Belle Dingle makes a huge decision about her future
Emmerdale's Belle Dingle (played by Eden Taylor Draper) secretly arranges a doctor's appointment to sort out her contraceptive prescription, expressing her anxiety to Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) about not wanting it sent to her home like her other medication. They manage to find a solution.
Meanwhile, at the veterinary practice, Tom King (James Chase) finds himself on the receiving end of Vanessa Woodfield's (Michelle Harwick) patronising remarks after he incorrectly diagnoses an elderly dog with cancer without conducting the necessary tests. Vanessa and Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) intervene just in time, organising the correct blood tests which reveal it's merely an abscess.
As the irate customer leaves, Tom plays the victim, complaining about how unwelcome Vanessa makes him feel at the practice. In a surprising move, he invites the vet staff and their partners to a dinner party at his and Belle's house the following night.
After a challenging day, a furious Tom returns home and informs Belle about the dinner party, placing the responsibility for its success squarely on her shoulders.
Nicky Milligan left for dead after major car crash
Nicky Milligan (Lewis Cope) approaches Caleb Milligan (Will Ash) with a proposition to become an equal partner by acquiring Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) shares, only to be met with laughter, leaving him exasperated. In another location, Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) is at a bar and makes a call to inform that one of the men involved in last year's homophobic attack on them is present at the same bar.
Nicky, eager to rush to Suni's aid, is stopped by Ethan Anderson (Emile John) who insists on driving due to Nicky's intoxicated state. En route to Suni, Ethan spots a police car ahead and, fearing he might be over the limit, makes a U-turn.
As Nicky frantically tries to reach Suni on his phone, Ethan loses control of the vehicle. Following the crash, there are no signs of life from either Ethan or Nicky.
When Ethan regains consciousness, he carefully extracts Nicky from the wreckage and hides as he sees a car approaching. He watches Moira Barton (Natalie J Robb) discover an unconscious Nicky before fleeing the scene.
