Emmerdale’s Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) has been valiantly fighting for Butlers like her life depends on it, but it’s time for her to let go.
Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) has been playing dirty trying to get the farm for Kim Tate (Claire King) so that she can see her dream of one big super farm come to fruition, but she’s fought so hard, she’s now feeling as empty as her slurry tank.
Her neighbour Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) had offered her a lifeline of a contract with a local hotel.
They were looking for a new meat supplier, and while Celia could offer the poultry, to make the deal viable she needed Moira on board with the beef.
Realising that this was the one way to keep her business afloat, Moira jumped straight into the deal, despite Celia being a shady business partner herself.
But things take a weird and sudden turn – the hotel pulls out of the deal and the contract falls through. Moira is left in the nightmare situation of being even more in the red than before.
Meanwhile, Joe shocks Dawn with the levels he’ll sink to, to get the farm.
The hotel comes back to Moira and Celia to counter the offer – laying just half of what was originally offered on the table.

It’s not enough and the death knell sounds for Butlers. Celia arrives with food for thought for Moira – she’s quitting farming having been priced out by the Tates, and she suggests Moira does too.
With no options left, it looks like Moira must give in to Joe. But could Joe have been behind all of this?
Is this what he meant when he told Dawn how low he would go?
