Pregnant Victoria is concerned that Lee will never stand trial for raping her because she destroyed potentially vital forensic evidence including her clothes and bedding.

Robert and Aaron set a trap... but will rapist Lee fall into it?

With the police apparently not taking any action, Robert decides to take matters into his own hands. So, he and husband Aaron hit on the cunning plan of being “customers” at the car dealership where Lee works.

“Lee may have covered his back, but Robert doesn’t like not getting his own way,” says Isabel.

Lee falls for their plan and agrees to take them out on a test drive. Now, they have Lee where they want him will Robert and Aaron beat a confession out of him?

And, if they do get violent with Lee, will their actions ultimately make it even less likely that Lee will ever stand trial? And what will Victoria think of it all when she hears what they’ve done?

Emmerdale continues on ITV.
