In Emmerdale, fans witnessed Rose Jackson taking drastic measures to bring down Kim Tate in this week’s episodes. On Friday, viewers saw the fallout from Dawn Taylor being accidentally drugged by her mother, Rose. Initially, Rose’s plan was to spike her ex, Will Taylor, to seduce him and disrupt his marriage to Kim Tate. However, when the family returned home early, Dawn mistakenly consumed her father’s drink and ended up in a car crash. Believing someone had spiked her, Dawn suspected Kim, who had a history of such actions.
In the latest episode, Rose continued to shift the blame onto Kim to divert attention from herself. She went as far as hiring someone to pose as a drug dealer, who barged into the house demanding money from Kim, claiming she owed him. Kim, bewildered, denied knowing the man, but her family didn’t believe her. Furious at the perceived betrayal, Dawn decided to move out with her children, unable to trust Kim. Concerned for her grandson Evan’s weak immune system, Kim chose to leave the house to prevent any harm.
The episode concluded with Rose meeting the fake drug dealer, paying him for his role in framing Kim. As Kim walked through the village, she saw the exchange, realizing she had been set up. The intense eye contact between the two women indicated that they are both prepared to go to great lengths to protect their families.
Viewers quickly took to Twitter, predicting that even more drama is on the horizon, with many anticipating significant upheavals as the conflict between Rose and Kim escalates.
