Industrial warfare, trauma revisited, comfort found and an insidious plan finally comes to fruition in next week's Emmerdale. Sadie King has been working tirelessly to destroy Caleb and Ruby Miligan for weeks, and she finally has an opportunity when it seems she's torn them apart for good and ends up in bed with Caleb – has she finally annihilated their marriage?
Belle Dingle continues to struggle as the shadow of her monstrous ex Tom King falls over her once again, and she makes a move to protect another bride, but is she about to make a huge mistake? Nicola King continues to suffer in the absence of her late husband Jimmy, and finds comfort in a seriously unexpected place: with Kev Barton. Can he help see her through the grieving process?
Monday, November 2
Sadie switches her alcoholic drink for Ruby's soft drink, and sets off ruthlessly flirting with Ross Barton as a demonstration of her seduction abilities to Vanessa Woodfield, before swapping Ruby in as they begin to dance, with Caleb arriving at the Woolpack just in time to see a drunk Ruby collapsed on top of Ross. With Caleb storming away, Sadie spikes Ruby further before heading home and telling Caleb that Ruby and Ross left together, when a furious and wounded Caleb finally gives in to her games and sleeps with her.
Meanwhile, Robert attempts to seduce Marlon Dingle into ditching the Woolpack and working for him as a chef, offering him complete creative control.

Marlon tells Charity that Robert is trying to poach him and is reminded of his loyalties, until Robert continues to push and the two end up brainstorming menu ideas, before Marlon asks for an incredibly lofty salary. Later, Marlon and Mary Goskirk hand their notice in to Charity to go and work for Robert, leading to a vicious argument and Charity throwing both Robert and Aaron Dingle out of the pub.
Elsewhere, Caleb is tormented when he realises Ruby didn't sleep with Ross, while she realises that Sadie is the reason he thought she had and turns up the heat on her 'best friend'.
Wednesday, November 4
Belle is triggered when she notes a groom that she's working with at Take A Vow has an incredibly controlling manner and voices her concerns to his bride to be. The bride is infuriated at Belle's suggestion and tears strips off her before firing her, leaving Belle horrified that she read the situation so wrong. Also, Caleb is insistent that Sadie move out immediately.
Thursday, November 5
Nicola implodes at work and throws all of the customers out, with only Kev being able to get her to open up, and the two see the previously well-hidden vulnerabilities in each other. Admitting she's unable to sleep without Jimmy's snoring, Kev offers her his bed, thinking a change of scenery might help, and she accepts, but still struggling to nod off, she passes a snoring Kev on the sofa and, comforted, she lies beside him on the floor.
Concurrently, Tom is the prime suspect when Kammy finds a wreath of dead flowers addressed to Belle, with Cain demanding she not find out.
