5 Emmerdale spoilers next week

1. Robert Sugden is caught out as he and Ross Barton form an unlikely team

Robert hatches a plan, and joins forces with Ross to bring Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) down.

At Home Farm, Ross and Robert try to hack into Joe's laptop, but Robert is caught in the act by Joe's fiancée Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley).

A flustered Robert decides to come clean to Dawn, telling her that Joe has a video of Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) and John (Oliver Farnworth) that he needs to delete.

Faced with yet more evidence of Joe's vile nature, how will Dawn react?

Will she choose to help Robert?

2. Cain Dingle is hit by a car after surprise Moira Dingle reunion

Cain is rocked by news from Moira that her murder charges will likely be dropped - but she still faces complicity in modern slavery.

Moira also needs an MRI scan at the hospital, and Cain feels he can't tell her about his imminent surgery, worrying it'll be too much for his wife.

Then Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) comes up with a plan for Cain and Moira to be alone at the hospital.

The couple become intimate, and Cain finally confides his fears about his operation. Moira assures him they'll face it together, and Cain's spirits are much higher when they part.

Cain gives son Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn) the keys to his newly-running car before heading to the hospital.

But while he's on the phone with Moira, telling her he thinks everything will be okay, Cain is hit by a car.

A frantic Kyle finds Cain's unconscious, bleeding body, while Moira is listening on the call, stressed as she tries to work out what's happened. Will Cain be okay?

3. Kerry Pollard stands up for Jacob Sugden amid hospital error

When Doctor Todd's (Caroline Harker) father goes into cardiac arrest, Jacob is the only one around, and he gives him CPR despite him being marked as DNR (Do Not Resuscitate).

Dr Todd is furious, and Jacob is terrified, but when he snaps at her, she orders him home.

Jacob is embarrassed and emotional, but Kerry starts to suspect there's more to his situation with Dr Todd and the pressure he's under than meets the eye.

As Kerry overhears Dr Todd having another go at Jacob, Kerry heads over for a word with her.

Kerry soon makes it clear Todd has met her match.

But when Todd reels off a list of Jacob's mistakes, Kerry fears she's made things worse for him. What happens next?

4. Eric Pollard's scheming pushes Kerry away

Pollard fakes a fall, making Kerry feel guilty for leaving him alone, and he's pleased that his manipulations are working.

He's furious when he hears Kerry talking to lover Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) about care homes, and assumes she's planning to move him into one.

When Pollard confronts Kerry and Jai about their affair and his suspicions about a care home, Kerry is shocked he knows about her and Jai.

However, Kerry is furious upon realising Pollard has been faking injuries for attention, and that he doesn't trust her.

Pollard kicks her out, and Jai suggests she stay with him.

Caleb Miligan (William Ash) reminds Pollard how much Kerry has sacrificed in her devotion to him, and Pollard is taken aback to hear she now wants a divorce and is moving out.

As an upset Kerry leaves, will Pollard put things right?

5. Rhona Goskirk chooses between Marlon Dingle and Graham Foster

Rhona lies about a house call, making Marlon suspicious enough to follow her.

At Home Farm, Rhona tends to a bleeding Graham, who was beaten by a gang after terminating a contract.

This closeness leads to them almost kissing, secretly witnessed by a devastated Marlon.

Marlon later asks Rhona if she still loves Graham, and her pained look breaks his heart.

Rhona tries to explain her feelings, and with Graham waiting for her outside the pub, Rhona meets him with a big decision. But, what has she decided?

The next day, Graham leaves Marlon and Paddy Dingle (Dominic Brunt) astonished when he takes the wrong meaning from a conversation with Marlon. Graham sets off at speed in his car, but where's he rushing off to?

Meanwhile, Marlon and Paddy organise a trip to Andy's Man Club. Will Marlon be needing to open up about his marriage before long?

You can find details of Andy's Man Club via their website.
