him or will he find a way to get rid of him for good? He knows a good hiding place now…

What else happened in Emmerdale tonight?

Elsewhere in Emmerdale's hour-long episode, Ray manipulated April into becoming a full-time dealer for him.

Meanwhile, Manpreet caught Liam doing a wee in the sink in his consulting room – when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Read on for our full recap of Emmerdale tonight.

Ray manipulated April

At the Hide, April demanded to know how much her debt was. Ray pretended to look it up and then told her: "1,708 quid and 40p." He said he’ll let her off with the 40p before suggesting there were ways for her to make more money.

He then pretended to change his mind, claiming April isn't experienced enough to step up. But she walked right into the trap and insisted she could do it, also adding that she was "desperate".

Ray took April to a carpark and shared that he wanted someone to deal. April was apprehensive about the idea, but Ray reassured her that "it's not all crack dens," and told her his customers are "normal people like you and me".

April became a dealer

After making April feel guilty about her debt, she agreed to give the dealing a go. But then two lads appeared – one had been beaten up badly. Ray put on his caring act, telling them he can only protect them so far and told the injured boy to call him next time he is in trouble.

Ray then told April that the guy had tried to screw the bosses over, but said she'd be fine as she wouldn't be so stupid to try that. April was then ent off on a trial run.

While she was gone, the 2 boys from before returned and Ray paid them for their earlier performance. April then returned and was told she'd passed the test and taken to it "like a duck to water". Ray gave April a burner phone and congratulated her on the step up.

Dylan was also manipulated by Ray

Dylan got frustrated when he struggled with studying for his theory test. He bit the heads off both Lewis and Paddy when they tried to help him.

Later Paddy spoke to Dylan and told him not to worry if it takes him longer to learn things. He also told Dylan that his own dad hadn't learnt to read until he was in his 70s. Paddy then treated Dylan to lunch, with the two bonding further.

However, later, Dylan met up with Ray again, who was full of praise for Dylan. Ray gifted Dylan some new trainers along with a wad of cash, telling him it was important to enjoy life sometimes.

Manpreet caught out Liam

Liam and Manpreet were stressed after discovering lots of sedatives missing due to John taking them. "He was using our drugs on his victims," Liam pointed out, which makes them culpable. Manpreet.

Claudette then told John that that isn't the only thing he has been burying his head in the sand about. However, the head was soon removed from the sand when Manpreet walked in on Liam doing a wee in the sink in his consulting room.

Liam then confided in Manpreet, who was quick to ask if he had a family history of prostate cancer. Liam accepted that he needed to have a test and also shared his fears with partner Chas.

Charity and Ross took a paternity test

Chas was suspicious when she saw Charity and Ross together, but Charity waved off her concerns, though the guilt was written on her face.

Later, when Charity arrived home, she felt even more guilty as Mack made it clear he is on board with the surrogacy plan now. He even joked that he and Charity will be the best looking great grandparents in the village. 

In the pub, a worried Charity told Ross the results will take 3 to 10 days.
