Once Rachel leaves, Nicola, Jimmy and Angelica continue to feel apprehensive about everything that lies ahead.
Nicola Wheeler, who plays Nicola, recently said: "Ultimately Emmerdale is letting the audience know what the outcome has to be. There does have to be a custodial sentence and we know it's coming.
"We're not giving anything away there – I think everybody would know, as a death is involved. The question is just how long the custodial sentence will be. We know Angelica is going to be sent down, but for how long?"
Emmerdale airs Rachel's visit on Thursday, February 8.
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
