Emmerdale airs at 8pm on ITV1
Capitalising on Caleb’s concern about Ruby’s drinking, Sadie manipulates the situation by promising to watch over Ruby while secretly plotting to drive them apart. Sadie goads Ruby into visiting the pub by revealing that Caleb asked her to keep an eye on her, framing it as a control issue to spur Ruby’s defiance.
At the Woolpack, Sadie deliberately stirs conflict by prompting a discussion about Manpreet’s past, leading to a heated public argument that paints Ruby in an unflattering light. Once Caleb intervenes, Sadie plays the supportive friend to Ruby while lying to Caleb about her efforts to stop the drinking, successfully deepening the friction in their relationship.
The next day, when Sadie suggests Caleb’s controlling, Ruby’s unconvinced, but is left grateful to have such a supportive friend. Later, Sadie convinces Ruby to have a drink before the business meeting. Caleb enters, furious to see Ruby’s wine while Sadie plays innocent.
Seeing Caleb so angry, Ruby is reminded of Sadie’s suggestion that he’s controlling, and takes a pointed swig of her drink. Ruby’s client witnesses her arguing with Caleb and leaves unimpressed. Caleb and Ruby blame each other and Ruby storms off.
Once she’s gone, Sadie manages to convince Caleb that Ruby has a problem with alcohol. Sadie continues to plant the idea of Caleb being controlling in Ruby’s mind.
