Emmerdale’s latest episode saw emotions hit breaking point as Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) lashed out in fear and guilt, leaving Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) heartbroken. With her twelve-week scan looming, Charity’s secret pregnancy continues to spiral into chaos — and her deception is becoming harder to control.

A Secret Too Heavy to Bear

Charity’s world is spinning out of control. Though she’s supposed to be carrying an embryo as a surrogate for Sarah and Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant), the truth is far darker: the baby she’s expecting was conceived during a one-night stand with Ross Barton (Michael Parr).

Unable to live with the guilt, Charity forged documents to convince Ross that the child isn’t his. But the lies keep piling up — and the weight of secrecy is starting to crush her.

Chas Stokes the Fire

Adding to her torment, Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) delivers a biting reminder about the upcoming scan, needling her cousin until Charity’s nerves are shot. By the time she returns home, her anxiety has reached boiling point.

There, she walks in on Sarah and Jacob joyfully chatting about babies and how they often resemble their fathers — an innocent conversation that sends Charity over the edge.

Consumed by panic and guilt, she lashes out, snapping at the young couple before storming off in distress.

Charity’s Guilt Turns to Deception

Though she later apologises to Sarah, the damage is done. Terrified that the scan could expose her secret, Charity lies once again — claiming the appointment has been cancelled, crushing Sarah’s excitement in the process.

Charity eventually attends the scan with Chas at her side, where relief washes over her as the sonographer finds nothing unusual. But as she gazes lovingly at the baby on the screen, it’s clear her emotional walls are cracking. Chas notices, too — alarmed by the tenderness Charity shows toward the unborn child she swore she didn’t want.

Trouble in the Corridor

Just when Charity thinks she’s gotten away with her latest deception, fate intervenes. As she leaves the hospital, she comes face-to-face with Jacob, who spots her in the corridor.

The shock on his face — and the guilt in hers — suggest the truth may not stay buried much longer.

A Web of Lies Ready to Snap

Charity Dingle has built an empire of lies, but it’s teetering on the edge. Between Chas’s suspicions, Sarah’s heartbreak, and Jacob’s unexpected discovery, Emmerdale is setting the stage for an explosive fallout that could destroy more than just relationships.

As the truth inches closer to exposure, one question remains: how far will Charity go to keep her secret safe?
