Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) continues her fight for justice after her sexual assault by Dr Caitlin Todd (Caroline Harker) in Emmerdale next week. Despite reporting Todd's blackmail campaign, she feels defeated by the police response. While Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) supports her, it's Serena Sugden (Casey Al-Shaqsy) who finally gets through to her.
Charity's Struggle and a New Revelation
On Monday, June 29, Charity reveals to DS Reid (Angela Lonsdale) that Todd was blackmailing her before the assault, but is dismayed to learn it will be treated separately from the initial charge. She feels further wounded that she's failed to protect Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill). Mack worries when Charity insists on attending Leyla's christening. Meanwhile, Sarah's suspicions are raised when Serena lets slip she knows about John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), but parks her concerns after learning Serena has been sleeping in her car and offers her a bed.
On Tuesday, June 30, Serena boosts a despondent Charity, who reaffirms her dedication to securing justice. A flash forward shows a crime scene with a motionless hand covered in blood, and a flash photograph reveals the victim.

Nicola schemes to get him out of the village.

Later, Charity and Mack are blindsided when police arrive looking to speak to Mack. Kev is irked when he can't remember where he knows Serena from, as Nicola continues scheming.
