What happened in Emmerdale last night?

Last night (Tuesday January 21), Caleb had tracked down Anthony and driven him to one of Moira’s barns. There he had pulled a gun on his father-in-law and demanded he tell the truth about what he did to Ruby.

Anthony tried to talk his way out of it, claimed Ruby was lying and that as a care home kid, Caleb had no idea how real families worked. But Caleb didn’t buy any of it. He loaded the gun with one bullet and every time Anthony lied or insulted Ruby, Caleb pulled the trigger.

However when Anthony finally confessed – but with no remorse whatsoever, it was revealed the gun was empty. Caleb had just wanted him to feel the same terror Ruby had all those years ago and since.

But then Caleb loaded the gun for real. Anthony played his trump card and revealed Cain and Ruby were sleeping together. In Caleb’s moment of confusion at the revelation, Anthony lunged for the weapon and it went off. The action immediately cut to Cain arriving outside. And that was the ending so we were left wondering who got shot. Was Anthony finally dead?

Well, it turns out the answer is no. Anthony managed to escape.

The action picked up as Cain raced into the barn to find Anthony running into the fields and Caleb brandishing a gun.

Neither of them had been hit. The gun had gone off when Anthony tried to grab it off him. Caleb then bent down to pick it up, but Anthony got past him and fled.

Caleb still wanted to go after his father-in-law, but Cain talked him out of it and they headed home, where Caleb was making barbed comments about Cain being the saviour. But he didn’t confront his brother or wife over what he had been told.

Although Anthony got away, he only hobbled as far as the depot, where his plan was to contact Steph. But his phone died.

Inside, as he tried to use the office phone, he was confronted by a menacing Aaron Dingle. Aaron had put two and two together and worked everything out. He knows what Anthony is and he is out to punish him.

So what happens next? Will Aaron finish Anthony off?
