Emmerdale's Ruby Milligan is about to lose it in Wednesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Ruby Milligan is thrown when she takes receipt of her mum Helen's ashes.

Given that mother and daughter were still estranged when Helen died, loads of questions will forever remain unanswered and it's killing Ruby.

Of course, what she doesn't know is that someone way closer to home could put her out of her misery: her husband Caleb who visited Helen on her deathbed.

After wrangling with his despised mother-in-law, Caleb promised to bring Ruby to her bedside… for a fee of £100K!

Helen paid up… but passed away before she clapped eyes on her long-lost daughter who's been left desperate for closure.

In a state, after making a snap decision about what to do with her mum's ashes, Ruby heads straight for the Woolie and drowns her sorrows.

Bending Chas' ear, haunted Ruby opens up to her sister-in-law who urges her to call the hospital to see if they can tell her anything about Helen's last days.

Biting the bullet, Ruby contacts the ward and is stunned to find out that her mum had been trying to reach her and wanted to reconcile.

Reeling, to Ruby's utter horror, the hospital worker goes on to recall Caleb's visits to Helen's bedside, unwittingly landing Ruby's husband in huuuuuuge trouble.

Uh oh…

What will Caleb say when Ruby confronts him?
