The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.
Joe Tate’s (Ned Porteous) kidney donation has been a success in Emmerdale, but his hopes of carrying on as though nothing has happened have been completely destroyed by news from Doctor Crowley (James Hillier).
Yesterday, Joe’s uncle Caleb Miligan (William Ash) was stabbed by a man called Shaun. They had previously attempted to drug Caleb to knock him unconscious ahead of the operation, but it didn’t work.
Once Shaun committed the crime and legged it, Joe arrived outside the depot. Looking like the hero, Joe pulled Caleb into his car and drove him to Crowley.
The surgeon managed to stabilise Caleb ready for the op but just as he updated Joe, Caleb started to flatline.
In tonight’s episode, Crowley instructed Joe to get ready for his surgery as he worked hard to keep Caleb alive.
After the operation, Ruby (Beth Cordingly) was finally informed that Caleb was in hospital after being stabbed.
As she raced over there, Joe was waking up and had discovered the donation was a success.
Ruby and Steph (Georgia Jay) were told that Caleb had lost his kidney as a result of the injuries sustained in the stabbing, but wasn’t informed it had been donated to his nephew.
As Crowley spoke with the trio, a police officer arrived and he was immediately on edge.
Just before the episode ended, Crowley visited Joe and said the police officer revealed that Shaun has been arrested.
It was an eventuality Joe had not considered, which now means the risks surrounding the truth getting exposed have increased even more.
Crowley and Joe are both aware that they could go to prison if the donation is uncovered, but Joe told him that if Caleb finds out, their fate will be worse than prison time.
The clock is ticking again – can Joe and Crowley get away before the kidney donation is revealed?
