Jackson is dying to die!

After skydiving, Jackson has got his head out of the clouds and the reality is he still wants to die. That news brings Hazel and Aaron down to earth with a bump. Yes, Jackson says, he loves them and he's had a great time on their trip, but his real life in Emmerdale isn't a life he can live - or one he wants to live. Aaron says he can do more, but Jackson insists whatever Aaron does he can't give Jackson a will to live. Hurt and defeated, Aaron leaves Jackson and Hazel in Whitby. David's reality is that his behaviour makes him look very guilty. Victoria hears David leaving Amy a phone message and figures he wouldn't be so desperate to contact her if he didn't have a guilty conscience. That's what she tells Val, too, who then tells Pollard. And then they agree it's time to report Amy missing to the police. Ella's guilty of tormenting Adam, but he's not complaining. Adam's quad bike event has been a success and he's basking in Declan's praise. He even feels man enough to rescue Ella from the unwanted attention of a client - and she's very grateful...
