After recently coming face-to-face with Wendy, Victoria is desperate to escape the village and move somewhere that she won’t be able to find her, and next week she puts Keepers Cottage on the market.
Despite not wanting Victoria to leave, Diane helps her prepare the house so it is ready for the estate agent’s visit.
But just as the agent is about to arrive, Victoria is stunned to see Wendy is back, and this time she means business.
As Robert distracts the estate agent, Victoria and Diane steer Wendy away, desperate for her not to find out that Victoria is planning to leave the village.
Wendy is adamant that she wants to be part of the baby’s life and drops the bombshell that Lee might even go for custody, causing to Diane to see red and desperately try to get rid of her.
By the time she has gone, Victoria is terrified and more determined than ever to leave the village and the trauma of the past few months behind her.
Seeing what a mess Victoria is in, Diane goes the extra mile and asks Pollard to buy her out of the B&B, determined to get some money to help the desperate mum-to-be. But will Pollard make her an offer?

While Diane is understanding and knows this is something that Victoria has to do, not everyone is as understanding.
Robert is fuming that Lee’s actions are driving his sister out of her own home, and stalks him from afar at his house.
But what is Robert planning, and will it be enough to convince Victoria to stay?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
