After Carl’s arrest, the King family almost collapsed. Nicola couldn’t stand the pressure, Jimmy was haunted by humiliation.

Meanwhile, the most pitiful person was Clemmie – she became the focus of malicious gossip.

At school, Clemmie was teased by her friends, called “the little orchid girl”.

She was scared and didn’t dare to go to class.

Dawn found out that her daughter was being bullied, and immediately became angry. She went to school, confronted the teacher, and then went to the parents of the other children. “Do you know what my child is going through?” – Dawn screamed, tears streaming down her face.

Meanwhile, Nicola gradually suspected that Carl was being set up. She and Jimmy looked back at the phone data, and discovered that someone had logged into Carl’s account remotely. But when they call the police, things get messy: evidence is erased, and Clemmie is dragged back into the investigation.

Meanwhile, Dawn decides to strike back. She writes “Clemmie is a victim, not a villain” on the village wall. The villagers are divided: some support her, some oppose her. Nicola fears the incident will isolate her family. Jimmy wants to leave Emmerdale, but Nicola insists on staying to fight.

At the end of the episode, Nicola and Jimmy have a heated argument. “I can’t live in this village any longer!” Jimmy shouts. Nicola replies: “If you leave, you’re just like Carl!” The door slams shut, leaving a cold void between two people who once loved each other so much.
