Emmerdale spoilers: Rhona Goskirk learns the extent of Pierce Harris’ plan

Rhona is becoming increasingly frustrated with the police, who refuse to take her concerns about Pierce stalking her seriously.

Paddy thinks that they need to gather more evidence before they can accuse Pierce of murdering Graham – but that doesn't stop Rhona sharing her suspicions with Kim.

Following Rhona's bombshell Al is dismissive, but Kim demands he retell her his version of events from that evening and Al eventually admits that it wasn't actually him who killed Graham.

Kim is quietly relieved by the revelation. After some more digging, Kim finds a photo of Rhona and Pierce from an old news report and is shocked to see Pierce is actually 'Ollie' - the man who's been acting as her solicitor in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Charity has been driving herself mad imagining Vanessa is having a wonderful time in Paris, but when she finds her passport and tickets still at Jacob's Fold, alarm bells begin to ring.

Over at Mulberry, Vanessa is still tied up and panicked as she watches Pierce prepared to lure Rhona to the house. After a last ditch attempt at escaping, Pierce turns even more sinister.

Later on, Rhona receives a video call from Vanessa and it's quickly apparent that all is not well. Rhona's stomach drops when Vanessa tells her she's with Pierce.

While Vanessa struggles to communicate what's really going on with Rhona, Rhona is horror-struck as it dawns on her what's going on.

Soon, Pierce grabs Vanessa's phone and speaks directly to Rhona, telling her that if she ever wants to see Vanessa or Johnny again, she has to meet him.

Hanging up the phone, Rhona is rooted to the spot in fear after agreeing to meet Pierce in the interest of saving Vanessa and Johnny.

Steadying herself to face Pierce again, Rhona is even more panicked when she receives a text telling her to be ready with a bag, and arrives at Mulberry with one packed.

When Pierce answers the door, Rhona plays along and hands over her phone. Determined to buy some more time, Rhona suggests they have something to eat before they set off.

Pierce agrees to have a meal to make up for lost time. But while he's upstairs, Kim hammers on the front door, demanding to know what's going on.

But before Rhona can get Kim to leave, Pierce arrives from upstairs and knocks Kim out cold with a chair over the head.

Rhona takes the opportunity to bravely confront Pierce and tells Pierce she knows he killed Graham. Pierce drags Kim to the garage and ties her up.

Elsewhere, Mandy expresses to Bob how disappointed she is that their campaign to clear Marlon's name hasn't gained more traction, but the Vinny has a plan.

With Jai home from rehab, Laurel is thrilled to have reunited with him.

Still locked up, a downcast Marlon despairs that he may never get out of prison when he hears of the villagers' dire efforts.

Later, Doug has some monumental news for Laurel, who is thrilled, but when Arthur learns the news he feels betrayed by them both.

There's more despair in store for Charity who is shocked to hear yet more devastating news, leaving her suspicious.
