In an upcoming episode of Emmerdale, Joe Tate (played by Ned Porteous) delivers on his promise of revenge against Caleb Miligan (William Ash) and Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly), with consequences that are both dark and disturbing. The episode, which has not yet aired on ITV1 but is available on ITVX and YouTube, delves into the aftermath of a dramatic series of events that have left the village in shock. Earlier in the story, Caleb and Ruby helped Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) leave the village with Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) and their children. Dawn believed that Joe had attacked Billy and hospitalized him, which was a key part of their escape plan. However, the plan started to unravel when Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) questioned Dawn about how Billy knew Joe had attacked him, suggesting the injury might have been from behind. Although Dawn managed to escape, Graham's words stayed with her as she drove away with Billy and the children. Doubt crept into Dawn's mind, leading her to confront Billy, who eventually admitted he had lied. He revealed that Joe had not attacked him, shattering her belief in the plan. Determined to reconcile with Joe, Dawn made her way to the wedding marquee where she hoped to marry him. However, tragedy struck when Jimmy King (Nick Miles) crashed his car into the tent, killing both him and Dawn in the ensuing chaos. In the wake of Dawn's death, Joe has been emotionally distant, cutting ties with Graham and Kim Tate (Claire King), and avoiding any connection with Dawn's children. Initially, he refused to allow anyone at her funeral, but he eventually relented, allowing Kim, Graham, Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham), Billy, and the children to attend. Despite this, Joe remained emotionally detached, focused on his revenge. During the funeral, Joe is seen speaking privately at a grave, expressing his grief over losing Dawn. However, it becomes clear that he is not at her resting place. Instead, he is at the site of a freshly dug grave, where he has secretly buried Ruby in a coffin. As the air in the underground space runs low, Ruby's survival is uncertain. The question remains: if Caleb discovers Ruby's location, will she still be alive?
