This week on Emmerdale, a familiar face returns to the village - and Belle in particular is left with a spring in her step.
Elsewhere, Cain beats up a light-fingered Nicky, Cathy comes to a big decision and Marshall drinks himself into hospital.
Read on for pictures and spoilers from this week's new episodes!
Cain catches Nicky in the act
Nicky breaks into the garage and as he looks around to find the keys, he's shocked to see Cain standing behind him. Cain punches Nicky in the stomach as Caleb watches on, refusing to intervene, and when Nicky tries to defend himself with a wrench, Cain lays a hard punch smack in his face. Later, Cain admits to a sympathetic Moira what he did, while in the beer garden, Caleb puts Nicky in his place.
Caleb interrogates Nicky about where he was last night and Nicky admits to being with someone, before rushing off.
When Chas asks Caleb to move into the Woolpack, he agrees but is left wondering if he made the correct decision.
Cathy and Marshall try to dull the pain
The headteacher, Miss Cathcart, suggests that Cathy defer a year while they await a formal diagnosis of her condition, but Cathy persuades her to let her take the exams.
Cathy swipes some bottles of vodka from the B&B and heads to the cricket pavilion, where she and Marshall drown their sorrows. Bob, Laurel and Brenda eventually track them down and find them unwell. Laurel hopes she's got through to Marshall but later, in his room, he secretly opens another bottle of vodka and starts drinking again...
Having flown off the handle and injured Bob, Cathy packs a bag and leaves the B&B with tears in her eyes before heading out into the night...
Laurel screams when she discovers Marshall unconscious on his bed with vomit around his mouth. Jai calls for an ambulance.
