As a beautiful day begins in the village of Emmerdale, a tranquil scene quickly turns ominous with the sudden appearance of a lifeless body being dragged away by an unseen assailant.
Meanwhile, a furtive Rhona makes a secret call, while Marlon also looks guilty as he sends off a text.
Outside the vets, Ross pulls up in his vehicle with a dishevelled April and it's clear they too share a story.
Marlon is overwhelmed with joy to see April back. A worried Rhona asks if further repercussions from Ray or Celia are likely, but April's answer is non-committal.

Mackenzie is utterly heartbroken at the scale of her lies and the fact she would have let her granddaughter raise a baby that wasn't hers. Mack insists that they should go directly to the airport to tell the truth to Sarah, who is departing for her honeymoon.
